Beauta booking policy settings — payment options, staff selection, cancellation notice, and reschedule rules

Payments

Online payments, in-salon payments, or both.

Set up payment flows that match the way your salon operates.

  • Pay in salon

    Customers book ahead and pay when they arrive. Great for regular clients or walk-in focused salons.

  • Online payments

    Customers pay online when booking to help reduce no-shows and secure appointments for high-value services.

  • Default

    Flexible combinations

    Use different payment setups for different services. For example, longer appointments may require payment upfront while shorter services can be paid later.

Staff selection

Let customers choose, or let the salon decide.

Every salon works differently — Beauta supports both customer-selected staff and automatic staff assignment.

  • Customer chooses

    Customers can choose their preferred stylist or therapist during booking.

  • Auto-assign

    Beauta automatically assigns staff based on availability and scheduling.

  • Default

    Use both

    Customers can choose if they want to, otherwise Beauta automatically assigns a suitable staff member.

Cancellations & rescheduling

Set notice periods your way.

Configure how much notice customers need to give before cancelling or rescheduling appointments.

  • Different cancellation notice periods per service (24h, 48h...)
  • Separate reschedule notice rules
  • Mark late cancellations and no-shows in customer history
  • Track repeat no-show customers
  • Block selected customers from booking online if needed
