Common Questions
Do Marketplaces Charge for My Existing Clients?
None of the four pages we read charges again for return visits. Booksy and StyleSeat describe their fee as optional, Mindbody says it charges only when its app delivers a client you would not otherwise have had, and Fresha says returning clients never carry a fee.
Is the Fee Worth Paying?
If a new client returns several times, one fee on the first visit can be cheap marketing. If most marketplace clients book once at a discount, the fee can take most of the profit from that visit. Track how many come back.
Are Card Fees Included?
No. Standard card processing applies to the payment on top of the new-client fee.
