What Check Cherry is
Check Cherry is booking and business management software for event professionals, including photographers, DJs, photo booth owners, venues and mobile bartenders. Its online booking flow lets clients choose packages, add-ons and locations, then sign contracts and pay. For mini sessions, a shared link lets clients select a time, sign and pay, with automatic reminders. Electronic signatures also cover model releases and session agreements on any device.
The service accepts major cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Listed processing fees are 2.9% plus 30¢ USD. Two-way calendar sync is available with Google Calendar, iCal/Apple Calendar and Outlook. Other listed integrations include QuickBooks Online, Mailchimp, Zapier, Twilio, Google Meet, Zoom and Canva. Each plan includes a REST API and webhooks for syncing bookings, leads and payments. Native iOS and Android apps support booking, invoice, client detail and notification management. Check Cherry was founded in Riverside, California, in 2016 and is fully remote and US-based. The company says data is encrypted, backed up daily and stored on secure servers, and that in-house support typically responds in 2–5 minutes.
