+ WmClarke Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 How do clients feel about booking online? Is this the new norm? A new masseur wants me to book online for this weekend. I certainly understand why, from the provider’s perspective. But I’m leery of providing a credit card online. Especially since I found him on Scruff. Thoughts? Opinion? Advice?

ICTJOCK Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I'd be apprehensive to provide a credit card number at this stage, but this could really a viable form of payment for future transactions. I'd be open, provided security was clear. I remember when "paypal" first came about and I had to get over the "safety principal". We all have security concerns in today's world. I think the original posters concerns are valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuickMonkey216 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I fell for that once. It was a total scam! Luckily I used my credit and not my debit card. It was still a huge pain to dispute the charge and get my money back tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Suraci Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 My clients book me online. No credit card required, no cancellation fees. It’s automatic and it sends all the information in a confirmation email. It’s possible to pay online with a cc but I prefer my clients pay in person after the service, even if they want to use a cc. There are slightly lower payment processing fees that way and it puts them at ease. Most clients prefer booking by text. They often have some questions which I’m happy to answer. I manually book them into my online system once they confirm services and time. Same as if they did it themselves. thomas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
