How is Addagio different from Airbnb, Mindbody, or Fresha?+

Does Addagio handle payments?+

Yes. Addagio integrates with Stripe for secure payment processing. Customers can pay by credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Funds are deposited directly to your bank account.

Can my customers book without creating an account?+
