Most service-based businesses run on at least four or five separate tools. There’s a booking app, a separate invoicing tool, a form builder for client intakes, and some kind of spreadsheet holding it all loosely together. It works, until it doesn’t. Payments slip through. Follow-up texts feel awkward. And nobody actually knows what’s still outstanding until someone checks three different dashboards.
SoaringPay is a platform built specifically to fix that. It brings storefronts, client inquiries, invoicing, appointment scheduling, and payment collection into one workspace. No spreadsheet chaos, no chasing clients by text after the work is done. Just a clean path from first contact to settled payment.
It launched on Product Hunt this week and caught our attention immediately. The pitch is simple: stop juggling disconnected tools and run your entire client-facing operation from one place. After spending time with it, that pitch holds up pretty well.
Key Features of SoaringPay
Personalized Storefronts
Every business on SoaringPay gets a branded storefront at a custom URL. You upload photos, set product titles, descriptions, prices, and quantities. You can also attach a service duration to any product, so when a client buys it, they schedule their appointment before completing payment. That detail matters a lot for appointment-based businesses. Double-bookings become a non-issue because the calendar and the purchase flow are connected from the start.
Invoicing and Intake Forms
Sending a professional invoice takes a few clicks. The platform keeps paid and unpaid invoices clearly separated, so you can see your open balances at a glance without digging through email threads or spreadsheets. Client intake forms are built into the same workspace, which means you collect the information you need before the work even begins.
Buy Now, Pay Later Support
SoaringPay supports Affirm, Klarna, and Afterpay through your connected Stripe account. For service businesses charging larger amounts, like a full tattoo sleeve or a multi-session consulting package, offering installment options can be the difference between a client saying yes or walking away. The BNPL options sit right alongside standard card payments, and the choice belongs to the customer.
Appointment Scheduling (Optional)
The calendar feature is genuinely optional. If you’re appointment-based, turn it on and manage your availability directly inside the platform. If your business doesn’t require bookings, leave it off entirely and still send invoices and accept payments without any friction. That flexibility makes SoaringPay useful for consultants, contractors, and solo operators who don’t need a booking flow at all.
Affiliate Program
SoaringPay recently launched an affiliate program that pays $40 straight to your connected Stripe account whenever a referral upgrades to the Professional plan. It’s a straightforward incentive, and because payouts go directly to Stripe rather than sitting in an internal wallet, there’s no extra step to actually get your money.
A Tattoo Artist’s Tuesday Morning, Simplified
Priya runs a solo tattoo studio in Austin. On a Tuesday morning around 9:30 AM, she got an inquiry through her SoaringPay storefront from a new client interested in a flash tattoo priced at $150. In the past, this would have meant a back-and-forth text thread, a manually typed invoice sent by email, and then a follow-up three days later when the client hadn’t paid yet.
This time, the client found Priya’s storefront link from her Instagram bio. She browsed the flash collection, selected a design, and was prompted to choose an appointment time before completing checkout. Priya got a notification by 9:45 AM. The appointment was on her calendar. The payment had already cleared to her Stripe account. She didn’t send a single follow-up text.
That’s the actual outcome SoaringPay is built to produce. Not a slightly better version of the old way, but a genuinely different experience where the intake, the booking, and the payment happen in one uninterrupted flow initiated entirely by the client.
How the SoaringPay Workflow Actually Runs
Step 1: Publish Your Storefront
Create your branded page at SoaringPay.com/stores/@yourHandle. Add products with photos, descriptions, prices, and whether an inquiry is required before purchase.
Step 2: Client Browses and Inquires or Buys
Clients visit your storefront link and either submit an inquiry or go straight to checkout. If the product has a service duration attached, they pick an available time slot before paying.
Step 3: Invoice and Collect
Turn any conversation into a polished invoice in a few clicks. Clients pay by card, Affirm, Klarna, or Afterpay. Funds go directly to your Stripe account. SoaringPay never holds your money.
Step 4: Track What’s Outstanding
Your dashboard shows paid versus unpaid for the month at a glance. No spreadsheet required. Open balances stop hiding.
SoaringPay Pricing
There are two plans:
- Free: $0 per month, with a 3% SoaringPay platform fee on each successful transaction. Includes inquiry forms, invoices, appointments, and Stripe Connect payments.
- Professional: $99 per month, with no SoaringPay platform fee. Same feature set, but you keep more of every payment as your volume grows.
Stripe processing fees and any BNPL provider fees from Affirm, Klarna, or Afterpay are separate and charged by those providers directly. The free plan is a genuine starting point, not a stripped-down teaser. The math on Professional starts making sense once your monthly transaction volume crosses a certain threshold.
Who Should Try SoaringPay
If you’re a tattoo artist, salon owner, contractor, consultant, or any solo operator who currently juggles separate tools for booking, invoicing, and collecting payment, SoaringPay is worth a serious look. It’s practical, focused, and built around how service businesses actually operate. The free plan removes any reason to hesitate. Head over to SoaringPay and see how much of your current tool stack it can replace.
