Questions
Will I lose marketplace discovery with Slot’d?
Slot’d isn’t a marketplace — it’s your own link. If most of your business comes from people you already reach (social, referrals, repeat clients), that’s exactly who Slot’d is for.
Can clients pay a deposit?
Yes — take a deposit or full payment at booking via Stripe, which sharply cuts no-shows.
What does Slot’d cost?
Start free — Slot’d takes 2.5% per booking (min 75¢) on the free plan. Solo is $19/mo and takes no cut at all; you keep 100% of your payouts. Stripe’s standard processing applies to card payments either way.
