Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still use Talo if I don't want to accept payments?

Yes, absolutely! You can use our platform without processing payments through our system. While our payment solution provides added benefits like upfront deposits and no-show protection, it’s entirely optional. You can still manage bookings, calendars, and other features without enabling payments.

Do you charge any booking fees?

No, we don’t charge booking fees for each booking. Plus, you get unlimited bookings at no extra cost. You won’t be charged for clients who book through your website, Google, or social media, whether online or offline. However, if a new client finds your business through our Marketplace, a one-time fee applies. Returning clients won't incur any further charges.

Are there costs for marketing campaigns or SMS reminders?

We provide free automated emails and text messages for new bookings, appointment reminders, cancellations, and reschedulings. Additionally, we offer powerful tools to create engaging marketing campaigns with a free email and SMS allowance to start. After this allowance is used, additional credits are billed as outlined in the Communications section of our pricing page.
