Deposits made easy
Deposits, built into the booking.
A professional deposit process builds trust and reduces no-shows. pencild makes deposits part of the booking flow, with payments going straight to your own Stripe account.
The problem
Asking for deposits feels awkward
Chasing payments by hand is uncomfortable, and no-shows cost you money. A clear, consistent process fixes both.
The awkward follow-up
Nobody wants to send the "just checking you sent that deposit" message. So it gets left, and bookings slip.
Confusion about amounts
Clients forget how much was due. You end up re-explaining the same terms over and over.
Tracking is manual
Spreadsheets, notes apps, and memory. Remembering who paid what and when is exhausting.
The fix
Deposits built into booking
When you confirm a booking, pencild handles the deposit request. Clients get a professional payment page, and you get paid straight to your own Stripe account.
Your own Stripe account
Payments go directly to you. pencild never holds your money, and the policy is yours to set.
Consent before payment
Clients agree to your terms before they pay, on a clean page with no login required.
