Other platforms take 10% of every deposit. We don't touch your revenue. Flat monthly pricing for commission tracking, tattoo supply inventory, payroll, and deposits — built by a shop owner, not a payment processor.
Not booking software with commission bolted on. Every feature designed for the realities of running a tattoo studio.
Different commission rates for walk-ins vs appointments — because that's how tattoo shops work. Log a service in 10 seconds, commission auto-calculated.
End-of-week payroll generated instantly. Cash collected, card payments, tip breakdowns, commission per artist — all reconciled automatically. No Saturday night spreadsheet sessions.
Track gloves, needles, ink, cups, barrier film — the supplies that actually matter. Low-stock alerts before you run out mid-session. No salon product catalogs.
Every deposit tracked from paid to applied to refunded. Stripe integration for online payments. No more sticky notes or forgotten Venmo requests.
New deposit hits? Your artist gets a push notification. Running low on large gloves? You'll know before your next client sits down. No group texts needed.
Artists see their own services, commissions, and deposits. Owners see the full shop. No artist can see another artist's numbers. Clean separation, zero drama.
We're operations software. They're booking platforms with fees. Here's the real difference.

Venue charges 10% on every deposit and payment. We charge a flat monthly fee. Your revenue stays yours.
I absolutely love this app but taking $10 away from each client adds up really quick! On average I'm booking 30 people per month... that's $300 a month! I would much rather pay a flat rate monthly. It's just not sustainable anymore.

We listened. $39/month flat. Zero transaction fees. Ever.

I own a tattoo shop in Durham. Every "shop management" tool I tried was built for hair salons or spas, then marketed to tattoo shops as an afterthought. None of them understood walk-in splits, cash tracking, or why I need to know how many boxes of gloves I have left.
So I built Twin Suns OS. We use it every day — every service logged, every deposit tracked, every payroll generated. Now I'm sharing it with every shop that's tired of software that wasn't built for them.
Straight answers. No sales speak.
Venue is a booking platform that charges 10% on every deposit and payment your clients make. We're operations software — commissions, payroll, inventory, deposit tracking — for a flat monthly fee. We never take a cut of your revenue. Most shops use us alongside their booking tool, not instead of it.
No. Zero percent. Your revenue is your revenue. We charge $39, $99, or $249 per month depending on your shop size, and that's it. No per-transaction fees, no booking fees, no hidden charges, no surprises on your bill.
You can keep using them for booking and client communication. Twin Suns OS handles the back-office operations they don't — walk-in vs appointment commission splits, one-tap payroll, tattoo supply inventory with low-stock alerts, and cash + card + tip breakdowns per artist. Most shops run us alongside their existing tools.
About 15 minutes. Add your shop, invite your artists, set their commission rates for walk-ins and appointments, and you're logging your first service. No training manuals, no onboarding videos. If your artists can use Instagram, they can use this.
Yes. Month-to-month, cancel from your account settings whenever you want. No cancellation fees, no phone calls, no guilt trips. If it's not working for your shop, you can leave with one click.
No contracts. Ever. Every plan is month-to-month. We'd rather earn your business every month than lock you into a commitment. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial — no credit card required to start.
We accept all major credit and debit cards through Stripe. Your payment info is handled securely by Stripe — we never store your card details on our servers.
Yes. We use Supabase (built on PostgreSQL) with row-level security. Your shop's data is completely isolated from every other shop. All connections are encrypted. Artists can only see their own numbers — they can never see another artist's commissions, services, or deposits.
14-day free trial. No credit card. No setup fees. No contracts. Just a better way to run your shop.
