Thank you for sharing your experience and for being part of the StyleSeat community for the past 12 years. We truly appreciate your long-time support and value your feedback regarding the client booking experience and platform fees. StyleSeat currently charges clients a $2.35 booking fee for each appointment as part of its platform-wide policy. This fee is separate from the professional subscription and helps support booking features, platform enhancements, and tools designed to encourage appointment commitment and help reduce no-shows. If a client cancels outside of the cancellation or no-show window, the booking fee is automatically refunded. Your monthly subscription continues to include features such as scheduling, payment processing, appointment reminders, and no-show protection. While the client booking fee cannot be removed or adjusted by professionals, we understand how important transparency is for both you and your clients, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective. We’d appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your experience so that we can assist further. Please reach out to us at [email protected] with “App Review” in the subject line so we can connect and assist you further.

We understand how important it is for Pros to receive secure and reliable payments for the services they provide. StyleSeat automatically retries declined payments several times and notifies clients to update their card or add funds. If the payment is updated successfully, the charge is processed and the Pro is paid. If the issue is not resolved, Pros may need to arrange payment directly with the client or block them from booking future appointments. We also understand your concerns regarding platform fees, and we appreciate you sharing this feedback as we continue working to improve the experience for Pros.

We understand how important reliable payments and transparent policies are to your business. Clients can dispute charges at any time through their bank, and banks may allow disputes for a variety of reasons, even when the claim is inaccurate or unfounded. When a chargeback is opened, the disputed funds and a nonrefundable $20 fee are automatically withdrawn as part of the bank’s process, which StyleSeat is required to follow. If you choose to contest the dispute and the bank rules in your favor, the full disputed amount will be returned to you. The bank review process is determined by the client’s bank and typically takes 10–14 weeks. We appreciate you sharing your feedback, and a member of our team will reach out directly to assist further and discuss your concerns in more detail.

Thank you for being part of StyleSeat for over 10 years and for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We truly appreciate your loyalty and the perspective you’ve gained from growing alongside the platform. We’re glad to hear you’ve found value in the platform setup, marketing opportunities, community, and recognition programs like the StyleSeat Awards. At the same time, we understand your concerns around payment flexibility and client attribution. For payment flexibility, you can opt out of Growth Features such as Touchless Payments, Deposits, Prepayment, Smart Pricing, Premium Appointments, and New Client Connection within your Payments & Policies settings. Once those are turned off, you can switch your default checkout setting to Manual, which allows you to accept cash or use an external payment processor during checkout. Please note that appointments already booked with Growth Features enabled will still process through automatic checkout unless rescheduled. Cash checkout is also available on the Premium plan. We also understand your concerns regarding how new clients are attributed to StyleSeat, especially when you are actively marketing your own booking link and building your clientele independently. Your feedback is important, and we’ll make sure it’s shared with the appropriate team. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us. A member of our team will also be reaching out directly to assist further and discuss your concerns in more detail.
