For clients
Your consultant asked for your card.
Here's exactly what happens.
Nothing is charged at booking. Stripe verifies the card is real — that's the only step. Your money stays in your account.
Secured by Stripe · PCI DSS Level 1What actually happens
Three steps. Zero charges.
You enter card details on a Stripe form
The payment form is hosted and encrypted by Stripe — the same infrastructure used by Amazon, Google, and Shopify. Intent never touches your card data.
Stripe verifies the card is real
Stripe runs a quick check to confirm the card exists and is valid. Zero funds are captured or held. This is a SetupIntent — not a charge.
Booking confirmed. Nothing else happens.
Your card stays on file only if a no-show fee was agreed upon at booking and clearly disclosed. For most bookings — nothing will ever be charged.

B2B discovery calls end in a no-show
Why consultants use this
A discovery call costs them hours. Card verification makes sure you both show up.
Before every call, a consultant researches your company, prepares questions, and blocks time in their calendar. When a prospect doesn't show — that's preparation wasted and a paying client they could have spoken to instead.
Card verification isn't about money. It's a commitment signal. The moment someone enters their card — even with $0 charged — they're telling you they're serious. That alone cuts no-show rates by 60–70%.
Common questions
Honest answers.
Will I be charged right now?
No. Absolutely nothing is charged at booking. The card check is purely a commitment signal — Stripe confirms the card is real, zero money moves.
Who handles my card data?
Stripe — not Intent. Intent never sees your full card number, CVV, or billing address. Stripe is PCI DSS Level 1 certified, the highest security standard in the payments industry.
Is this a subscription or recurring charge?
No. It is a one-time verification. There are no recurring charges, no membership fees, and no automatic billing of any kind from Intent.
What if I need to cancel the call?
Contact the consultant or agency directly. Your card is not charged for cancellations unless a no-show fee was explicitly agreed upon and disclosed to you before you booked.
Why does my consultant need this?
1 in 3 B2B discovery calls ends in a no-show. Each one represents hours of preparation — research, brief, blocked calendar time. Card verification filters out low-intent bookings so serious clients get more attention.
For agencies
