Case Study: StyleSeat doubles revenue for beauty professionals with Stripe

StyleSeat partners with Stripe to double revenue for beauty professionals

StyleSeat, the online marketplace and salon management platform for beauty and barber professionals, was looking to remove friction from payments and tipping while supporting rapid growth. With a lean engineering team, StyleSeat needed a way to embed payments into its app and website without becoming a payments facilitator, and it turned to Stripe to help simplify checkout, rebooking, and future payments for clients and stylists.

Stripe implemented Connect, Billing, Radar, Sigma, and Instant Payouts to power StyleSeat Payments, recurring subscriptions, fraud prevention, reporting, and fast cashouts. The results were significant: StyleSeat has helped beauty professionals book over 100 million appointments and manage $10.6 billion in revenue, while stylists saw 40% higher tip revenue on average and StyleSeat estimated no-show and cancellation fees saved professionals nearly $2 million in 2020.
