# Require Credit Card for Booking

> Learn how to require customers to provide credit card details when booking, even if they choose to pay in-store. Reduce no-shows and secure appointments with this feature.

## Introduction

Requiring a credit card at booking helps secure appointments, reduce last-minute cancellations, and ensure a commitment to service. Even if a client chooses to pay in-store, their credit card will be stored for security purposes. Additionally, businesses can allow customers to proceed with their booking even if their credit card can't be validated by enabling the "Allow Cash Payment" option.
