The Old Way

Booking Shouldn't Be This Complicated

High transaction fees

Most booking platforms charge 2–3% per transaction. On $4,000/month revenue, that's $80–$120 in fees—every single month.

Instagram DMs are messy

"DM to book" means endless back-and-forth. You lose track of who booked when, and clients slip through the cracks.

Software built for storefronts, not for you

You don't need POS systems, walk-in queues, or reception software—just a simple way to book and get paid.

The Process

How It Works — Simple as 1-2-3

One booking page. Two ways to share it. Zero hassle.

Your booking page: yourname.localdirect.app

  • For Instagram/Social Media: Add link to your bio

2

Clients tap or scan and book

They see your services, pick a date and time, and enter their info. The page loads instantly and feels native on their phone.

3

Get paid on Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle

Booking confirmation includes a payment link. Client taps it, their Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App opens, they pay you in seconds.

Get paid how you want. No transaction fees from us.

Everyone gets confirmation

You and your client each get an email with a calendar invite (.ics). It shows up on their phone's calendar automatically.

Set it and forget it. Reminders go out automatically.
