Is Booksy safe and reliable for business owners?

Booksy uses end-to-end encryption and holds full PCI-DSS compliance to keep your client data, financial details, and business records completely secure. Payments are powered by Stripe — a global leader in payment processing — ensuring fast, safe payouts to your UK bank account. With 99.9% platform uptime, over 330,000 beauty and barber pros worldwide trust Booksy to power their daily operations.

What is the Booksy Marketplace and how does it find clients?

When you join Booksy, your business profile is automatically listed on the Booksy Marketplace at zero extra cost — allowing nearby clients to discover and book your services 24/7.

  • Optimised for Local UK Search & AI — Your dedicated booking profile is built with high-ranking SEO metadata, location tags, and structured review data. When potential clients search for terms like "barber near me" or "nail salon in [City]", your profile is structured to rank right at the top.
  • Seamless Social & Search Booking — Turn profile views into confirmed appointments with instant 'Book Now' integrations across Google, Instagram, and Facebook.
  • Build Trust Automatically — Show off your work with an automated portfolio featuring verified client reviews and treatment photos collected after every appointment.
  • 0% Marketplace Commissions — Standard marketplace bookings carry zero commission fees, with optional access to Booksy Boost when you want to accelerate client acquisition.

How does Booksy manage staff schedules and commissions?

Booksy lets you build staff schedules, manage shifts, and track time off in one place. Commissions and tips are calculated automatically with every checkout, so payroll math is done for you. Each staff member gets their own login, and you control exactly what they can access with individual permission level settings.

How do integrated payments and deposit features work?

Booksy Payments is built into your calendar — checkout and bookings live in the same app. Accept payments via Tap to Pay on your phone, the Booksy Card Reader, or card-on-file for online transactions. With low, transparent fees, Booky’s payment processing is powered by Stripe, so payments are secure for you and your clients. Customise your cancellation policies by requiring a deposit at the time of booking, or collecting a card-on-file to automatically charge cancellation fees if the client cancels late or no-shows. Payouts hit your bank account the next business day for free, or in 30 minutes with Fast Payouts.

How does Booksy protect salons from no-shows?

Booksy sends free automatic SMS appointment reminders before every appointment, reducing the likelihood of a no-show. You can also require deposits during booking, or save a card on file to charge a cancellation fee if a client cancels late or doesn't show. When a cancellation does happen, Booksy’s automated waitlist can help automatically fill that gap with another booking, or use Booksy’s marketing tools to announce that a spot opened up.

What built-in marketing and loyalty features are included?

Every Booksy subscription includes text and email marketing, automated rebooking reminders, flash sale and last-minute discount promotions, social media marketing post creator, digital loyalty stamp cards, packages, digital gift cards, and automatic review requests after every appointment. All marketing features are included in your monthly subscription — no add-on fees.

Does the platform include inventory tracking and business reports?

Yes, Booksy provides comprehensive back-of-house operational support. Our smart inventory tracking management system allows you to log your retail and back-bar products, automatically updating stock counts with every checkout and sending low-stock alerts when it's time to reorder. This connects directly with our robust financial reporting dashboard, which instantly generates daily sales analytics, profit margin assessments, staff performance summaries, and tax-ready documentation to put you in complete control of your business data.

How does Booksy compare to traditional scheduling apps?

Booksy was built specifically for beauty and barber professionals — not adapted from a generic scheduling tool. Every subscription includes all features: booking, payments, marketing, client management, and reporting. Plus, the Booksy Marketplace puts your business in front of clients actively searching for services near them. One monthly price, no feature paywalls.
