How long is my free trial?
During the Covid-19 pandemic we want to eliminate any additional financial burden so the SSSM software is free. During this time you can test the system to ensure that it makes operating your salon, spa or studio (& virtual studio) easier.
Why do I provide my credit card details upfront, when will I get charged?
You will only get charged after your free trial ends. If you do not wish to continue using the system, just send us an email at hello@spaninja.co to let us know and we will be sad, but we will turn off Spa Ninja (DEV) immediately at no charge to you.
How can I cancel my free trial?
If you do not wish to continue using the system, just send us an email at hello@spaninja.co to let us know and we will be sad, but we will turn it off for you at no cost.
Can I customise the system for my business?
Absolutely, you have 100% flexibility. You input the online class schedule, the treatments, the trainers, the therapists, the descriptions, the images, everything. We are there to help, to ensure you maximise the potential of the system.
Can I use it to generate regular performance and revenue reports?
Again, absolutely. There are a myriad of pre-set reports covering the volume of treatments, the type of treatments, revenue generated, staff productivity, bookings volume, etc. If we have missed a report, we are happy to talk about customised reporting, just contact us at hello@spaninja.co for more details.
What is cloud-based software?
Cloud-based software refers to application-based software infrastructure that stores data on remote servers, not on your desktop, laptop or mobile. The booking form, widget or Yosiwa app enables a user to access data stored in the cloud using an internet browser or a cloud computing software.
Can I use your online booking button on my website?
YES!!! It is very easy to embed a Spa Ninja (DEV) or Classes by Spa Ninja (DEV) booking button on your website or Google business page. You can also work with us to create a brand-new website.
Can I use your online booking button on my Facebook page?
YES again!! It is simple to embed a Spa Ninja (DEV) or Classes by Spa Ninja (DEV) booking button on your socials such as Facebook, Instagram etc to start taking real-time bookings, 24/7.
What does it cost to use the online booking button?
There is absolutely NO commission paid on bookings made by your staff through telephone or email OR for online classes provided free of charge.
Commission is only paid on bookings made through Yosiwa and through booking button reservations IF you are also generating revenue. Send us an email at hello@spaninja.co to arrange a demo and to discuss commission amounts.
What or who is Yosiwa?
Yosiwa is your online wellness assistant, the front-end (app and web) for the Spa Ninja (DEV) SSSMS. It is an interface through which consumers can book treatments or online classes: https://www.yosiwa.co/
Do booking button customers pay in advance?
No payments are taken in advance. Reservations made through Yosiwa & the Spa Ninja (DEV) or Classes by Spa Ninja (DEV) booking buttons take credit card details to safeguard you against no-shows or late cancellations. In addition, you customise the cancellation policy and you trigger all payments for no-shows.
Spa, Salon & Studio: You charge the customer as per your usual practice.
Virtual Studio (Online Classes): The customer triggers the payment when they “Join” the class. In this instance, we will remit the amount to you.
Send us an email at hello@spaninja.co to arrange a demo and to discuss commission amounts.
Is the software easy to use?
We believe that the Spa Ninja (DEV) software is very easy to use and entirely customisable, your descriptions, your photos. Send us an email at hello@spaninja.co to arrange a demo and see for yourself.
Is my data and my customer’s data safe?
Yes. Spa Ninja (DEV) software uses firewall and encryption technology to prevent unauthorised third-party access to our computer systems storing your account and guest information.
Where are credit card details stored?
