A booking without a deposit is a maybe
The job that gets cancelled on the morning is rarely the one the customer paid something towards. A deposit is not really about the money, it is about turning an intention into a commitment, and it does that at the moment of booking rather than the moment you arrive.
Deposits run through Stripe and land when the customer books. On the day, Tap to Pay takes the balance on your phone without a card reader, so the job is closed out before you have left the drive.
For work that repeats, servicing rounds and maintenance contracts, Direct Debit through GoCardless collects without you raising anything.
Trades that lean on this most

Common questions
When is the deposit taken?
At the point the customer books, through Stripe, rather than when you turn up. That is what makes it change behaviour.
Do I need a card reader?
No. Tap to Pay takes the card on your own phone on supported handsets, so the balance can be paid before you leave.
Can I collect for a servicing round automatically?
Yes. Direct Debit through GoCardless handles repeat and recurring work, so a maintenance round collects without you raising anything each time.
How much deposit should I ask for?
You set it. Smaller jobs tend to work at around a quarter; work where you are buying materials up front usually needs more. It is a setting, not a fixed rule.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. 10 days free, no card needed.
