Per-bed bookable diaries
Set up each bed (or spray room) as its own bookable diary so two clients can never share a single bed.
The all-in-one booking platform for tanning studios
Tanning studio booking software that keeps every bed earning
Each bed gets its own bookable diary, every service has its own duration and changeover buffer, and reminders keep the schedule full.
No charge for 7 days. Cancel any time.
Velixa is tanning studio booking software that runs every bed as its own bookable diary. Set the duration of each session, add changeover buffer between bookings, and let regulars book themselves online — no more double-booked beds and no more empty hours.
Online booking
Let regulars book themselves, day or night
Stop running your studio from a phone-line. Velixa puts every diary online so regulars pick the slot, the staff member and the session they want — without a call back.
- Real-time availability on every device
- Per-staff bookable diaries with breaks and time off
- Hosted booking page plus an embeddable widget
Payments
Card secured before they walk in
Every booking saves a card on file via Stripe — no charge at reservation. After a peak-hour bed, charge the stored card with one tap. Money lands in a Stripe account in your name, never ours. If a regular cancels late or doesn't show, apply a fee to their saved card under your cancellation policy.
- Card saved on file — no charge until after the appointment
- Late-cancel and no-show fees charged to the stored card
- Payouts to a Stripe account in your name
Repeat revenue
Sell more than just appointments
Most studios leave money on the table by only selling time. Velixa adds packages, memberships, gift cards and loyalty stamps — all on the same booking page, all in the same dashboard.
- Pre-paid service packages
- Recurring memberships via Stripe
- Branded gift cards and loyalty stamps

Frequently asked questions
Real answers about how Velixa works for tanning studios.
Does it stop double-booking a bed?
Yes — each bed is its own bookable diary, so the booking page only shows slots that are actually free.
Can I add changeover time between bookings?
Yes. Each service has its own duration plus before/after buffer minutes for cleaning and turnover, so there's always a gap between sessions.
Can clients book themselves online?
Yes — every studio gets a free hosted booking page at velixa.co.uk/site/your-name where regulars can book the bed and time they want.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — every Velixa account starts with a 7-day free trial of every feature. We collect your card at signup so the trial rolls automatically into your subscription, but no payment is taken for 7 days and you can cancel any time before then.
Do you charge per booking?
No. Velixa is a flat monthly subscription — take as many bookings as your diary will hold without paying any per-booking commission.
Will my clients get reminders?
Yes — every account sends an automatic email reminder roughly 24 hours before each appointment, included at no extra cost. SMS reminders are an optional pay-as-you-go add-on: top up credits in your dashboard whenever you want text-message nudges as well.
