Questions We Get All The Time

What happens if it rains?

One tap activates your rain plan. Instantly reschedule all bookings and send SMS notifications to everyone. 60 seconds instead of 6 hours of manual texting.

How do I handle no-shows?

Mark them as no-show in the app. Your waitlist is automatically notified, and the first person to pay gets the slot. Zero manual work.

How do payments work?

Clients pay when they book via Square. Funds deposited in your bank account (typically next business day). You can require full payment or just a deposit. Completely hands-off.

Can clients reschedule themselves?

Yes! They get a secure link to pick a new slot (up to 24 hours before). Old slot automatically goes to waitlist.

What are the payment processing fees?

Square's standard processing fees (2.9% + 30¢ per transaction) plus a 3% MiniShoots platform fee. With add-ons boosting revenue 30-50%, most photographers earn significantly more than they pay in fees.

Is there a contract?

Nope. Cancel anytime. We earn your business every month.

Why Square instead of other payment processors?

Square is built for service businesses like photography. It's trusted by millions of small businesses, has transparent pricing, and many photographers already use Square for their full sessions. MiniShoots integrates naturally with your existing setup.
