No sales call, no onboarding fee, no six-week implementation. Three steps, most of an afternoon.

01
Create your account

Name, business, email. No card. Your booking page exists the moment you sign up, at book.artistryhost.com/yourname.

02
Add an experience

Name, price, party size, schedule. Pick how guests pay: no card, card on file, or paid in full with Apple Pay and Google Pay. Connect your Square only if you take payment online.

03
Add a Book now button

Link it from Squarespace, Wix, WordPress, or wherever your site lives. That's it. You're taking bookings, and every one lands in your own Square account.

The parts that matter on a Saturday night.

Runs on your Square

Every booking is a real Square order. Tax, tip, and revenue land as separate line items, and funds arrive on Square's normal schedule. We never sit between you and your money.

Gift cards, online and in person

Sell them through Square. Guests redeem at booking checkout or at your counter. One balance, split tender handled automatically.

A run sheet for the host stand

Who's arriving, who's paid, party size, notes. One view for the whole night, built for a room of group experiences, not a tour van.

Three ways for guests to pay

No Card Required, Card on File, or Full Prepayment with Apple Pay and Google Pay. Choose per experience. Nobody is ever charged automatically.

Your pixel, your data

Meta and Google conversions fire under your own IDs, browser-side and server-side, so you can finally tell whether your ad spend works.

Guests help themselves

Cancel, reschedule, or change party size from their booking link, inside the policy window you set. Fewer phone calls, fewer no-shows.

Also included: private events and invoices, multi-week course series, member programs, two-way guest texting, and a booking funnel that shows you where guests drop off. Everything on every plan →

Sell them online. Take them everywhere.

Sell gift cards online through Square, the same ones your register already issues. When the recipient books a class, ArtistryHost checks the live balance and applies it, gift card first, card for the rest. Walk in with one and the counter takes it too.

One balance, one ledger, nothing to reconcile at month-end. Most booking platforms keep gift cards inside their own system, so a card bought online can’t pay for a bottle at the bar. Ours can, because it’s a Square gift card the whole way through.

Requires Square Gift Cards. Online redemption applies to paid-in-full bookings.

Real guests at Cork & Candles and Wax + Wine, booked and checked in on ArtistryHost. Not stock. Ours.

$75 a month. $50 if you pay annually.

That’s the whole price list. No per-booking percentage, no surcharge on your guests at checkout, no setup fee, no contract.

The percentage platforms cost a busy studio doing $30,000 a month in bookings somewhere between $900 and $2,100 a month. When you grow, we don’t take a bigger cut. See the math and the full comparison →
