Spam protection that doesn't annoy real customers
Bots try to flood every public booking page on the internet. We block them — without making your customers solve traffic-light puzzles to make an appointment.
Why this matters
If you've ever woken up to fifty fake bookings in your queue, you know why. Bots scrape the web for anything with a "submit" button and try to abuse it — for spam, for testing stolen credit cards, for fun. A booking site without spam protection is an open door.
Invisible to almost every real customer
Our default protection (Cloudflare Turnstile) doesn't make customers click on bicycles or stairs. Most real visitors see a one-second "verifying" badge and are through it before they notice. Only suspicious traffic gets shown a puzzle. It's free at the volumes a small business ever sees.
Wherever it makes sense
Spam protection guards the booking form, customer sign-up and log-in, contact forms, and coupon redemption. You can turn it on or off per form depending on how aggressive you want to be.
Four things every Atelier tenant gets, on day one
- A brand-fit URL. Pick a vertical-branded subdomain on day one (yourshop.atelier.salon, .tattoo, .spa, .dance, .fitness, .golf, .dog, .pet, .skin, or seated.studio). Connect a domain you own any time — no upgrade tier.
- Pick a plan, not a parts list. Forms, staff profiles, two-way calendar sync, no-show protection, waitlists, resource scheduling, multi-location support, reviews and in-person card payments — all in the plan, including the free one. Gift cards, packages and text reminders come with every paid plan. That leaves two clearly-priced extras (the Marketing Suite and the AI assistant), and Website Pro folds the first of those in too.
- Flat as your team grows. Unlimited staff, services, and customers — the same bill with five team members as with fifty, on every plan. Additional locations are a flat $25/month each, with your full plan at each.
- A free directory listing. Every paid plan (Booking Pro and up) is auto-listed in the public Atelier directory. New customers find you there and click straight through to your booking URL — no commission, no per-booking fee, no marketplace cut.
