Payment options include tips, payment links, Tap to Pay, cards on file, and card readers; Goldie Payments uses Stripe. Calendar sync works with Apple and Google, and Reserve with Google can add bookings from Search and Maps to the Goldie calendar in real time. Goldie runs on Android, iOS, and the web, with account data syncing across devices. Starter is free with 20 appointments per month. Pro costs $19.99/mo, or $199.99/yr; Pro Plus costs $39.99/mo, or $399.99/yr.

Practice Master Pro is practice management software for massage therapists, covering patient notes, bookings, invoicing and payment processing. Notes can use SOAP formats, custom templates or condition-specific templates, and practitioners can add diagrams, custom backgrounds and annotations. The software supports gift certificates and prepaid treatment packages, including tracking treatments used. Patients can book through a hosted booking system, whose calendar can be embedded in a practice website. Optional cloud sync provides browser, smartphone and tablet access to data, notes and bookings; the Windows desktop app can also use a local database offline. Listed integrations include Square, Stripe, eWay, Tyro, Xero, MailChimp and Keap. The maker says identifying information, attached files and backups are encrypted, as is data sent to and from its cloud server. Staff permissions can be set individually, including restricting practitioners to assigned patients. Licenses include help, support, setup and remote training. Monthly billing can be cancelled at any time, and data and attached files can be exported in machine- and human-readable forms. Pricing depends on practitioner count, but no amount is shown.
