The change
Your client says “just charge my card.” From November 16, that costs you more.
GlossGenius used to charge one flat 2.6%, card on file or in person. Starting November 16, 2026, its rate for card on file, online and keyed-in payments is 3.4% + 15¢: the deposits, no-show fees and after-the-visit charges your week runs on.

On October 13, 2026, GlossGenius's own blog still promised “no additional transaction fees, or different rates based on whether you are using a card on file.”
GlossGenius figures are its published U.S. rates as of October 2026. SpaSphere processes through Stripe at Stripe's standard U.S. rates; we don't add a SpaSphere markup.

GlossGenius: its published U.S. rate as of October 2026; before is the flat 2.6% it advertised for every payment type. SpaSphere: Stripe's standard U.S. rate; we don't add a SpaSphere markup to Stripe's standard processing rates.
GlossGenius Migration Program
Your business, moved with you.
Switching is the part everyone dreads, so we do it with you. You work with your own SpaSphere account manager, not a ticket queue.
Free for now. It won't always be.
- A planning call with your SpaSphere account manager before anything moves
- We import your clients and their history for you: notes, SOAP notes and photos, not just a contact list
- Moved in as little as 48 hours
- Help setting up your website on your own domain
- A one-on-one onboarding session once you're in
- $1 for your first 30 days
Migration timing and completeness depend on the data GlossGenius lets you export.
If you're moving anyway, move to software built for skin.
Treatment plans
Sequenced multi-session plans with the wait between sessions enforced, bundle pricing and progress your client can see. GlossGenius doesn't offer them on any tier.
Skin records, included
Skin assessments, skin SOAP notes and before/after photos are in the one plan. On GlossGenius, SOAP notes and forms start on Gold.
A website on your own domain
A full site served on your domain, with a client portal and a blog. GlossGenius hosts a booking page your domain can only redirect to.
