A 3-hour detail is gone the moment they don’t show. Text your customer a link, they put a hold on their card, and a no-show can’t cost you the whole slot.
No card needed. $19C$25.99/month after. See pricing
A message from your detailer
“Hi Dana, confirming Saturday 9am for your full interior detail. Secure your visit with a temporary $50 card hold using the link below.”
A hold, not a charge.
The customer sees your hold and cancellation terms before confirming.
Card hold before you load the van Customers don’t need an app Before and after photos on every receipt
How it works
Book it. Protect it. Get paid.
Four taps from the booking to the receipt.
01
Book the job
Add the customer, their vehicle and the package. It goes on your calendar.
02
Tap Protect this job
They get a text link and put a hold on their card with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card. No app, no account.
03
Text “on my way”
One tap texts them your arrival time, another when you’ve arrived.
04
Get paid before you pack up
The hold counts toward the bill, the rest charges to the same card, and they get a receipt by text.
Made for the driveway
Built for work at the customer’s place.
Protect the slot before you load the van
A long detail can fill half your day. With a hold on the card, a no-show or a last-minute cancel can cost the customer your fee instead of costing you the slot. A hold, not a charge: nothing moves unless the job happens.
Before, during and after photos
Photos go on the job and on the receipt. They show the condition you started with and the result you delivered, and they’re your proof if a charge is ever disputed.
Your packages, one tap
Save “Full interior”, “Exterior wash” or “Ceramic coating” as canned jobs with your own prices and drop them onto an estimate. Set a reminder to text a customer when they’re due for their next detail, and rebook in a few taps.
Every customer text in one inbox
Customers reply to your texts and it lands next to their job, photos included. Reply in a tap.
Every car’s history
Each customer’s vehicles keep a job timeline, so you know what you did last time and what they paid.
No. A hold sets an amount aside on the customer’s card. The money stays in their account, and if you never use it the hold drops off their card by itself after 7 days (their bank decides exactly when). If the job happens, it counts toward the final bill.
What does my customer need to do?+
Tap the link in your text and put the hold on their card. No app to install and no account to make.
What if they no-show or cancel late?+
One screen lets you charge your fee from the hold, or release it. You set the hold amount and how much notice a free cancellation needs.
Where does the money go?+
Payments go straight into your own Stripe account. The card number goes to Stripe, never to you and never to FlagHour.
