Yes. The Hive takes deposits on card or bank, so a client just uses whichever they have. The deposit is taken at booking, so the slot is locked before it ever lands on your calendar, and every deposit pays straight to your own account — The Hive never holds your money. Escalating deposits still apply whether the client pays by card or bank, and your book and clients stay yours.
Short answer: bank or card, the client's choice. Some clients live on a debit card, some prefer a bank transfer — The Hive handles both, so nobody bails on a booking because their payment method wasn't an option.
Whichever they pick, the deposit is taken the moment they book. The slot is locked before it hits your calendar, and the money lands in your account, not one The Hive controls.
Same three moves whether the deposit comes off a card or a bank transfer.
At booking, the client pays the deposit with whichever they have — card or bank. No app to download, no method they're locked out of.
The deposit is taken at booking, so the slot is held before it lands on your calendar. No money down means no booking — you're never holding a chair on a promise.
The deposit goes straight to your own account. The Hive never holds your money, and there's no middleman between the deposit and you.
Plenty of shops only take one kind of payment, and every time a client can't use it, that's a booking you either chase manually or lose. Offering card or bank closes that gap. The client uses what's in their wallet, the deposit clears at booking, and the slot is locked — so the money is already in your account before the appointment is ever on your calendar. It doesn't matter to your payout whether they tapped a card or sent a transfer.
Card or bank, these don't change. All real features — see them in the demo.
