Never wonder if you'll get paid
Deposits are authorized before the appointment. If your customer ghosts you, the deposit becomes yours automatically.
The safer way to take deposits.
Verivo holds your customer's deposit until they release it at the appointment. Safer than Venmo. Smarter than no deposit at all.
Built on Stripe · No subscription · You pay a flat fee per deposit
Their card isn't charged until they show up
Verivo holds the deposit neutral. The card is authorized but not charged until your customer releases the deposit at the appointment.
Safer than Venmo or Cash App
Customers won't send $100 to someone they don't know on Venmo. They will leave a Verivo deposit because their money is protected until they authorize release.
How it works
- 1
Customer books
You send the customer a payment link by email or SMS. They enter their card details on a hosted Stripe page.
- 2
Deposit is authorized, not charged
Stripe places an authorization hold on the card. The money stays with the customer's bank — it isn't moved anywhere.
- 3
You perform the service
No-shows still owe you the deposit; we'll capture it according to the policy you set when you created the booking.
- 4
Customer releases the deposit
On-site, the customer authorizes release by entering a short code or scanning a QR — proof that the service happened.
- 5
You get paid
Stripe captures the authorization, routes the funds straight to your connected bank account, and we take a small flat fee.
For customers
If you have a booking, your service provider will send you a payment link by email or SMS — you don't need an account on this site. Your deposit stays on your card and is only released when you authorize it.
