How deposits work in Sully
Step 01
Set your rules
Configure deposit amounts by party size, day or time. Require deposits for Friday–Saturday only, or for parties of 6+, or always — you decide.
Step 02
Guest enters card
When a guest books online, they securely enter their card details via Stripe. Their card is either charged a deposit or pre-authorised (held, not charged) depending on your rules.
Step 03
Reminders go out
Sully sends automatic SMS and email reminders before the booking. Guests know their card is on file — no-show rates drop dramatically.
Step 04
Charge no-shows
If a guest doesn’t turn up, charge the no-show fee with one click from the booking details screen. The money goes straight to your bank via Stripe.
Deposit FAQs
- Do I need Stripe?
- Yes — you connect your own Stripe account in Settings → Payments. Deposits and charges go directly to you; Sully never holds your money.
- Is the deposit feature an extra cost?
- No. Deposits, pre-authorisations and no-show charging are included in the flat £29/month. No add-on fees.
- Can I set different rules for different days?
- Yes. You can require deposits for peak days (e.g. Friday–Sunday) and not for midweek, or require them for all bookings above a certain party size.
- What if a guest cancels in time?
- You set a cancellation window. If the guest cancels before the deadline, the deposit can be refunded automatically or manually from the dashboard.
