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.
