Questions from tattoo studios, answered.
How do consults work?
Set up a consultation as its own service. BookDesk answers questions about your process, books the consult with the right artist, and hands the conversation to you when an artist needs to weigh in.
Can I take deposits for custom work?
Yes. Put a deposit on any service, like custom work, and it is paid through Stripe straight to your account. Card on file and no-show fees are there too, and BookDesk takes no cut of the booking.
What if the AI can't answer something?
It hands the conversation to you. Every conversation sits in one inbox, you get flagged when a person is needed, and you can reply yourself at any point.
Can my clients text me?
Yes. Texting is part of your plan: 500 texts a month are included, plus 200 for each extra bookable unit. You register your business with the carriers to get your own texting number, and it goes live once they approve it. Until then BookDesk answers website chat, plus Messenger once you connect your Facebook Page, and sends email confirmations and reminders.
How much does it cost? Is there a contract?
Building and previewing your site is free, with no credit card. Your first month is free, with everything included and up to 100 texts. A card is needed before texting turns on. After that the plan is $19 a month at launch pricing, with every feature, plus $5 a month for each extra bookable unit.
