Your studio runs
on WhatsApp.
Native WhatsApp class reminders. Pack credits built in. PayFast direct to your account. The booking platform built for studios — not retrofitted from American salons.
From R390/mo · 2 months free on annual signup · No card required for trial
Your clients live in WhatsApp.
Your reminders should too.
90%+ of South African mobile users open WhatsApp every day. Yet every booking platform built overseas sends SMS — texts your clients ignore, swipe away, or never open.
LuckyFlo sends WhatsApp natively — straight from your business profile. No third-party gateway, no Twilio config, no per-message billing maze. Just a reminder that lands where your clients already live.

Every feature, for the way you actually operate.
Class packs. Capacity-based pricing. Waitlist auto-promote. Built from day one for the way studios run.
Class packs, built in
Sell 5-class, 10-class, term-length packs. Credits deducted on enrolment, refunded on cancellation. No spreadsheets, no manual reconciliation.
WhatsApp reminders
Native WhatsApp class reminders, waitlist promote alerts, post-class review requests. No third-party gateway. 250-1,000 messages/mo included.
Waitlist that pays for itself
Class full? Clients join the waitlist. A cancellation triggers automatic promotion — they’re enrolled before the next person can grab the spot.
Your PayFast account, your money
Pack purchases land directly in your bank via PayFast. LuckyFlo never touches the money. No 23.5% marketplace tax (looking at you, Mindbody).
Owner-set policies
Minimum booking notice, cancellation window, deposit rules — you set them, the system enforces them. Refunds happen automatically when clients cancel in window.

Questions, answered.
Do I need a PayFast account?
Yes — bring your own PayFast account. Your clients’ pack purchases land directly in YOUR bank, not ours. LuckyFlo never touches the money. Setup takes 5 minutes inside Dashboard → Settings → PayFast Integration.
How many WhatsApp messages do I get?
Independent: 250/mo · Boutique: 500/mo · Unlimited: 1000/mo. Plenty for a typical studio. Top-ups available in bundles from R79 if you ever run short.
Can I migrate from SuperSaaS / Mindbody / Vagaro?
Yes. Email hello@luckyflo.com — for Boutique and Unlimited plans we handle white-glove migration of your client list, class schedules, and active pack purchases at no charge.
What happens after the 14-day trial?
You pick a plan. No card required to start the trial, no auto-charge surprises. If you don’t pick a plan, your booking page pauses (you keep your data) until you reactivate.
Do I need to know how to set up the WhatsApp Business API?
No. We handle it. LuckyFlo sends WhatsApp natively from your business profile — no Twilio, no third-party gateway, no API keys for you to manage.
