What Affichr adds
Review before checkout
Affichr starts with the request, references, and artist decision before a deposit or appointment is finalized.
Calendar control
Curated slot offers and cancellation broadcasts keep the calendar flexible without opening every slot to direct booking.
After the payment
Client notes, designs, consultation links, consent records, and appointment history stay connected.
Best fit
Square fits when...
Your priority is POS, retail checkout, card payments, and general appointment scheduling.
Affichr fits when...
Tattoo or salon requests need review before confirmation, with curated slots, cancellation broadcasts, consultations, consent records, and signed design sharing.
Affichr is not built for
Heavy retail POS or inventory workflows as the main differentiator.
Run the day from one tattoo calendar.
