How Studios Use This

Real-world applications that drive results

Large Custom Pieces

Back pieces, sleeves, and other major work become accessible. Clients pay a portion upfront and the rest over time, aligned with their session schedule.

Session-Based Plans

Charge before each session automatically. Client's card on file is charged the day before their appointment - if payment fails, the session is paused.

Subscription Financing

For ongoing work like sleeve projects, set up monthly payments that continue until the project total is reached.

Why Studios Love Payment Installments

  • Close more large-project bookings
  • Predictable cash flow from payment plans
  • Compete with studios offering financing
  • Reduce booking abandonment
  • Build client loyalty with flexibility
  • Automatic payment collection
“Designed to split large projects into 2-12 scheduled payments — charges run automatically against the card on file, and failed payments pause future sessions instead of turning into chased invoices.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Payment Installments

Do I receive full payment upfront?

You can choose! Either collect payments as they come in from clients, or use our partner financing to receive the full amount upfront while clients pay over time (subject to approval and fees).

What happens if a client misses a payment?

The system automatically retries failed payments and notifies both you and the client. You can set rules for how many retries before pausing future sessions.

Can I charge interest on installment plans?

Yes! You can offer 0% interest as a perk, or set a custom APR if you prefer. All terms are clearly disclosed to clients before they agree to the plan.

Is there a minimum project value for installments?

The default minimum is $500 to make installments worthwhile, but you can adjust this in your settings — a typical range is $300-$1,000.
