Payments & Deposits

How it works

Deposits to receipts, handled.

  1. 1

    Set your deposit policy

    Choose which services need a deposit and how much. High-risk or high-value bookings can require one before the slot is held.

  2. 2

    It's collected automatically

    Clients pay as part of booking — online or via a secure link Iris can send during a call. Stripe handles the card securely.

  3. 3

    It reconciles itself

    Payments, deposits and confirmations are tracked against each appointment, so your numbers add up without manual entry.

What it does for you

Protect revenue, lose the admin.

A deposit changes behaviour

When a slot is backed by a deposit, the cost of not turning up is clear up front — which is designed to dramatically reduce no-shows.

Secure by design

Payments run through Stripe's tokenised checkout. Card numbers never touch RunChair's servers, so you carry less risk.

No manual reconciliation

Every payment is tied to its appointment automatically — no spreadsheet, no end-of-day matching, no chasing.

Questions, answered

About payments.

How are card details handled?

Through Stripe's secure, tokenised checkout. Card numbers never touch RunChair's servers — we only ever see a payment reference. See our security page for detail.

Can Iris take a deposit over the phone?

Yes. For high-risk bookings, Iris can explain the deposit, get consent and send a secure payment link by text during the call.
