Payments

Deposits, no-show fees, and refunds — without the platform fee.

Stripe Connect powers every payment. You collect deposits at booking, charge no-shows automatically, and pay zero platform fee on transactions.

Built on Stripe Connect

Industry-standard payment infrastructure with zero markup from us.

Stripe Connect

Connect your own Stripe account in minutes. Payments go directly to your bank — Servegalo never holds your money.

Deposits at booking

Configurable deposit per service. No deposit, no booking — drops no-show rates by 60–80%.

No-show fees

Charge the saved payment method automatically when a no-show is logged. Configurable per service.

Zero platform fee

Servegalo charges 0% on collected transactions. You pay Stripe's rate (2.9% + 30¢) — same as any other Stripe-based product.

Refunds in two clicks

Issue full or partial refunds from the booking detail. Refund records sync back to the client CRM.

PCI-compliant by default

Card data never touches Servegalo servers. Stripe handles the compliance, tokenization, and storage.

Deposits change everything.

Service businesses that take a $20 deposit see no-show rates drop from 15-25% down to under 5%. That single change usually pays for the platform many times over.

Servegalo wires Stripe Connect into the booking flow so deposits happen at the moment of commitment — not as an afterthought. The card is saved for the no-show fee policy, the receipt goes out automatically, and the funds land in your bank account on Stripe's standard schedule.

Pair deposits with automated reminders and smart booking rules to see the no-show number drop within the first month.

Common questions

Does Servegalo take a percentage of my transactions?

No. Servegalo takes 0% on collected payments. You pay Stripe's standard rate (typically 2.9% + 30¢ in the US) directly. The only Servegalo fee is on the Free plan, which charges 3% per booking for businesses not yet ready to subscribe.

Do I need an existing Stripe account?

No. Stripe Connect creates a Stripe account for you during onboarding if you don't have one. Existing Stripe users can connect their account in one click.

When do I get paid?

Payouts follow your Stripe schedule (typically 2-day rolling). Servegalo never holds your funds — money flows directly from the customer's card to your bank account.

Can I take payment in person too?

Yes. Booking deposits collect online; in-person balance is handled via your existing terminal or Stripe Terminal. Both flows write back to the same booking record.
