Repose

Bookings for spaces that hold people, not seats.

Repose sells and schedules timed access to a sauna, ice bath, float tank or recovery room, through the Shopify store you already run. Visits, packs, memberships and gift cards in one checkout, and a desk view of the day for your staff.

Repose is in review for the Shopify App Store. Until it is listed, we install it with you.

How Repose counts a morningNine bookings of a 60-minute session with staggered starts, drawn on a timeline from 9:00 to 12:45, and below them the number of people in the space at every minute against a limit of 8. The peak is8.9:009:3010:0010:3011:0011:3012:0012:302 people1 person3 people2 people2 people1 person1 person2 people2 people80Venue limit: 8 peoplePeople in the space, minute by minute
An example morning: one room, a limit of eight people, starts offered every fifteen minutes. The room fills to its limit three times before eleven and never past it. Repose adds up who is in the space at every minute, changeover gaps included, and stops selling a start time the moment it would push the room past its limit. No class roster, no fixed sessions, no empty seats held by the timetable.

How it works

Three parts, and Shopify does the money.

  1. Sell it in Shopify

    A visit, a ten-pack, a weekly membership, a gift card: each is an ordinary Shopify product. Create one from New offer in Repose, or open the Repose card on any product page and say what it sells. Memberships run on Shopify's own subscription plans. There is no second payment processor and no second customer list.

  2. Customers book themselves

    The Session booking block sits on your theme. A customer picks a day, sees the real open times split into morning and afternoon, ticks your waiver once, and takes a time with one tap. Someone new can hold a time first and pay for it in the same visit.

  3. Run the desk

    Today's shape at a glance: every start time, how many places are free, who is booked in. Book a regular by name with their own credits, take a walk-in or a group under a typed name, and see what any customer holds, in Repose or on their Shopify customer page.

What makes it different

Most booking apps were built for classes or appointments. A recovery venue is neither.

Occupancy, not seats
A sauna does not have a 10:00 class. It has a room that fits eight people, and someone who walked in at 9:45 is still in it. Repose counts the people in the space at every minute, changeover gaps included, so staggered starts and overlapping sessions work the way the room does.
One checkout
Sessions, packs, memberships and gift cards are all Shopify products, paid through your Shopify checkout at your Shopify rates. Refunds flow back through the same orders, and credits are clawed back only as far as the customer still holds them.
Memberships on native plans
A membership is a product with a subscription plan on it. Repose reads each paid order, extends the member's access by the length you set, and lets members book without spending a credit. It never creates, edits or cancels a plan, and it tells members only what it actually knows about their renewal.
Limited-run offers
Cap an intro price at the first fifty customers and it closes itself at fifty. Set a standard offer to go on sale the moment the intro sells out. Checkout refuses a repeat purchase of a once-per-person offer before anyone pays for it twice.
Rooms and sites
Several bookable things per location, each with its own length, gap and places, counting toward the venue's limit or not. Several locations per store, each in its own timezone with its own hours and closed days.
Honest by design
The admin says what it knows and no more. A membership whose renewal has not arrived says so rather than promising one. Email to customers is two messages, a confirmation and a cancellation notice, and one switch turns them off. Nothing is sent that the app cannot stand behind.

Built for recovery venues

Capacity-limited, timed access to a space, with nobody at the front of the room.

A good fit

How it is set up for a shared space, private rooms, or a space with limited extras.

Not what it is for

  • Instructor-led classes with rosters
  • Salon or clinic appointments with a named practitioner
  • Venues that need a member mobile app or a check-in kiosk today
  • Reminders before a session, or marketing automation such as win-back email or SMS

Those are on the roadmap after v1, or better served by another app.

Free to start, then a flat monthly plan

Your first 100 customer bookings are free, once, on an open store, and unlimited on a development store while you test. After that, USD 59 or USD 249 a month, chosen and billed inside Shopify.

Repose is made by a small studio in Melbourne and is being rolled out with a handful of venues before it is listed. If yours might be one, say hello.
