Payments
Your client is only ever asked for the invoice.
Nothing is added at checkout, on any rail, so no artist ever queries a line you did not put there. Card and bank payments run on your own Stripe account, so Stripe’s standard rate comes out of your payout — the same as any card reader — and StudioSide takes nothing on top. Collect the money yourself and it never touches us at all.
Card
2.9% + 30¢
Stripe’s standard rate, out of your payout — StudioSide adds nothing to it and never sees the money. Every invoice gets a Pay button, your client is asked for the invoice and nothing more, the money lands in your bank in about two business days, and the invoice marks itself paid.
Bank transfer
0.8%, capped at $5
Stripe’s standard rate again, and it is capped — so however big the invoice, collecting it by bank transfer never costs more than $5.
Collect it yourself
No fee
Put your Zelle, bank, or cash details on the invoice and take the money however you like. No processing fee, no cut — mark it paid when it lands.
Questions
The honest stuff.
Why flat pricing and not per-seat or per-room?
Studios staff fluidly — engineers come and go, a runner today is an engineer next month, freelancers log in for one session. Charging per seat makes you hide the system from people who should be using it. Charging per room punishes you for growing capacity. One flat price per studio means you bring everyone in, run as many rooms as fit, and you always know what next month costs.
Is there more than one plan?
No — one plan, one price: $149 a month, or $1,490 for a year. What works today: booking and the calendar, the live floor, clients, gear, invoices and getting paid, the staff rota and the pay week, unlimited rooms and seats and sessions.
Can I pay for a year?
Yes. A year costs ten months — $1,490 instead of twelve payments of $149 — so 2 months are free. It is paid up front and renews each year until you cancel; if you cancel, your plan runs to the end of the year you paid for.
What happens when I add a room?
Nothing changes on your bill. Rooms are unlimited — add or remove them as your studio evolves, no upgrade flow, no surprise invoice.
Is there a free trial?
No free trial — StudioSide is paid from day one. We’re in private beta and onboarding studios in small batches, so it starts with a quick access request. Once you’re in, setup is self-serve — add your rooms and rates and you can be sending invoices the same day. No call, no setup fee.
Do I have to use Stripe?
No. Stripe is there if you want clients to pay by card or bank transfer in one tap — payouts land in your bank in a couple of days and the invoice marks itself paid. Setting it up, your payouts, refunds and any chargeback all happen on screens inside the app, with no Stripe login to make; the one place Stripe asks you to sign in is your own bank details, because that screen shows your account number. Prefer to keep it simple? Put your own details (Zelle, bank, cash) on the invoice, collect directly, and mark it paid — no processing fee at all, and you keep every dollar.
Do you take a cut of the payments I collect?
No. Card and bank payments run on your own Stripe account, so Stripe takes its standard rate out of your payout — the same rate as any card reader — and StudioSide takes none of it. Money you collect yourself never touches us at all. We do not take a percentage of your rates, your bookings or your seats, and your client is never charged anything on top of the invoice — we make our money on your plan, not on your takings.
Does a card fee get added to what my client pays?
No. Your client is asked for the invoice and nothing else, whichever way they pay — the pay page shows the same figure on both buttons. Adding a card fee to a client's bill is a surcharge, and a surcharge cannot legally be applied to a debit card, so we do not do it to anybody. Stripe's own rate comes out of your payout instead, which is how card payments work everywhere.
What if we have multiple locations?
Each studio has its own plan, at the same price. One login runs them all — you switch between studios from your avatar — and you start the new studio’s plan when you add it.
What happens to my data if I leave?
You own it. Export it yourself anytime, in one click. If you cancel your plan, it stays put so you can take it with you or come back to it. When you want it gone, close the account in Settings: its data is deleted after 30 days, and signing in within those 30 days restores it. To delete everything at once, contact support.
