Take bookings on your own website
Your services, your hours, your rules — and no commission to a marketplace on every booking.
Booking platforms are convenient and expensive. They own the customer, they charge per booking or per month, and the listing they give you competes with everybody else on the same page.
Clay puts the booking on your own site. Somebody searches your name, lands on your page, sees when you are free and books — and the whole transaction is between you and them.
Your week, with the gaps in it
Set the hours you work and how long each service takes. Clay works out the slots, keeps them from overlapping and stops offering a time once it is gone.
Closed on Mondays, a long lunch on Thursdays, two weeks in August — all of that is the same thing: hours you are not there.
A deposit, where a no-show costs you
For a chair or a table, a booking that does not turn up is the whole margin of the slot. You can require a deposit — a fixed amount or a share of the price — taken by card when the booking is made.
It is optional and per service, because a fifteen-minute fringe trim does not need one.
What you get
Your services, priced
Name, length, price, and where it happens. Group them however your business does.
The owner is told
A new booking mails the address you nominate, with the customer's own address as the reply-to — so pressing Reply reaches the person who booked.
No commission
There is no per-booking fee. What the customer pays is what you get, minus the card processing.

Questions
Does it sync with my Google Calendar?
Not yet. Bookings live on your site and you get an email for each one; a calendar feed is on the list.
Can I take a deposit?
Yes, per service — a fixed amount or a percentage, taken by card at the time of booking.
What stops two people booking the same slot?
The server checks again when the booking is submitted, not just when the page was drawn. A slot that went while somebody was filling the form is refused rather than double-booked.
Can a customer cancel?
Yes, from a link in their confirmation, and you are told.
How much does it cost?
Booking is part of the site. There is no fee per booking and no separate booking plan.
Can I close a day at short notice?
Yes, and the slots stop being offered immediately. Anybody already booked keeps their booking and you have their number.
Do you take a cut of the deposit?
No. Deposits go through Stripe into your own account and Clay takes nothing per booking — which is the whole argument against a marketplace: what a deposit protects.
