Intégration Stripe
pour Tattoo Studios
Connect Stripe with SchedulingKit for tattoo studios. Accept payments when clients book optimized for tattoo studios scheduling needs.
Stripe + Planification Tattoo Studios
Tattoo studios manage sessions that range from a 30-minute flash piece to a multi-day back piece, each requiring different deposit structures and scheduling rules. Integrations with SchedulingKit coordinate artist schedules, automate deposit collection, and send aftercare instructions timed to each client's healing stage.
In beauty and wellness, deposits serve a dual purpose: they protect your revenue from no-shows and they cover the upfront product costs that make high-end services possible. A client who no-shows a balayage appointment costs you not just the time slot but also the color product mixed and allocated for their appointment.
The payment integration lets you require deposits selectively by service type. Basic haircuts might be deposit-free to keep booking friction low, while color services, extensions, and bridal packages require a deposit that reflects the product and preparation investment. Clients see the deposit amount clearly when booking and pay through a secure, professional checkout flow.
Beyond deposits, the integration supports prepaid package sales—sell 10-visit punch cards, monthly memberships, or seasonal bundles—and tracks remaining sessions automatically. This creates predictable revenue, increases client commitment, and reduces the per-visit transactional friction that can discourage rebooking. Gift certificate sales add another revenue stream, especially during holiday seasons.
For tattoo studios professionals specifically, SchedulingKit's Stripe integration addresses a common pain point: the disconnect between booking and payments workflows. Rather than toggling between tools, your tattoo studios team gets a unified experience where every appointment automatically flows into Stripe—saving time you can reinvest in serving clients.
Tattoo studios depend on non-refundable deposits to cover custom artwork preparation time. The payment integration collects design deposits at consultation booking and tattoo session deposits at scheduling—protecting the artist's creative investment and the studio's most limited resource: weekend appointment slots.

Questions fréquentes
Are design deposits non-refundable if a client cancels the tattoo?
You control the refund policy per appointment type. Configure design consultation deposits as non-refundable to cover your artwork preparation time. The booking confirmation clearly displays the non-refundable terms before the client completes payment.
Can hourly-rate and flat-rate tattoos use different pricing structures?
Yes. Create separate event types—"Custom Piece (Hourly)" with time-based pricing and "Flash Tattoo (Flat Rate)" with fixed pricing. Each has its own deposit structure and checkout flow tailored to the pricing model.
Can I require deposits for some services but not others?
Yes. Configure deposit requirements per service type. A basic haircut might be deposit-free to encourage bookings, while a 3-hour balayage appointment requires a $50 deposit to cover product costs and protect against no-shows.
How do tips work through the booking payment flow?
Depending on your payment processor, you can enable a tipping option at checkout. Clients add a gratuity when they pay for their service. Tips are deposited into your connected payment account alongside the service payment.
Can I sell prepaid package deals—like 10 blowouts for the price of 8?
Yes. Create package offerings with your preferred pricing and session count. When clients purchase a package, SchedulingKit tracks remaining sessions. Clients redeem sessions when they book, and the system deducts from their package balance.
What about gift certificates?
You can sell gift certificates through your payment integration. Recipients receive a code they enter at booking to apply the gift certificate balance toward their service. Remaining balances carry forward for future bookings.
Can I set up recurring subscription payments through Stripe?
Yes. Stripe's subscription billing lets you create recurring payment plans for memberships, retainer agreements, and ongoing services. Clients are charged automatically on their billing cycle, and failed payments trigger configurable retry logic and dunning emails.
How does Stripe protect against fraudulent payments?
Stripe Radar uses machine learning trained on billions of transactions to detect and block fraudulent payments automatically. It runs on every transaction at no additional cost. You can also set custom rules—for example, blocking transactions from specific countries or requiring 3D Secure for charges above a certain amount.
What tattoo studios-specific configuration should I set up in Stripe?
Collect a non-refundable design deposit that covers the custom artwork time, converting to a credit toward the final tattoo session payment. This is the most impactful setting for tattoo studios professionals—configure it during initial setup and revisit it quarterly as your tattoo studios workflow evolves.
Will the Stripe integration scale as my tattoo studios business grows?
Yes. The Stripe integration handles increasing booking volume without any configuration changes. Whether you're running a solo tattoo studios practice or managing a multi-location team, the integration scales with your SchedulingKit plan. There are no per-booking limits on the Stripe connection—growth in your tattoo studios business means growth in integration value, not additional integration cost.
Is the Stripe integration included in my SchedulingKit plan?
Yes. The Stripe integration is available on all SchedulingKit plans, including the free tier. You may have separate costs from Stripe itself depending on your usage level and the features you need from their platform.
