Now live: The Beauty Exchange is open in the DC Metro!

Simple, transparent pricing

Build your profile for free. Pay BEx only when BEx processes a booking.

There is no monthly BEx fee, no setup fee, and no charge to keep your provider profile active.

When you are ready to accept bookings and card payments directly through BEx, connect Stripe from your provider dashboard. BEx then charges a platform fee of 4% to 5% on each booking paid through the platform.

Choose when to connect payments

Your profile can help clients discover your business even if you are not ready to accept online payments.

Without Stripe connected

Clients can view your services, explore your work, and message you to schedule. BEx does not charge a platform fee on appointments that are not paid through the platform.

When you connect Stripe

Clients can select an available time, pay securely, and complete their booking directly through BEx.
