Frequently asked questions
What does CHAIR cost?
A monthly subscription: £12.99/month per bookable professional, or £7.99/month per user on Team, minimum 2 users, whether they are employed staff or independent chair and booth renters, all on one bill. Every feature is included on both plans. CHAIR adds no booking commission or Stripe fee markup. Processing and other actual Stripe account, payout and dispute costs are separate, as explained in the agreement in Payments.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. 14 days with full access to every feature, with no card required. You only add a payment method if you choose to subscribe to a paid plan.
Do you take commission on my bookings?
No. CHAIR charges a flat subscription and adds no booking commission or Stripe fee markup. Payments settle in your own connected account. Processing and other actual Stripe costs are separate; the agreement in Payments explains itemised recovery and credits.
How do I switch from Booksy, Fresha, or another platform?
Use the provider-specific guide to prepare the exports your platform makes available, then submit a migration request. CHAIR reviews compatible client, service, and future-appointment fields for free and confirms the next step and expected timing. Keep files containing client data private until support confirms that an approved transfer route is available.
Do my clients need to download an app?
No. Clients book from your booking page in any web browser: they tap your link, choose a service and time, and they're booked. There's nothing for them to download.
What happens after my trial ends?
Paid features pause until you choose a plan: Professional at £12.99/month per pro, or Team at £7.99/month per user on Team, minimum 2 users. You are not charged unless you subscribe. If you subscribe during the trial, any remaining trial days carry over before your first payment.
Ready to grow your business?
Set up CHAIR, keep control of your business records, and never pay CHAIR commission on your work. Applicable Stripe costs are separate, with no CHAIR markup.
