How it works
- Set up with Solo. Tell Solo what you do — it can find your business on Google and fill in your details.
- Share your link. Put it in your Instagram bio, Google listing, texts and emails, or show the QR code.
- Get booked and paid. Customers choose a time and pay or leave a deposit; you get the booking straight away.
Questions babysitters & nannies ask
- Can babysitters & nannies take a deposit instead of the full price?
- Yes. For each service you choose a deposit or full payment at booking. Customers see what they pay now and what is left before they confirm, and Stripe sends the money to your own account.
- Do my customers need an app or an account?
- No. They open your link, choose a service and a time, and pay with a card or a mobile wallet. They get a confirmation and a link to manage the booking.
- What does SoloPayLink cost?
- Setting up your booking page is free. A small fee applies when you take a payment — the pricing page shows the exact fees for your country.
- How long does setup take?
- About two minutes with Solo: tell it what you do, find your business on Google if you like, check the details, and create your link. Then connect Stripe to get paid.
