Answers for tattoo artists

Clear answers to the questions artists ask before moving bookings and payments into InkSchedule.

How do fees work in InkSchedule?

There is a $10 booking fee applied to appointments. If a payment is processed digitally through the app, a 3% digital fee is also applied at checkout. This helps support the platform and keep the fee breakdown clear for artists and clients.

What happens when I turn on "Send deposit email now" during appointment creation?

Your client immediately gets an email with a secure pay-now link for their deposit. If you leave it off, no automatic deposit payment email is sent.

What fees will clients see at checkout?

Clients see the fee breakdown before payment. A $10 booking fee can apply to the appointment, and a 3% digital fee is added when the payment is processed digitally through the app.

Do I get paid to my own Stripe account?

Yes. Once you connect Stripe, your available balance and transfer actions are tied to your connected account, and you can move funds to your bank.

What if I have not connected Stripe yet?

Your funds are still tracked, but payout actions stay limited until you connect Stripe. As soon as you connect, transfers become available.

Can I still track refunds and fees clearly?

Yes. You can see refund and payout activity impact in your financial records so you always know what changed and why.

Can I message clients and keep everything in one place?

Yes. You can handle conversations, appointment updates, and reminders inside InkSchedule instead of bouncing across tools.
