Coming soon — optional add-ons
One platform for salons, barbershops and spas: memberships now, operations next.
You do not have to run your membership program in one system and the rest of your business in another forever. These four modules are being built on top of the same member record, so a member's plan, pricing and history follow them into every booking.
Calendar & appointments
Chair-by-chair scheduling with member priority booking, deposits, and no-show and cancellation rules.
Classes & group scheduling
Group and recurring service blocks — memberships that include a standing monthly visit, booked automatically.
Staff & services
Stylist and provider profiles, service menus, durations and availability, with member pricing applied at booking.
Gift cards
Sell and redeem gift cards online, and convert gift card recipients into recurring members instead of one-time guests.
These modules are in development and will be optional paid add-ons on top of the membership platform — pricing on request. Your membership plan, enrollment, recurring billing and reporting are live today.
Switching from Squire
Keep Squire for the work it already does well. We import your member roster, plans and renewal dates so billing continues without a gap, and run both side by side until the last renewal clears.
Built for your vertical
Add-on ladders and per-staff pricing scale with headcount, not success
Suites price by location, by staff seat or by tier, then add marketing, apps and automation as paid rungs — and the bill rises whether or not membership revenue does. BoomCloud is $197/mo + $4.50 per active member (Basic) or $397 + $3.50 (Pro), published, with the per-member portion designed to be built into membership dues so the plan funds its own capacity and support. Keep the suite. Add the engine.
One question to ask Squire
“Who is asking each client to join the club, and how often?”
Questions
- Do I need to leave Squire?
- Not today — keep it for shop operations and run memberships in BoomCloud. Scheduling, classes, staff and gift cards are in development as optional paid BoomCloud add-ons, so you can consolidate onto one platform when you are ready.
Switching from Squire
Bring your plan over with renewal dates and members intact.
We import your roster, map your tiers, keep every member on their current billing cycle and run both systems in parallel until the last renewal clears. 30-day free trial, no setup fee, month to month — and if you ever leave, every member leaves with you.
