Deposits & payments
Stop no-shows with deposits
Your AI books the appointment, then texts the caller a secure link to pay the deposit. Pay links and an on-site QR code cover the rest.
A no-show is a slot you can't sell twice
A booking with nothing at stake is easy to skip. Chasing deposits by phone eats the time the booking was supposed to save.

How Ahoya handles it
A deposit after every booking
When the AI books a call, the caller gets a text from your business with a secure link for the deposit you set.
Pay links by text
Type an amount and text a link from your dashboard. The customer pays by card on their phone.
A QR code on site
Show your payment QR at the counter or on the job. Customers scan it and pay.

How do deposits cut no-shows?
A customer who has paid a deposit has a reason to turn up. Ahoya asks for it by text the moment the appointment is booked, so nobody on your team has to chase it.
What does it cost?
3.2% + $0.30 per card payment, all in. There is no extra monthly fee: payments come with the Starter plan and up. Cards issued outside your country and currency conversion cost a little more.
Where does the money go?
Straight to your own payout account, then to your bank on your payout schedule. Ahoya never holds your money, and refunds and disputes are handled from your dashboard.
Is it part of the free trial?
No. The free trial covers answering and booking calls. Deposits, pay links and QR payments start on the Starter plan, for businesses in the US and Canada.
