Salon software & booking system for Australia

Blyssbook costs Starter A$16, Professional A$31 and Enterprise A$72 a month for the whole salon, not per staff member. These are fixed reference prices in Australian dollars; every plan is billed in US dollars by Paddle.com, our Merchant of Record ($11, $21 and $49 a month), so your bank applies its own exchange rate. Paying yearly costs ten months' price. There is no booking commission, and every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.

It replaces the appointment book, the DM back-and-forth and the end-of-day sums. Clients book online 24/7 on your own salon website, every booking lands on one calendar with a column per stylist, and an automatic reminder goes out before the visit. After the service you bill in Australian dollars at the till, with GST if you charge it, print a receipt, and the visit is saved to the client's record. At day end you see sales by payment method.

The best one is the one that fits how your salon works, so compare a few facts: how the price is counted, fees on new clients, how clients pay and how reminders go out. Blyssbook charges one price per salon, from A$16 a month, takes 0% commission on bookings, records your card terminal, cash and PayID at the till, sends automatic reminders and gives every salon its own booking website. You can test all of it in a 7-day free trial without a card.

Yes, as a record at the till. Keep your terminal (Tyro, Square, your bank's EFTPOS or any other), take the card on it as usual and tap Card in Blyssbook, so the sale, the tip and the stock are recorded. Add PayID or bank transfer as your own payment methods, and the day-end till close shows the total for each. Blyssbook is not connected to any terminal and does not offer Afterpay or Zip: the client pays you directly and Blyssbook keeps the record.

Yes, on the Professional and Enterprise plans. Connect your own Stripe account (Stripe is available in Australia), turn on online deposits in your booking policy, and choose a fixed amount, a percentage or the full price, for everyone or only for new clients. The slot is held while the client pays by card on the booking page, and released if they don't. Starter does not include online deposits. If Stripe isn't connected, clients simply book without paying.

Every booking gets an automatic reminder before the visit, 2 to 48 hours ahead as you choose, so fewer clients forget. Reminder emails are on every plan; automatic WhatsApp reminders are on Professional and Enterprise. Text (SMS) reminders can be sent through your own Twilio or Telnyx account. Professional and Enterprise can also ask for a card deposit when clients book online. Reports show your no-show rate, so you can see whether it is going down.

Yes, through your own Twilio or Telnyx account, which you connect in Settings. Texts only go out between 8 am and 9 pm salon time, and you can edit the message. Blyssbook's own text bundles are for US numbers only, so in Australia you bring your own SMS account. Email reminders work on every plan without any setup, and WhatsApp reminders come with Professional and Enterprise.

Yes, on every plan. Set commission rules, and Blyssbook adds them up from every bill, with tips and monthly payroll. Every plan also has staff schedules and staff logins, and each staff member sees only what their role allows.

On the Professional and Enterprise plans, yes. You connect your salon's number through Meta's official WhatsApp Business Platform, and the AI replies with your prices, offers free slots from your calendar and books the appointment. On Starter, WhatsApp chats come into the Blyssbook inbox and you reply yourself. Instagram and Facebook Messenger chats arrive in the same inbox.

No. You pay one price for your salon and keep the full price of every booking, whether the client is new or a regular. There are no fees on new clients.

Blyssbook is one price for the whole salon: A$16 a month for Starter with up to 5 staff. Fresha's Team plan is priced per team member, and Fresha sells its Smart Website as a paid add-on, while a booking website is on every Blyssbook plan (plan structure from fresha.com/pricing, 5 November 2026). You can import your client list from a Fresha CSV export.

Yes, if you charge GST. Switch tax on in the invoice settings, set the rate (10% in Australia), call it GST and add your ABN or tax number. The till adds GST on top of the service price, and receipts and invoices show the GST line and your number. If you don't charge GST, leave it off. Blyssbook is not tax or BAS software and does not lodge anything with the ATO, so ask your accountant what applies to you.

Yes. Starter covers up to 5 staff at one price, so a solo hairdresser, nail tech or barber pays the same as a small team. Each plan includes a set number of staff: up to 5 on Starter, up to 15 on Professional and unlimited on Enterprise.

Yes, anywhere in Australia, from Perth to Hobart. Blyssbook runs online, shows prices in dollars, takes Australian phone numbers, and your booking website works on any mobile without an app.

Yes, on the computers you choose. Turn on offline mode in Settings and the calendar and till keep working when the internet drops: take bookings and sales, and everything is sent to your salon when you are back online. Online booking, WhatsApp and reminders still need a connection.

Yes, on every plan. Pick a design (6 on every plan, 8 premium ones on Professional and up), add your logo, colours and photos, and your services, prices, team and reviews show up from Blyssbook. Clients book online 24/7. It lives on your free Blyssbook link, or on your own domain on the Professional and Enterprise plans.

Yes. The Blyssbook app is on Google Play for Android. Blyssbook also runs in any browser on a laptop, tablet or iPhone, with nothing to install.

No. Start your 7-day free trial without a card, add your services and staff, and take real bookings before you decide.
