Saturday · open to close

Five things happen at your shop today. Click through all five.

Every one of them is a spot where a shop loses a client, a deposit, or an hour it never billed for. Below is the same five on Keep The Fees, running on the real dashboard, calendar and waiting room your shop would actually use. Nothing here is a video and nothing is a mockup. Click anywhere you want. No signup, no sales call.

The day sheet

One Saturday, front desk to closing time.

0 of opened

    These are recordings of the live product, captured screen by screen. Client names and numbers are examples.

    The pile on the counter

    That Saturday just took six tools. Or one login.

    Nothing above is exotic. Every shop already does all six. The question is how many places the day is stored in by the time you lock the door, and how much falls through the cracks between them.

    Word of mouth

    Shops talk.

    The scheduling system is a game-changer. No more double bookings, and the automated reminders have cut our no-shows in half.

    I am very pleased with my credit card merchant service. They have been great, and I have no issues contacting them when I have a problem. They get back to me very quickly and have been very reliable.

    About the name

    Two prices on the tag. The shop keeps its number.

    Every sale shows a cash price and a card price, and the card price carries the processing cost. The client picks how they want to pay, and the shop still books the number on the wall. It is called dual pricing, it is on every plan, and it is not an upgrade you have to ask for.

    That is where the name came from. Everything above is why shops stay.

    How zero fee works

    Your shop today

    Custom tattoo, 3 hr$650.00
    Card processing 2.7%−$17.55
    Shop keeps$632.45

    $17.55 left the building

    On Keep The Fees

    Cash price$650.00
    Card price$667.55
    Shop keeps, either way$650.00

    The $17.55 moved to the card price. It never comes out of the shop's number. Rate shown matches the figures published on keepthefees.com; your card price is set with you during onboarding.

    The rest of the wall

    Everything else the shop runs on.

    Built after sitting down with more than 500 working artists and shop managers, feature by feature, for the way a tattoo and piercing shop actually runs. Not a salon system with the word tattoo swapped in.

    01

    Digital forms & signed consents

    Consent, medical history and ID signed on a phone and filed to the client record.

    02

    Commissions and split pay

    Flat splits, tiered rates that step up with sales, or booth rent. Set once per artist.

    03

    Payroll & time clock

    Artist pay runs off the numbers the register already has. Add direct deposit when you're ready.1

    04

    Financing & instant funding

    Card batches and artist payouts can land the same day for qualified accounts.1

    05

    Catalog & inventory

    Needles, pigment, gloves and aftercare counted live, with a low stock alert before Saturday.

    06

    Reporting, by shop or by artist

    Flip between company and artist overview: revenue, cash vs. card, bookings vs. walk-ins.

    07

    Client management

    Session notes, signed forms and full history on one card before they sit down.

    08

    iOS and Android apps

    The whole shop from your phone, whether you are at the counter or in the chair.

    09

    24/7 human support

    Chat, email, text or phone. A person picks up, not a ticket queue.

    The price list

    Priced by headcount, not by feature.

    Every plan runs the same platform. Nothing you clicked through above is an add-on tier. Payroll with direct deposit to artists is the one optional extra.1

    Start here

    Let's put your shop on Keep The Fees.

    Fifteen minutes. Tell us how your shop actually runs, your artists, your services, your calendar, and we will show you exactly how that fits running on Keep The Fees instead of four different apps.

    • 01
      We start with how your shop actually runs. Your artists, your services, your price list, so everything we show maps to your shop, not a canned tour.
    • 02
      We show you exactly where it fits. Messaging, deposits, the walk-in line, whichever one is costing you the most, we pull up that exact screen and walk it through with your numbers.
    • 03
      We tell you straight if it does not fit. Some shops are better off where they are. We will say so, and mean it.

    Already sold? Skip the form, grab a time directly
