Is sending a reminders (via email or text) with an option to cancel or reschedule doesn't work?
Also, why wouldn't users use Stripe integration for the same? https://calendly.com/integration/stripe

Luckly, the business had a good word of mouth referrals. I focused on good customer service with almost instant response time and constantly building new features based on customer's feedback. I was able to sustain it. I did rewrite the code but not until it passed $10K MRR and hired a developer overseas. Later I sold a portion of the equity to a friend and recovered my initial investment. I still own majority of the business.
Lately, I've seen some marketplace valuing businesses based on revenue.... I always, always calculate based on NET and see how long it will take to recoup your initial investment. I purchased my first SaaS at 3.25x on net. For me after factoring growth and churn, if I get my initial investment back in 3-5 years, I'll consider buying it. The world of technology is changing rapidly. Anything more than 5 years ROI is too long.
You are entering very competitive space. You might get push back on your pricing.
I like Stripe and I use Stripe for my business. What I don't like about Stripe is they stepping on toes of their customers. Stripe starts with API service and later they introduce their product competing with early adopters. A good example is Stripe Billing [0]. Additionally, they position their products top on their partners page, therefore making it "popular". I wouldn't be surprised to see Stripe launching their own virtual bank product.

I think it an interesting idea. How many active users do you have?
Following is something I want to do for my business website but don't have time for it.
Using node (API) and firebase database capture new signup name, IP and IP to Geo and store it in Firebase. Eg { name:'john Smith', ip:'127.0.0.1', Latitude:123.1233, Longitude:123.123, Country:'USA', City:'Los Angeles', State:'California', Date: epoch }
Next create a js file to include in any page which would get data (from nodejs API) sorted by latest first and show new signup as notification pop-up one by one.
Good luck!
Also, I asked them to revert the transaction and charge the right card or else I (on behalf of my client) will have to file a dispute.
Their response was, I cannot file dispute because that is against their terms and conditions. If I do, then they will terminate my account. Additionally, the option to add multiple cards is for backup. In case if first card doesn't work they can charge the second card.
To use different cards for different clients, I will have to create a separate "team" even though only one person is managing all the projects.
At the end they said, create a new "team" and talk to the freelancer if he is OK to cancel the order and resubmit it from the new "team". The freelancer was hesitant but he agreed. Since all my instructions/messages were in default "team" account, I continued and decided to cancel it at the end of the project. At the end, the freelancer didn't feel comfortable therefore he refused to cancel the job and I ended up paying him from wrong client's card.
I ended up having one client write a check to pay the other.
What a mess....
