“We built CartaTap because we were tired of seeing service businesses pay a fee every time a client books. No per-booking fees. Own your schedule. No dependency on platforms.”
— The CartaTap team
The real cost
What booking platforms actually cost
Booksy, Fresha, and Square charge per-booking fees on every appointment. At 80+ bookings a month, that adds up fast.
If you do 80 bookings/month:
That's $1,400–$1,800+ per year in platform fees alone.
Direct vs. booking platforms:
| Booksy / Fresha | CartaTap | |
|---|---|---|
| Per-booking fee | $1.50–$3+ | $0 |
| Payment fees | ~3% | ~2.9% (Stripe) |
| Client data | Not yours | Yours |
| Branding | Their layout | Your brand |
| Schedule control | Platform rules | Your rules |

The details
Done for you. Not handed to you.
Your own booking page, built around your business
Your services, your prices, your brand. Clients book directly from your page — no Booksy profile, no marketplace listing.
We set up your calendar — you don't lift a finger
Tell us your services, durations, and hours. We configure everything. You review it. We fix anything. You go live.
Deposits via Stripe, built in
Require a deposit at booking. Reduces no-shows. Money goes straight to your Stripe account — not held by a platform.
SMS reminders, automated
Clients get a text reminder before their appointment. Fewer no-shows, less chasing. We set it up, it runs itself.
No-show protection, your policy
Charge a cancellation fee for late cancellations or no-shows. You set the policy. Stripe enforces it.
Zero per-booking fees, ever
Clients pay through Stripe. Money goes directly to your bank. We charge a flat monthly fee and nothing else.
How it works
Your booking page live in under two weeks.
15-min call
Tell us about your services — what you offer, how long each takes, your hours, and your deposit policy. No pitch. Just questions.
We build your page
We set up your branded booking page, configure your calendar, and connect Stripe. Usually 5–10 days.
We go live together
We walk you through the system, make sure your calendar is right, and give you your booking link.
Clients book direct
They book. Stripe collects the deposit. You get paid. No per-booking fee. Flat monthly, that's it.
You own your clients.
