What is the Paulux Square Appointments Alternative? Paulux is a purpose-built salon and aesthetic clinic booking system deployed on an independent custom domain, replacing generic retail POS tools like Square Appointments with bowl-by-bowl chemical dispensary tracking, stylist mobile portals, and 0% commission booking.
Square is great for coffee shops, but salons need purpose-built workflows. Upgrade from Square's basic appointment slots to Paulux's backbar chemical dispensary (ml/g), stylist mobile portals, and white-label custom domain booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Paulux charge commissions on new clients?
No. Paulux operates on a 0% booking commission model. Unlike marketplaces that take 20% of your new client revenue, all payments process directly into your Stripe or Paystack merchant account. You keep 100% of every ticket, deposit, and gift card transaction with zero marketplace fees.
Can Paulux run on my own custom domain?
Yes. Every Paulux deployment connects directly to your custom domain (e.g., booking.yourbrand.com) with automated SSL security. Your clients book directly with your brand, eliminating third-party app downloads and preventing competitor salons from advertising on your booking profile.
How does Paulux handle deposit collection and chargebacks?
Paulux includes a native Deposit Enforcer requiring clients to authorize full or partial upfront deposits at checkout. Funds route directly to your merchant gateway with automated 3D Secure fraud protection, minimizing chargeback risks and eliminating no-shows on high-ticket appointment slots.
