Online booking for massage therapists
Clients book a remedial, relaxation or pregnancy massage from their phone and tell you about injuries, pressure and health-fund claims before they're on the table. A deposit on couples and spa packages, and reminders that go out on their own.
No monthly fee · Card, bank or cash · Works with your website · $20 launch credit
What a massage therapist needs from online booking
Health and pressure, before the table
Every booking asks about health conditions, injuries, pregnancy and oil allergies, the pressure they like, where to focus, and whether they're claiming a health-fund rebate on remedial.
A deposit on the long and double bookings
Couples massage and the spa package hold a 25% deposit on the client's card when they book, charged when you confirm, into your own Stripe account. Everything else is paid at the visit.
Mobile too
Travelling to clients? Pick Mobile massage instead: massage bookings at the client's address, with a question about parking and stairs, and prices that carry the travel.
A massage booking page, with your treatments already on it
Pick Massage & day spa at sign-up and these services, prices and booking questions are pre-filled. Change anything, or let AI draft them for you.
One remedial booking, start to finish
He books on Sunday night
From the link on your Google listing or the Book now button on your website, he picks Remedial massage (60 min), Tuesday at 6 pm. He writes that his lower back has been bad since the move, asks for firm pressure, and says he'll claim on his health fund.
You confirm with one tap
The booking arrives as a request with everything he wrote. Confirm it between clients and he gets the confirmation; the room is blocked on your calendar.
The reminder, and the inbox
A free email reminder goes out the day before. If he asks whether to eat beforehand, the message sits with his booking, not in your personal phone.
Tuesday: paid at the desk
$120 by card, bank transfer or cash. Record it and the invoice goes out on its own, a GST tax invoice if you're registered. He rebooks the same slot in a minute next time.
You do the work.
We'll handle the money.
Take a card deposit when they book — through your own Stripe account, so the money lands with you, never with us. Settle the rest by card, bank transfer or cash and the invoice goes out on its own — a GST tax invoice if you’re registered. No monthly fee: 1.5% on card payments, 50¢ when you record a cash or bank payment.
Questions massage therapists ask us
Can clients tell me about injuries before they arrive?
Yes. The Massage & day spa setup asks about health conditions, injuries, pregnancy and allergies to oils at booking, plus pressure preference and areas to focus on. The answers are kept with the booking and shown only to your team.
Can I take a deposit?
Yes. Couples massage and the spa package hold a 25% deposit on the client's card when they book, charged when you confirm. Set any percentage on any service; card payments go through your own Stripe account.
Do I have to confirm every booking?
Treatments paid at the visit arrive as requests, and you confirm each with one tap, so nobody books over your lunch break without you seeing it. Switch a service to full payment at booking and it confirms itself once Stripe is connected.
I'm a mobile therapist. Does it work for me?
Yes. Pick Mobile massage at sign-up instead: relaxation, remedial, deep tissue and pregnancy massage at the client's address, with a question about parking and stairs, since you carry a table.
What about health-fund rebates?
The booking asks whether the client is claiming a rebate on remedial massage, so you know before the session. GoBookka sends the invoice when you record the payment; the claim itself goes through the client's fund as it does now.
How much does it cost a massage therapist?
There is no monthly fee. GoBookka charges 1.5% on card payments and 50c when you record a cash or bank transfer payment, and every new business gets $20 of launch credit at signup.
