01

Book the right nail service

Set separate services and durations for a gel manicure, new set, refill or removal. Share your booking link from your social profile so clients can request the service and time.

For example Review a refill request and allow enough time for the design before confirming the visit.

02

Remember the details

Keep customer inspiration photos and selected files in Gallery, with private staff notes separate.

For example Open the last set before discussing the refill.

03

Give repeat visits a clear place

Sell a manicure package, track redemptions and book appointments separately.

For example Four visits purchased, one redeemed, three left to use.

From the next nail appointment to checkout

A refill, a new set and a repeat visit each need the right details. KadePay connects the appointment request, client record and payment without turning them into separate conversations.

A booking link for a solo nail tech

Share a calendar link in your social profile or send it to a returning client. Set up the services, provider, duration and available hours first. The client requests a time; you review and confirm it before the visit.

Client preferences and consent before the set

Keep private staff notes and inspiration photos with the customer, and share an intake or consent form when needed. Clients sign in and complete their own forms and signatures on their phones.

QR checkout and manicure packages

Display your Pay Direct QR for the client to enter the agreed total, or use compatible-phone Tap to Pay after payment setup. If you sell a manicure package, track the remaining visits and record each redemption; schedule each appointment separately.

FROM THE FIRST SET TO THE NEXT REFILL

Make the client record useful at the nail station.

A new set, an infill and a removal need different appointment time and different context. Keep the requested service clear, find the chosen inspiration before you begin, and make payment a step you can verify before resetting the station.

  1. Let the client request the right service

    Set separate services and durations for the visits you offer. A booking link lets the client request a new set, refill or removal; your team reviews and confirms the appointment.

  2. Prepare photos and forms

    Organize reference images in the customer Gallery and record private service preferences in staff notes. If you use an intake or consent form, the client signs in and completes it on their own phone.

  3. Close out the visit clearly

    Create the agreed bill or offer Pay Direct QR at the station. A client can pay from their phone; staff check the transaction result. External Venmo or Zelle transfers are verified and recorded separately.

ILLUSTRATIVE WORKED EXAMPLE

Example: a refill with a saved reference photo

An illustrative visit for a fictional returning client who wants the same shape with a new design.

  1. Review the refill request

    The client requests your refill service. Check the time needed for the design and any additional service before you confirm the slot.

  2. Open the client context

    Look at the selected reference photo and private notes about shape or finish. Ask the client to complete any form your business requires rather than completing a signature for them.

  3. Send the final bill

    Create the agreed service charge after confirming any design additions. Let the client use the bill link or another enabled payment option, then verify the transaction.

  4. Record the next step

    Save the new preference for the next refill. If this visit uses a prepaid manicure package, verify the purchase/payment details and record its redemption; book the next appointment separately.

Fictional service example. Staff notes, customer Gallery sharing, bill attachments and package redemptions are separate actions.

CLEAR ANSWERS

A few things
worth knowing.

Which plan works for an independent nail tech?

The single-user Pay-As-You-Go plan is $0 per month and includes 60 appointment bookings per month. Additional bookings are $0.15 each. Team is $10 per month with multiple users and 60 included bookings; Pro is $35 per month with multiple users and 150 included bookings. Payment processing and applicable usage fees are separate.

How do nail salon appointments work with a booking link?

Set the services, provider, duration and available hours, then share the link. A client requests a service and time. You review the tentative request before confirming the appointment; the request itself does not create a bill or take payment.

Can I use KadePay as a booking app for an independent nail technician?

Yes. Share an appointment link for your configured services and availability. Clients request a time and you review and confirm it. Compare the plans if your salon needs multiple users.

Can a nail salon take card payments without buying a separate reader?

Compatible iPhone and Android phones can use Tap to Pay in the KadePay app after eligible payment setup. You can also share a payment link or Pay Direct QR. Processing and usage fees still apply.

Can clients sign consent on their own phone?

Yes. Send a form link; clients sign in and complete their own signed answers.

Can Kady help set up the package?

Describe the package in the authenticated editor. Review the draft, price, fee details and booking instructions before saving.

Should a refill and a new set share one booking service?

Use separate services when they require different durations or preparation. This makes the client request more useful for your review. Confirm any design additions and the required time before accepting the appointment.

Can a client send an inspiration photo without seeing my staff notes?

Customer Gallery folder permissions and private notes are separate. Give the client the appropriate folder access if you want them to upload a reference image; keep your internal service notes in the private staff area.

What if a client sends the refill payment by Zelle?

Check the actual transfer and confirm the client and agreed amount before recording it in KadePay. Zelle and Venmo transfers happen outside KadePay; recording one does not move the money or verify it automatically.
