The groom goes ahead
$100 totalThe hold rolls straight into checkout. They only pay the remaining balance.
Protect your income without having to be the bad guy.
FAIR FOR CLIENTS. FAIR FOR YOU.
Clear rules upfront. Zero chasing down the road.
Say you charge $100 with a 50% deposit and 24 hours notice. The hold isn’t an extra fee on top—it’s just quiet insurance that works in the background.
They cancel early
$0 feeIf they give you fair notice, the hold vanishes automatically. No fees, no hassle.
They ghost or cancel late
$50 deposit paid to youClippie collects your fee automatically. No begging for payment, no chasing invoices.
You set the deposit percentage, grace period, and cancellation window. Clippie does the math.
ZERO AWKWARD TEXTS
Blame the system. Keep the relationship.
Your time has value the moment it’s booked.
You cleared the table, queued your route, or turned down other pet parents. An upfront hold ensures an empty spot doesn’t eat into your week’s earnings.
We take the heat so you don’t have to.
Never send a cringey text asking for a cancellation fee. When your policy triggers, you can point to Clippie—we’re the bad guy so you stay the trusted groomer.
Total control when life happens.
Did Milo’s owner have a genuine emergency or a flat tire? You can waive or reverse any fee in one tap within 24 hours. You keep the empathy; we handle the enforcement.
HOW IT WORKS
Your policy. Your clients. Your call.
Set your house rules.
Turn on No-Show Shield and pick your deposit percentage, cancellation window, and grace period. You decide what fair protection looks like.
Clients back their booking upfront.
Pet parents see your cancellation terms before confirming. A temporary card hold anchors the visit—no surprise charges, no awkward conversations.
Let Clippie do the enforcing.
When the groom finishes, the hold rolls into the final total. If someone ghosts or cancels last minute, Clippie collects your fee automatically.
What if I have to cancel or reschedule?
You’re never penalized. If you need to cancel an appointment, the card hold is released immediately with zero fees to anyone.
Do pet parents get charged when they book?
No. It’s an authorization hold, not an upfront charge. They only see a temporary hold near the appointment date, exactly like checking into a hotel.
Can I turn No-Show Shield off?
Yes, anytime. You can toggle it on or off in your settings whenever you want. You run your business your way.
Protect your time without burning bridges.
