Your PayFast account.
Your money. Every cent.
Most platforms act as the merchant. They collect your clients' payments, take their cut, then pay you out days later. LuckyFlo works differently.
You connect your own PayFast Merchant ID. Client deposits go directly into your account the moment a booking is secured. LuckyFlo never touches your money.
PayFast is only required if you want to collect upfront deposits via the No-Show Assassin. Everything else in LuckyFlo works without it.

The maths
One saved no-show can pay for your month.
Reminders and deposits taken at booking mean fewer empty slots. For example, one deposit that protects a R1,000 colour appointment from a no-show covers the Solo plan for the month, with change to spare.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the free trial work?
You get 14 days to try LuckyFlo with your own business, and no credit card is needed to start.
What is a WhatsApp Credit?
One credit sends one automated WhatsApp message, such as a confirmation, reminder or cancellation. Your plan includes a number of credits, they refresh when your subscription renews, and you can top up from your dashboard at any time.
Do I need to sign a contract?
No. Monthly plans have no contract. You can cancel, upgrade or downgrade from your dashboard.
Are my clients' payments secure?
Payments go through your own PayFast merchant account. LuckyFlo never sees or stores your clients' card details — that stays between your client and PayFast.
Can I bring my existing client data?
Yes. Import your client list yourself from a CSV file in the dashboard (Clients → Import).
Does LuckyFlo take a cut of my bookings?
No. You pay a flat monthly subscription. What your clients pay goes into your own PayFast account.
How does LuckyFlo handle POPIA?
Under POPIA you are the Responsible Party for your clients' information, and LuckyFlo processes it for you as your Operator. You can download your clients and appointments as CSV files from the dashboard, and our Privacy Policy sets out what we hold, why, and how deletion works.
Where is my data stored?
On Google Cloud (Firebase), encrypted in transit and at rest. We keep daily and weekly backups, plus point-in-time recovery for the last seven days.
Your diary deserves
an upgrade.
