Start your own booking and payments app for salons and barbers, under your own brand
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Salons and barbers lose no-shows, chase deposits and pay a cut of every booking to apps that show their own brand first. The big banks and money apps are built for everyone, which means they're built for no one in particular. A booking and payments app made for salons and barbers can be simpler, fairer and more trusted, because it carries a name people already know.
Why salons and barbers deserve their own money app
A booking and payments app with your salon's name on it takes deposits, card payments and tips, with the fee set by you.
Trust is the hardest thing for a new money brand to earn. A group that already knows you gives you that on day one.
How it works, in a few clicks
Pick the template closest to your idea, type your platform name and preview every page before you pay.
- Pick a template: an account app, a transfer app, payment links, a marketplace or a membership platform.
- Name it and choose your colours. The site changes as you type.
- Preview the finished platform, page by page.
- Verify with a selfie and pay your invoice.
- Go live on your own domain within 24 hours and invite your first users.
You set the fees, you keep them
Charge a small fee on each payment, a monthly membership or nothing at all. Every penny of the fee you set goes to you, and your users sign up with you, not with us.
Permissions: the honest part
The accounts, cards and payments behind your platform are powered by licensed partners. Depending on what your platform does and where your users live, you may also need your own registration. We tell you in writing which permissions apply to your platform before you pay, and introduce specialists who handle them. We are not licensed advisers and don't guarantee outcomes.

Build my platform →Questions people ask
Do I need to be a tech company?
No. You pick a template, name it and preview it. There's no code to write.
Can I call it a bank?
In most countries "bank" is a protected word you can only use with a banking licence. Call it an account, an app or a platform. Your users still get a balance and a way to pay.

See the country guides for the markets we cover, and the big names you'd be competing with in each.
