Booking
How to book a deal
Find a deal
Open Sponti. Your location is used to show deals nearby. Browse the list or map. Filter by category, distance, or deal type.
Check the details
Tap a deal to see the business, the offer, the end time, and how many slots remain. If it looks good and the timing works — book it.
Confirm and pay
Tap "Book". Payment is handled securely by Stripe. You'll see a confirmation immediately. No account linking. No checkout drama.
Show up and redeem
Show your booking confirmation to the business when you arrive. That's your proof of purchase. Most businesses just need to see the screen.
ℹ️ Note
Deal types
Types of deals you'll see
Different businesses post different kinds of deals. Here's what each type means:
The business has capacity right now and you can show up without a specific time slot. Perfect for restaurants with open tables or studios with open mat space.
Redemption: Show up during the deal window and present your booking.
A specific time slot at a salon, spa, therapist, or personal service. You book a particular hour, not just a vague window.
Redemption: Arrive at your booked time and present your confirmation.
A reserved spot at an event, fitness class, workshop, or experience. The event has a specific start time and limited seats.
Redemption: Show your booking at the door or scan the confirmation if required.
Surplus food, baked goods, or grab-and-go items that need to be collected within a window. Common with bakeries and cafés near closing time.
Redemption: Collect within the pickup window. Nothing to redeem — just show up and collect.
A hotel room or short stay available for tonight or an upcoming date. Last-minute pricing on a specific room type.
Redemption: Check in as normal with your booking confirmation as your reservation reference.
Trust & safety
How trust works on Sponti
Here's how Sponti protects you as a customer:
Stripe handles all payments
Your payment details are never seen by Sponti or the business. Stripe processes the transaction and stores your card details securely.
Businesses are verified
Businesses on Sponti go through a verification process including Stripe identity checks before they can accept paid bookings.
Real deal windows
Deal end times are genuine. When a deal says it ends at 7pm, it ends at 7pm. There is no extension gimmick.
Fixed availability
Businesses set how many bookings they accept. When slots are filled, the deal closes. You cannot be overbooked.
