Running a tanning studio on BookAppointment
Age verification for UV sessions, add-ons for exfoliation and aftercare, and fast rebooking for regulars. · Updated 30/07/2026
Tanning studios typically run high volumes of short, repeat sessions — a few things are worth setting up specifically.
Age verification for UV sessions
UV tanning is age-restricted. Turn on Requires age verification for sunbed services and choose manual or automated (Stripe Identity) checks — see "Set up age & ID verification".
Add-ons for extras
Use add-ons for exfoliation, barrier cream or extended session upgrades — each with its own price and extra minutes, so the calendar stays accurate without you needing separate services for every combination.
Fast rebooking
Regulars often want the same slot every week — customers with an account can rebook their last service in a couple of taps from their booking history.
Deposits for no-shows
Short sessions mean a no-show is a wasted slot you can't easily fill. Consider deposits for flagged customers (those over your no-show/cancellation threshold) to protect peak times.
