Where your bookings come from

You only pay for the client you didn’t already have

Every booking you generate yourself costs nothing beyond the plan. The marketplace is the one place a fee applies — once, on a brand-new client’s first visit.

Before you decide

Frequently asked questions

Who counts as a user?

Nobody — there’s no such thing as a user fee at Salonist. Add every stylist, therapist, receptionist and manager to any plan at no extra cost.

Do you take a commission on my bookings?

Only in one case. If a brand-new client discovers you through the Salonist marketplace, we charge 15% of that first visit, once. Every booking after that — and everything booked through your own link, website, Instagram or Google profile — is yours. Card processing fees are separate and go to your payment provider.

What add-ons does Salonist offer?

Digital Wallet Cards, the AI Receptionist and WhatsApp AI Agent (priced by volume), and a branded client app for plans below Expert. Hardware such as card readers and barcode printers is sold separately.

Are there contracts, setup fees or hidden fees?

No. There’s no setup fee, no contract and no minimum term. You can cancel any time by email.

What happens after the 7-day trial?

Nothing is charged automatically — there’s no card on file. Pick a plan when you’re ready, or stay on the free Marketplace plan and keep your data.

Can I transfer data from my old system?

Yes. Bring clients, services, staff, products and appointment history. Standard import is included from Essential; Advance and Expert include advanced import and a one-on-one setup session.

Are text, WhatsApp or email reminders extra?

Email reminders are unlimited from Essential. WhatsApp and SMS notifications are unlimited from Advance. Campaigns sent through a third-party gateway (Twilio, Interakt, AiSensy and so on) are billed by that provider.

Can I use my own card processor?

Yes. Connect Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Tap, Tabby, Tamara, Ziina, Network Payments, Clover, Pine Labs or Authorize.net and keep your existing rates.

Do you support booth renters and hybrid models?

Yes. Each renter gets their own booking link and payment account under one Salonist account, with client ownership settings and their own retail sales.

Which currencies and languages do you support?

Prices are shown in your local billing currency. The software runs in 13 languages including Arabic (right-to-left), French, Spanish, Portuguese, Thai and Indonesian.

Can I change plans later?

Upgrade or downgrade whenever your business changes. Upgrades take effect immediately and you’re only billed the difference.
