Bontro never takes a cut of your bookings, payments, or tips. The only thing deducted is Stripe's standard payment processing — and it goes to Stripe, not us.
Zero commission on bookings, payments, and tips — on every plan, forever. We make money on subscriptions only, never a slice of your sales.
Payments go directly to your own Stripe account via Stripe Connect. Bontro never holds your money and never sits between you and your payout.
You pay Stripe's standard rate — the same you'd pay using Stripe anywhere. Bontro adds nothing on top.
When a client pays by card, Stripe charges a standard processing fee. This is Stripe's fee, deducted by Stripe — Bontro takes nothing from it.
Available now — when a client pays on your booking page or you charge a saved card.
Accept contactless cards and phones right on your iPhone — no extra hardware. Coming in a future app update; the rate shown is Stripe's standard in-person rate.
Processing rates are set by Stripe and may change. Other Stripe fees can apply in less common cases — e.g. international cards (+1.5%), currency conversion (+1%), and disputes ($15 per chargeback). Bontro does not add to any of these.
A $50 service paid online:
Illustrative. Your exact keep depends on the payment method and Stripe's current rates. The Bontro line is always $0.
A simple monthly subscription is the whole business model — no per-booking cut, no surprise add-ons for texting or forms.
