Follow the money

One $100 deposit. Three ways to cover fees.

Free means no monthly subscription. Transaction costs still apply. Your fee-payer setting determines what gets added to the client’s checkout and what comes out of your deposit.

Illustrations on Free in USD, using its 9.9% LVL2 booking fee and a US domestic online card processing model of 2.9% + $0.30. This is not a live checkout quote.

Amounts are rounded to the cent. Client-paid processing is grossed up because the processor also charges on the added fees. With split fees, processing shares can differ by a few cents. The deposit is advance payment toward the tattoo, not extra revenue.

Pro’s 0% LVL2 booking fee does not remove processing fees. Under the same card assumptions, an artist-paid $100 Pro deposit leaves $96.80 before other costs.

These examples exclude subscription charges, taxes, tips, discounts, currency conversion, international-card surcharges, refunds, disputes and optional payout charges. They show estimated deposit proceeds, not bank arrival or take-home profit. Actual costs depend on the payment method, region and account terms; check the checkout breakdown and provider terms.

A practical cost check

Is booking software worth it for your shop?

Estimate monthly value as time value plus contribution from additional completed appointments, minus incremental artist-paid costs. Time saved has value only if you can use it; it is not automatically cash earned. A lower client-paid booking fee is not an artist cash saving. A deposit applied to an appointment is advance payment, not additional appointment revenue.

Monthly net value = hours saved × value per hour + additional appointment contribution − additional artist-paid costs

Illustrations in USD per month. These are assumptions, not measured LVL2 results. Scroll the table to see every cost and outcome.

The paid examples assume moving from Free to Plus at its displayed monthly USD subscription, no other incremental costs, and one additional appointment contributing $60 after its variable costs in the first example. Replace those assumptions with your own evidence. Include setup time, payment processing you bear, optional payouts, taxes and other incremental costs before deciding. If a cost is unknown, the result is incomplete. No reduction in no-shows or increase in earnings is guaranteed.

The plan table above separates subscription cost, deposit booking fees and merch profit share. A merch profit share is not a percentage of the gross sale price. Check the order’s production, shipping, tax and payment deductions before estimating what you keep. Read the deposit and payout guide for the difference between a client payment, available funds, and a payout arriving at your bank.
