A brand-fit URL on day one. Your own domain when you're ready.
Sign up and pick from a list of vertical-branded subdomains made for your industry. Connect a domain you own when you're ready. No upgrade tier for either, no extra fee.
The vertical-branded subdomains you can pick at sign-up
You choose a namespace (your shop slug) and pair it with a parent domain that fits your industry. That becomes your URL on day one — no domain registration required.
- yourshop.atelier.salon — for hair salons
- yourshop.atelier.spa — for spas, med spas, day spas
- yourshop.atelier.tattoo — for tattoo studios
- yourshop.atelier.dance — for dance studios
- yourshop.atelier.fitness — for personal trainers, fitness studios
- yourshop.atelier.golf — for golf instructors and clubs
- yourshop.atelier.skin — for estheticians and skincare
- yourshop.atelier.dog / .pet — for groomers and pet pros
- yourshop.seated.studio — for music teachers, lessons, anything else
Why a vertical-branded subdomain matters
A new customer sees yourshop.atelier.salon in a search result and immediately knows what kind of business they're looking at. Compare that to some-generic-saas.com/listings/yourshop, where the SaaS brand reads first and yours reads second. Vertical-fit subdomains feel professional from the first click — and they cost you nothing extra.
Connect a domain you own, any time, no upgrade fee
When you're ready — whether that's day one or day 365 — point a domain you own at Atelier with a single DNS record. We provision the security certificate, set up email from your domain, and route everything through. The booking page, the confirmation emails, the customer-facing URLs all switch over together. No upgrade plan to unlock it. Most other platforms charge extra for "use your own domain"; we don't.
If you don't own a domain yet
You can register one through any domain registrar (Namecheap, Cloudflare, Google Domains, GoDaddy, etc.) for around $10–$15 a year and connect it to Atelier in a few clicks. We can walk you through it; or stay on the vertical-branded subdomain indefinitely — there's no deadline, no nag, no upcharge.
Why this matters when you eventually leave
If your URL is yourshop.com (a domain you own), every backlink, bookmark, and bit of search authority you've built belongs to you. If you ever decide to switch platforms, your customers still find you at the same URL. On a vertical-branded subdomain, the URL stays with us — but your customer data, your booking history, your reviews, your content all export cleanly. The only thing tied to the platform is the URL itself, and connecting your own domain solves that whenever you choose to.
One platform underneath, your brand on top
Whichever URL you're on — vertical-branded subdomain or your own domain — your booking experience is fully your brand. Your colours, your logo, your copy, your photos. There's no "powered by" footer, no shared customer base with the business next door, no marketplace listing your competitors beside you.
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.
- Every feature in the box. Forms, text marketing, loyalty, multi-location, staff profiles, blog, two-way calendar sync, no-show protection, waitlists, resource scheduling — included on day one. Most platforms charge separate monthly add-on fees for each, or lock them behind a higher-tier plan.
- Unlimited everything. Locations, staff, services, customers. Same bill with five team members as with fifty.
- A free directory listing. Every tenant 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.
