Modern scheduling and client management for independent service businesses. Flat monthly pricing. No mandatory prepayments. No transaction fees on your services. Designed for shops that want control over how they get paid.
Prerequisites:
The dominant booking platforms now require upfront card charges and take a percentage of every transaction processed through their systems.
For independent shops that operate with flexible payment models — cash, card, digital wallets, or pay-on-completion — these platforms no longer fit.
Paid Up was built to fill that gap.
Everything you need to manage bookings, clients, and your calendar — without giving up control of how you collect payment.
Configure payment methods per shop or per service. Accept cash, card, or digital payment at the time of service — no upfront charge required.
One predictable monthly fee per location. No transaction percentages. No hidden processing markups. The money your clients pay is yours.
Multi-provider scheduling, walk-in management, recurring clients, and no-show protection — all designed around the realities of a working shop floor.
SMS and email confirmations plus pre-appointment reminders reduce no-shows significantly — without forcing clients to enter card details.
Post-appointment prompts drive verified reviews to your Google Business profile and build the reputation that matters to your shop's growth.
Coming from another platform? White-glove onboarding helps you transition your client list, schedule, and service menu without losing momentum.
A side-by-side look at where independent shops gain control with Paid Up.
I've owned and operated two barbershops for years. When the platform we relied on removed our ability to control how we collected payment, the choice was to accept it or build something better. We chose to build.
Paid Up is rolling out to a limited group of independent shops in 2026. Founding members receive priority onboarding, locked-in pricing, and direct input on the product roadmap.
