Where should I put a booking cancellation policy?

Put the short version before the booking confirmation button, then repeat the same rule in the confirmation message, reminder message, and direct-message template.

What should the policy say for an online booking page?

State the notice window, how to reschedule, what happens after a late cancellation or no-show, whether a deposit applies, and that the rule is shown before the client books.

Can I charge a fee or keep a deposit through a booking platform?

NoShowGuard does not provide legal, platform, processor, or card-network advice. Check local rules, platform terms, and payment disclosure requirements before using fees, deposits, prepayment, or non-refundable wording.

Booking page policy

Booking platform cancellation policy template

If clients book through a booking page, social link, or direct message, the policy has to be short enough to read before they confirm. Use this page to tighten the visible rule, then request a free first draft for one service.

Booking page rule

Please give at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations and no-shows may require a new deposit before another appointment is confirmed.

Confirmation message

Your appointment is reserved. If you need to make a change, please use the booking link or contact us before the cancellation window.

Reminder message

This is a reminder for your appointment. Please arrive on time so we can complete the full service. Contact us quickly if something changes.

Pushback reply

The policy keeps reserved time fair for everyone. I am happy to help reschedule when notice is sent before the cutoff.

Use this when

You rely on a booking page, card-on-file setting, deposit option, social booking link, or direct-message booking flow.

Send for a free draft

Include your service, appointment price, weekly bookings, booking platform or channel, notice window, and the exact client pushback you hear.

Check the numbers

Use the appointment deposit calculator to estimate monthly no-show exposure and whether one avoided no-show can cover the USD 29 custom pack.

Keep the risk clear

Fees, deposits, prepayment, deductions, and non-refundable wording should be reviewed against local rules, platform terms, and payment requirements.
