Is DaySmart Body Art built for tattoo studios?
Yes. DaySmart Body Art is made for tattoo studios. The table above shows where the two differ on the details.
Does DaySmart track a sleeve as one project?
DaySmart Body Art doesn’t describe project tracking on its public pages. In Limespun a sleeve is one project, with the deposit carried across every session.
How do I get my clients out of DaySmart?
DaySmart’s Data Retrieval Request form gets you a one-time export: clients, client notes, services, products and employees. DaySmart treats a data retrieval as a one-time courtesy, so request it before you cancel and keep the file. Send us the file and our team does the rest.
Do the deposits I hold in DaySmart come across?
Yes. We record each deposit you’re holding on the right client and project, so it’s applied at the session it’s for. Clients aren’t charged again.
What if Limespun isn’t right for us?
Every plan has a 30-day money-back guarantee. There’s no free trial, and DaySmart keeps working until you cancel it, so nothing is lost if you stop.
Can I keep DaySmart running while you move us?
Yes. On every plan our team moves your clients, upcoming bookings, deposits held and signed consent forms while DaySmart keeps taking bookings. When the counts match, you decide when to switch.
Do my clients have to do anything?
No. Their bookings, deposits and signed forms come across. Saved cards don’t, so clients add a card with their next deposit. The text, email and story above tell them what changed.
Where does DaySmart do better?
Product line focused on tattoo and piercing. Required release forms flag an appointment until they’re done. Payroll with sliding-scale and split commissions. If those matter most to your shop, DaySmart Body Art may suit you better.
