How can Calday help your business thrive?
Retainer paid before you pack your bag
The retainer is part of the booking flow - not a separate step, not a follow-up DM. Clients see the amount, confirm your cancellation policy, and pay. That's it.
- Required before the shoot confirms
- Non-refundable retainer option
- Card payment, no extra setup
Your policy enforces itself
Write your cancellation terms once. Clients read them as part of booking, then confirm before the slot is theirs. If they cancel late, the policy applies - automatically.
- Custom policy shown at checkout
- Client confirms before date locks
- No awkward after-the-fact texts
Manage everything between shoots
Calendar, intake notes, retainer status, rescheduling - it's all on your phone. Between sessions, on location, in the car. You don't need a desk for this.
- Full calendar on iOS and Android
- Client notes before every session
- Reschedule without calling
Ready in 5 minutes. Free on the core plan.
- No credit card required
