You are a professional. Emailing a client an invoice for a call they skipped feels small, so you let it go, again.
Guacamole does the asking. You stay the one they like.
Reminders before every call, and rescheduling clients can do themselves.
The call is secured with a card when booked. Nothing is charged upfront.
Missed without notice? Your fee is charged and paid to your account.
A cancelled slot is offered to clients waiting for an earlier call.
They agree to the policy when they book and get a free way to reschedule. Only people who skip without a word are charged, and the message comes from Guacamole, not you.
A deposit charges every client upfront and adds friction to booking. A card on file charges nobody unless they miss.
It can, and you'd still be switching booking tools. Guacamole also sends the reminders and refills cancelled slots, not just the fee.
Saving a card takes seconds and nothing is charged. Serious clients don't mind; the ones who do are often the ones who no-show.

Booking and Cancellation Policy When you book a call, that time is reserved for you and prepared for in advance. Please give at least [24] hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. • Cancel or reschedule [24]+ hours ahead: no charge. • Late cancellation (under [24] hours) or no-show: $[75]. • If you join more than 15 minutes late, the call ends at the scheduled time. A card is kept on file to secure your booking and is only charged under this policy.
Clients see and accept your policy before the call is confirmed. Every charge has a record.
Calendly's own suggestion is a refundable booking fee. That charges everyone upfront; a card on file only charges people who miss.1
Set different fees and notice windows for discovery calls, paid sessions and long engagements.
Example figures at an average price of $150. Prevented and refilled calls are revenue you keep that would otherwise be lost.
