Teams: employed and self-employed

Employed staff

Their bookings are paid to the business. You pay them through payroll.

Chair renters

Their bookings are paid to their own Stripe account. They are the seller.

Nobody named

Paid to the business.

1. 1

   Mark them self-employed

   In Settings, Payments, Who gets paid. They need to have joined your team on Receipts, because the Stripe account will be theirs.
2. 2

   They connect their own account

   We email them why, and they finish Stripe's form from My payments. Until card payments are on, their bookings are paid at the appointment. Nothing goes to you instead.
3. 3

   Clients see who they are paying: “Paid to Zara, who rents a chair at your salon”. Only the renter can disconnect their account; you cannot redirect their money.

Set commission for employed staff as a percentage or a flat amount, on all work, one service or one add-on, for everyone or one person. The most specific rule wins. Team earnings in Insights shows what each person is owed, with the bookings behind it and a CSV for payroll.

Clients can tip after a visit, on Stripe's page, to the same account as the booking. Tips go in full to the person who did the work. For employed staff that means passing on every tip taken on your account, as the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2023 requires. A renter's tips are paid straight to them.

Set a renter's chair rent weekly or monthly. Bill rent sends them an invoice from your own Stripe account; they pay you directly and Receipts shows whether it is paid.

When someone leaves your team, the link to their account ends and future bookings with them stop. They keep their Stripe account, and refunds on bookings they were paid for stay with them.
