KADEPAY FOR MASSAGE THERAPISTS
Your hands are your income, and an empty 90-minute slot costs you twice: the fee and the energy you saved for it. KadePay takes booking requests, collects intake and your cancellation policy before anyone is on the table, and handles payment, tips and packages in a few taps afterward.
Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 per month. Usage and payment fees apply.
Sound familiar?
Ask LMTs in any forum and the same frustrations come up: no-shows, requests lost in DMs, tips handled awkwardly, and packages tracked on paper cards. Here is how KadePay handles each one.
I turned down two people for that Saturday slot. She never showed, never texted, and I had already warmed the table and set up the room.
With KadePay
Have each new client sign your cancellation policy and authorize a card on file before the first massage. If they no-show, charge the fee your signed policy describes and they receive a receipt for it.
Card on fileSomeone asks on Instagram, someone else texts, a regular leaves a voicemail, and I am the only one keeping track of who wanted which time.
With KadePay
Share one booking link with Swedish, deep tissue, prenatal and hot stone sessions at their real lengths. Clients request a time, you confirm the ones that fit your week, and automatic reminders follow.
Appointment bookingAfter an hour of quiet, nobody wants to stand at a card reader choosing 18 or 20 percent. Half my clients forget, then apologize at the next visit.
With KadePay
Send a flexible-amount link after the session so the client adds a tip in private, or keep a printed QR in the room where they enter the agreed total. Either way, nobody hovers at checkout.
Payment links and QR codesRegulars buy five massages at a discount, I write it on an index card, and six months later neither of us trusts the count.
With KadePay
Sell massage packages of five or ten sessions in one payment and record each redemption. Clients see what is left on your branded business page, and each visit is still requested through your link.
Packages and sessionsFor in-home sessions and office chair massage I am hauling a table and a stool, and there is never a good way to take a card on site.
With KadePay
Set a different location for each appointment, then take payment on the spot with Tap to Pay on a compatible phone after payment setup. At events, a QR code taped to the chair lets guests pay without a reader.
Tap to Pay and card readersHow it fits your week
A new client finds you through your website or Instagram, picks a 60- or 90-minute session and requests a time. You confirm it from your phone between appointments.
Before the visit they fill in your massage intake form, including pressure preferences and areas to avoid, sign your cancellation policy and authorize a card on file.
When the session ends, charge the authorized card or send a link with room for a tip. The client gets dressed, picks up their water and heads out.
Add a private note like prefers unscented oil and a warmer table, so the next session starts right. The client never sees it.
Offer a monthly massage membership on Team or Pro, or a five-session package, so regulars come back on a schedule that keeps your book steady.
Every way your clients pay
Availability depends on your account setup and eligibility. You confirm Venmo and Zelle payments after checking they arrived.
Built in
Each tool writes to the same client record, from the first booking request to the receipt.
KadePay for massage therapists
A massage therapist payment app has to work in a quiet room with oily hands. That rules out long checkout screens and favors things that happen before or after the session: a card on file authorized at intake, a link sent while the client is dressing, or Tap to Pay on your phone.
No-shows hurt massage therapists more than most because a 90-minute slot is also physical energy you planned around. A massage no-show fee works when it is written into a signed policy and backed by a card the client authorized, with reminders going out beforehand.
Repeat business is the heart of a massage practice. Massage packages, a membership billed monthly on Team or Pro, and massage gift cards around the holidays give regulars a reason to come back. Mobile massage payments fit too, since each appointment can carry its own address, from a client's living room to a hotel suite.
If you also want to accept credit cards as a massage therapist at a chair massage event or a wellness fair, a printed QR code lets each guest pay the agreed amount from their own phone while you stay at the chair.
CLEAR ANSWERS
The one that fills your table and protects it. KadePay takes booking requests by service and length, collects a signed intake form and policy, keeps an authorized card on file for no-shows, and handles packages, memberships, gift cards and tips.
Write the fee into a cancellation policy the client signs with your intake form and ask them to authorize a card on file. When a no-show happens, you charge the fee your signed policy describes and the client receives a receipt.
Send a flexible-amount payment link so the client enters the service price plus whatever tip they choose, or have them scan your Store Pay Direct QR and enter the total. Both work on the client's phone, without a reader.
Yes. Each appointment can carry its own location, and Tap to Pay on a compatible iPhone or Android phone takes cards and wallets once payment setup is complete. Card readers are also available to purchase if you prefer one.
No. KadePay handles payments, booking requests, forms, packages and business notes for massage practices, not clinical records or insurance claims. If you document treatment for medical or injury referrals, keep that charting in a dedicated system and use KadePay for the business side.
Working solo, you can start on Pay-As-You-Go for $0 per month, with payment and usage fees on what you process. Team is $10 per month and Pro is $35 per month for memberships, expiring links and adding other therapists. The pricing page has the full comparison.
