No-show protection
Take full payment at booking or hold a card with request-to-book and capture it only when you accept. Add cancellation and reschedule policies that keep no-shows from costing you.
Require payment before a slot is confirmed, or take a deposit to hold the time, so the people on your calendar have real skin in the game. With request-to-book you go a step further: the client requests a time, the card is authorized, and you capture it only when you accept. Decline and the hold is voided so no money moves. On processors that cannot place a true hold, such as Razorpay in India, the client is charged on request and refunded in full if you decline.
Pick a refund policy per booking type: flexible, moderate, strict, non-refundable or custom. Moderate keeps reschedules free until 24 hours out and charges a share after that; strict holds to 48 hours and charges the full price inside that window. A reschedule-fee engine adds a base fee plus a tiered ladder, always capped at what the client paid. When you cancel or reject, the client is always refunded in full.

Note that CalenQ does not auto-charge a no-show fee on its own; no-show terms are shown to clients as part of your cancellation policy.
