Beauta

What Beauta is

Beauta is a web platform for managing clients, appointments, payments, and business operations at beauty and other appointment-based businesses. Its calendar can assign bookings according to staff skills and availability, while administrators can change assignments, hours, and booking rules. Clients can join a waitlist when no suitable appointment is open, with eligible requests converted automatically when availability returns. Staff profiles can include services, schedules, breaks, time off, performance figures, and commission rules. Stripe processes online booking payments and gift card purchases, with funds sent to the salon’s connected bank account. Beauta says it does not store customer card details and lists PCI DSS Level 1, AES-256, TLS 1.3, and 3D Secure for payment protection. Businesses can export bookings, customers, services, staff, and related records; the team also helps import data from spreadsheets and other systems. Beauta offers onboarding and setup help, and lists Australia and New Zealand as its markets, with English and Vietnamese support. Plans start at 59 NZD a month and support up to 15 staff.
