Running a tanning studio on BookAppointment

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.
