Payments & fast payouts
Keptbookings processes payments through Stripe at a transparent flat rate, with fast next-day payouts, no surprise holds, and Tap to Pay for in-person checkout. You take deposits, prepayments, and final payment in one place — and Keptbookings never takes a commission.
- Stripe under the hood — no proprietary processor lock-in.
- Transparent flat processing rate, no keyed/online surcharge tiers.
- Next-day payouts where available; no surprise rolling reserves.
- In-person Tap to Pay and day-of checkout on supported devices.
Get Paid Fast, Keep What You Earn
Payments should be the easiest part of your day, not a source of anxiety about when — or whether — the money will actually arrive. Keptbookings runs on Stripe with fast next-day payouts and no arbitrary holds, so your earnings move to your bank quickly and predictably. You can plan around your cash flow instead of guessing.
Just as important: Keptbookings takes zero commission on anything. You pay one flat monthly subscription and a transparent Stripe processing fee, and that’s it. Compare that to marketplace tools skimming 20–30% per booking — over a year, keeping your full revenue is the difference between getting by and getting ahead.
- Stripe-powered with a transparent flat processing rate
- Fast next-day payouts, no surprise holds on your money
- Tap to Pay for quick in-person checkout
- Zero commission — ever — on top of your flat plan
No Held Funds, No Nasty Surprises
Ask around and you’ll hear the horror stories: balances frozen for "review," payouts delayed for days, funds held by all-in-one tools right when rent is due. Keptbookings is built to avoid that. With Stripe handling the rails and no marketplace sitting on your money, your payouts arrive fast and your balance is your balance.
There are no padded exchange rates, no mystery deductions, and no add-on fees creeping onto your bill. The flat processing rate is the rate. That transparency is the whole point — you should never need a spreadsheet to figure out what a platform actually charged you.
One Flow From Deposit to Final Payment
Keptbookings ties payments to your bookings so the whole money journey is seamless. A client leaves a deposit when they book, the appointment happens, and you collect the balance — in person with Tap to Pay or charged to the card on file. Everything ties back to the client’s record automatically.
Because deposits, prepayments, and final charges all live in one system, you’re never reconciling across three apps or chasing what someone still owes. It’s clean for you and professional for the client, with every transaction traceable through Stripe.
Tap to Pay and In-Person Checkout
Not every payment happens online, so Keptbookings supports Tap to Pay for fast in-person checkout — take a contactless card or phone right at the chair without extra hardware to lug around. It’s ideal for walk-ins, tips, and add-on services decided in the moment.
Whether the money comes in online at booking or in person at checkout, it all lands in the same place with the same fast payouts and the same flat rate. One system, one fee structure, no juggling.
