One loop, three pillars.
Listings and reviews bring customers in. Bookings become invoices, and every invoice asks for a review that lands back on your listings.
Be where they're
already looking.
When someone searches for what you do, you're the one who turns up, with the reviews to back you. On the map, in the apps, with the right hours and details.
- One update reaches 50+ directories, from Google and Apple Maps to Siri and ChatGPT
- Every invoice asks for a review, and AI drafts your replies
A diary that
fills itself.
Customers book a time, a place in a session, or a package, straight from your page. Reminders go out on their own, and a no-show fee covers the ones who forget.
- One-to-one bookings and group sessions in one calendar
- Take deposits, and sell packages and memberships up front
Get paid
without the chasing.
Quotes and invoices customers pay with a tap. Online bookings raise their own invoice, so nothing waits on you.
- A quote becomes an invoice the moment a customer accepts it
- Recurring invoices go out on schedule, so you see income before it lands
The whole loop, in two minutes.
From a customer finding you on Google to the invoice getting paid. Turn the sound on to hear the walkthrough.
“I stopped doing invoices on a Sunday. Paydough just handles it, so I get my evenings back and the work gets paid.”

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Starter is free and needs no card. You pay only 2.5% + 30p on each card payment. Essential and Growth ask for a card when you choose them.
Yes. Add a location for each place you trade from. Your customers and what you sell are shared, while each location keeps its own diary, invoices and listing. Invite as many staff as you need, and every one of them can reach every location.
From your storefront, a page you can share on socials, your website or a QR code. They choose a service, who they'd like, and a time that fits your opening hours. They pay by card at checkout, or just a deposit if you ask for one, and the booking lands in your calendar.
Yes. Each service can take a deposit when a customer books, and set fees for no-shows and late cancellations inside a window you choose. A deposit already paid counts towards the fee. Before you mark a no-show, Paydough tells you exactly what will be charged.
Yes. A service can be one-to-one, a one-off session, or repeating sessions on a timetable. Each session has a set number of places. When it fills, customers can join the waitlist and are booked in automatically if a place frees up.
Yes. Each staff member can connect their own Google Calendar, and the bookings and sessions they work are added to it. The sync goes one way, so changes made in Google don't come back to Paydough. Customers get an Add to calendar button on every booking.
Bookings come with the Essential plan, alongside quotes, recurring invoices and income reports. Starter covers invoicing and card payments for free.
Yes. Every payment runs through Stripe, which is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK. Your customers' card details are encrypted and handled by Stripe, never stored by us.
Customers pay by card from the payment link on every invoice, and any account credit they hold with you is used first. You can also copy the link or show its QR code to share it however you like.
Paydough pays out through Stripe every Monday on a 7-day rolling basis. That means when a customer pays you, the money clears in 7 days and then lands in the next Monday payout. Most banks show it in your account the same day or the next working day. Your payout will always be the sale amount minus any Stripe fees, refunds or disputes.
Accurate, consistent listings help you show up in local search and map results. The more places your details are right, the more often people looking for what you do find you, call you, visit your website and get directions.
Once your listing is set up, every review left for you on Google and Facebook arrives in one inbox. Reply from there, or have a reply drafted for you to check and post.
Yes. Every invoice carries a review link for your customer. More genuine reviews help you rank higher, and give new customers a reason to choose you.
