LET'S GET STARTED1) I've created a list below of all the software solutions everyone listed in the survey.
2) From the research below, I am proposing that we use SquareUp for our e-commerce site. It is good value for money, plus has great functionality.
Just in case you are wondering 🙂
I am not associated with any of these software companies & will not be getting any commission or money from them.
3) As a reference, I created this salon shop using SquareUp last week, was pretty easy to use.

• Note: Online booking software / scheduling / automated reminders.
We can use the basic online booking software in SquareUp or can link with software like Timely, Fresha, Simple salon.
If linking to other software, this will cost more (see below).
