$79 a month for booking, payments, reminders, forms, and your whole team. The only other cost is the processing fee on each payment — 3.25% + 35¢, card processing included. Both numbers are on this page; nothing else gets added.
Whether you’re one chair or twelve, the price is the price — and you’ll know next month’s bill before it arrives.
* Separately, payments you run through Parlor carry 3.25% + 35¢ — deposits, checkout, tips, and no-show fees alike — card processing included, deducted from each payout. A standalone charge like a no-show fee carries a $1.50 minimum.
One worked example, the same way it will show up in your payout. No extra fees to add up.
Yes, really — on this booking Parlor’s own share is 54¢, and most of that is working money, not margin: it pays for this booking’s reminder, its confirmation email, and the servers that kept the calendar, the booking page, and the receipt running. Text messages in particular cost real money every time one sends — as text reminders come online with carrier registration, the 54¢ is how they stay “included.” We publish the split because “processing included” shouldn’t be a place to hide. And the 3.25% applies once to each dollar the booking collects — a deposit and its balance are two parts of one total, so the percentage never doubles.
Yes. Unlimited team members, unlimited calendars, one studio, $79 a month. Hiring your fourth chair doesn’t change the bill — there is no per-seat or per-calendar pricing.
Everything about taking the payment: card processing is included, so there’s no separate Stripe fee stacked on top. It applies to every payment you process — deposits, checkout, tips, and no-show fees alike — and is deducted from each payout, so you never get a processing invoice. A standalone charge like a no-show fee carries a $1.50 minimum, so a tiny charge still covers its own processing.
No. Parlor’s payment service is opt-in — a cash-only shop, a booth renter, or a studio keeping its existing terminal can run the calendar, booking page, clients, and forms without connecting a processor at all, and setup has an explicit “I’ll take payment in person” step. With no money moving through Parlor there is nothing to deduct, so the 3.25% + 35¢ never applies and your bill is $79. You can also run deposits only, holding bookings with a card and settling the rest at the desk. What opting out costs you is the part that needs a processor: deposits and no-show fees, tap to pay, checkout, and gift-card sales.
Only to take cards at the desk — deposits, payment links, and no-show fees don’t need one. For the desk, you buy a Stripe smart reader straight from Stripe and pair it in Parlor with a code: the BBPOS WisePOS E is $249 and the Stripe Reader S700 or S710 is $299 (Stripe’s prices as of September 2026). The reader is yours outright. There’s no lease, no processing contract tied to it, and a tap costs the same rate as every other payment. Here’s how to buy one and pair it.
No. The 3.25% applies once to each dollar and the flat 35¢ lands once per booking — a deposit and its balance are two parts of one total, charged exactly as if they were a single payment. Your deposit is part of the price, not on top of it: put $40 down and the balance is the remaining $100, never the full ticket twice.
Monthly, cancel anytime from Settings. No phone call, no one trying to talk you out of it. No processing contract, and you don’t owe money on a “free” card reader if you leave.
No — forms and waivers with e-signature are included in the $79, not sold as an add-on.
Honestly: built-in email/SMS marketing isn’t in the product yet. If your studio runs campaigns today, we’d rather tell you now than after you’ve switched. Gift cards, prepaid packages, and client memberships used to sit on this list — all three are now included in the $79.
