Get paid to put local shops online.
You introduce local beauty businesses — barbers, salons, nail bars, tattoo studios — to their free Bookora booking page. Every time one of your shops takes a booking, and every month they stay on Premium, you earn a share — automatically, for as long as they're on the platform. It's recurring income, not a one-off finder's fee. Read this once and you'll understand exactly how you get paid.
How you get paid — two income streams
Both are automatic. Commission lands in your agent balance the moment a shop you referred takes a paid booking or pays their monthly subscription. You never chase anyone for money.
| The shop's plan | You earn per booking | You earn monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Free (£0/mo — most shops start here) | 10% of every booking | — |
| Premium (£19.99/mo — when they upgrade) | 2.5% of every booking | £4.99/mo, recurring |
Both streams keep paying for as long as the shop stays with Bookora and your account is in good standing. Cancelled/refunded bookings have their commission reversed — you only keep commission on money the shop actually kept. Cash out any time your balance is over £20, paid by bank transfer.
You sign up 20 shops. Ten of them go Premium. That's 10 × £4.99 = £49.90/month in subscription share alone — before a single booking. Add 2.5% of their bookings and 10% of the free shops' bookings on top. Keep signing up shops and it compounds every month. It's uncapped, and we don't promise a figure — your earnings track real bookings, so busy shops = more for you.
"So the shop pays £19.99 — where does it go?" (full honesty)
Agents sell better when they can answer this with a straight face. So here it is, no spin. When a shop upgrades to Premium at £19.99/month:
Your £4.99 is a full quarter of what the shop pays — every month, forever. The other ~£15 is not profit sitting in someone's pocket. It's the real cost of running a platform that actually brings the shop customers:

Tips to earn more
• Start with shops you already know — a warm intro converts fastest. • Target busy shops; more bookings means more commission for you. • The free plan is an easy "yes" — there's no cost or risk to the shop. • Once they see the bookings roll in, upgrading to Premium (and unlocking your £4.99/mo) becomes a natural next step. • Keep adding shops — every one is another monthly income line.
The deal, in plain English (Agent Policy)
- You earn commission on shops you personally refer via your unique link, or add through your portal.
- Commission is paid to your balance automatically and paid out by bank transfer once you're over £20.
- Booking commission is reversed if the booking is cancelled or refunded — you keep commission only on completed, paid bookings.
- Commission continues for as long as the shop stays on Bookora and your agent account is active and in good standing.
- No fake sign-ups, no signing up shops without their knowledge, and no misrepresenting Bookora. Fraud or abuse means removal and forfeited balance.
- Earnings are not guaranteed — they depend entirely on real bookings and subscriptions from the shops you bring on.
- You're self-employed and responsible for your own tax on what you earn.
