No-shows are one of the biggest disruptions in the daily life of many salons. Customers book but don't show up – and you're left with lost time. In conversations with many of our users, the same number keeps coming up: More than 2 no-shows per week is completely normal for many. That's why we developed Shore Pay Online – our integrated way to collect online prepayments directly at booking.

Why Shore Pay Online Is So Effective
Online prepayments are one of the most effective tools against no-shows. Our data shows: With prepayment, the no-show rate drops to nearly 0%.
But security is just one of the benefits. Many studios and salons also benefit from:
- revenue coming in earlier,
- clearer processes,
- and less time spent on follow-ups or unpaid services.
Your Five Key Benefits
1. Fair Price: 2.49% Per Transaction
We wanted a simple fee model that works for small businesses. Compared to many other providers who charge between 2.9% + 30-50 cents, Shore Pay Online is clearly cheaper.
2. Practically No More No-Shows
Paying customers show up reliably.
This makes your day predictable – and protects your valuable time.
3. Financial Security
You collect payment directly at booking.
That means no lost services and no chasing unpaid appointments.
4. Everything Integrated
Transactions, invoices, refunds:
Everything is right in your Shore calendar – automatically assigned and cleanly documented.
5. Coming Soon: Deposits
Many studios have asked us if their customers can also pay just a portion.
Yes – that's exactly what we're working on.
Flexible deposits will be the next major update to Shore Pay Online.
How to Get Started with Shore Pay Online

- and tailored to small businesses.
Shore Pay Online makes your calendar more reliable and your daily life more relaxed.
