In their words

I used to lose bookings to back-and-forth DMs. Now I just say 'it's in my bio' and they book themselves. The card hold means no more no-shows, which honestly was the whole problem.

Jess

Grooming · Richmond, VIC

Half my regulars found me through the app, the other half just use my link. Either way I get the request, say yes, and the money turns up the day after the walk. Nothing to chase.

Marcus

Walking & sitting · Brunswick, VIC

I was paying for booking software I barely used. This does the same job for nothing monthly, and clients can actually message me about their dog before they book.
