Stop no-shows. Get paid before you show up.

An advance deposit booking system requires clients to pay a portion of the service fee upfront, at the exact moment they make a booking, before the appointment slot is confirmed. The deposit holds the slot and creates a financial consequence for not attending. If the client attends, the advance counts toward their final balance and they pay only the remainder on the day. If they do not show, they forfeit the advance automatically — no negotiation required. Traditional booking systems let clients reserve time at zero cost, which is why no-shows are so common. Deposit-first booking turns a loose commitment into a financial one. Hapo implements this model specifically for Ghana's service economy, using Mobile Money as the deposit payment rail so that the barrier to payment is as low as possible for Ghanaian clients.
