What Apoynt is
Apoynt is a business platform for service providers that bring their own customers. Its booking page lets clients choose a named team member, date, and available time, and select a location where the business has multiple shops. Point-of-sale tools cover cash floats, shift checks, live cash, card and gift totals, tips, change, and end-of-day cash-up. Businesses can sell gift cards online, redeem them at the till, check balances, and offer loyalty stamps, although availability depends on the plan. Communications include booking confirmations, 24-hour reminders, campaign emails, live chat, and WhatsApp contact features. Businesses can connect their own PayPal or Stripe account or use bank transfer; Apoynt says it takes no commission on bookings, till sales, deposits, or gift cards, but processor fees may still apply. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web. The listed plans range from two staff and one location to 20 staff and three locations.
