What Velixa is
Velixa combines online bookings, a business diary, payments, and a hosted branded website for salons and service businesses. Clients can book through a shareable link, choose a service and eligible team member, and manage eligible changes through their account. Merchants can secure bookings with a card through Stripe without charging at booking, then charge the saved card or record cash on the appointment day. The published online card fee is 3%, with a minimum fee of £0.50 per payment; cash payments have no card-processing fee. The hosted website can show services, prices, appointment durations, a gallery, and online booking. Custom-domain support is included, although buying and renewing the domain are separate. A booking widget can be embedded where the website platform and plan permit the necessary code. Supported calendar connections include Google Calendar, Outlook, Microsoft 365, and iCloud. Merchant apps for iOS and Android are included with the subscription. Other tools include memberships, gift cards, loyalty programmes, prepaid packages, reviews, and a waitlist that can automatically offer open slots. Plans are £15 a month or £12 a year, each with a 7-day free trial and card required. The company is based in London, United Kingdom.
