You choose how clients pay

Most shops just want a card on file. Pick one for the shop, and change it any time.

  • Card on fileNo prepay

    Clients save a card to book and pay you at the shop like always. If they cancel late or don't show, your fee is charged to that card.

  • Deposit

    Clients pay part when they book and the rest at their appointment. The deposit comes off the price.

  • Pay in full

    Clients pay the whole price when they book. Nothing to collect at the chair.

See what you and your clients get

Your day, on your phone

Each barber sees their own chair: who's next, check them in, mark it done, rebook them before they leave.

Card on file, no show fees charged for you

Clients see your policy before they book. A no show or late cancel fee goes on their card after a grace period, unless you waive it.

Reviews only real clients can leave

Two hours after each visit, the client gets one link to rate it. Reviews show on your page with each barber's own rating, and you can reply.

Example screens with sample names. Open the live demo shop to try the real thing.

Built for a busy shop

  • Move from Booksy in an evening

    Upload your Booksy export (or any spreadsheet) and your clients, services and upcoming appointments come with you. You check everything before it's saved.

  • Change things by typing

    Tell the assistant "I'm off Friday" or "add a $25 beard trim, 20 minutes". It shows you the change and you confirm it.

  • A free website for your shop

    Your services, hours, photos and a Book button, on a page you can edit from your phone. Add your own domain with Website Pro ($19 a month).

  • Each barber's hours and prices

    Weekly hours per person, split shifts, time off, who does which service, and their own price and time for it.

  • Google Calendar sync

    Busy times block bookings, and bookings land on each person's calendar.

  • Clients reschedule themselves

    From their confirmation email, inside your window. No phone tag.

  • Reminders

    Email reminders go out at the times you set, like the day before and two hours before.

  • Waitlist and rebooking

    When a day fills up, clients join the waitlist and hear the moment a spot opens. Rebook regulars for their next visit before they leave.

  • Packages

    Sell prepaid sessions, like 5 cuts. Clients book them with a code, nothing more to pay.

  • Memberships

    Sell a monthly or yearly plan your regulars join, like unlimited cuts. They're charged automatically and paid straight to you.

Pricing

Free for your shop. No monthly fee, no contract.

What clients pay
A booking fee when they book: $2 or 5%, whichever is greater. It's shown before they confirm, and refunded if you cancel on them.
Card on file bookings
The client pays you at the shop, your usual way. Nothing comes out of it.
Deposits and prepaid bookings
Paid straight to your own Stripe account. Stripe's card fee comes out of your payout.
No show and late cancel fees
You set the fee. When one is charged to a client's card, you keep 85% of it, less Stripe's card fee. You can waive any fee before it's charged.
No client fee (optional)
Want your clients to pay no booking fee at all? $39 a month per chair (each active person on your calendar). Cancel any time.
Memberships
Free to offer. Members pay a 3% fee on top of your price, so you're paid your full price less Stripe's card fee.
Website
A free site for your shop is included. Your own domain and extra pages are Website Pro, $19 a month, if you want them.
