Is DINGG a good SalonBiz alternative?
Yes, for employee and commission salons, spas and beauty clinics. DINGG covers what owners use SalonBiz for (online booking with deposits, checkout, inventory, campaigns and reports across locations) with a pay run that puts salary, commission and tips on one pay stub per person, memberships billed to the card on file, Tap to Pay on iPhone and Android, and the app and support in English or Spanish. SalonBiz has served salons for more than 40 years and has a solution for Aveda salons; the table below shows each side as its own website states it.
- Salary, commission and tips on one pay stub per person
- Memberships billed to the card on file
- The app and support in English or Spanish
Quick answer: Yes. DINGG is a strong SalonBiz alternative for employee and commission salons, spas and beauty clinics: booking with deposits, Tap to Pay checkout, commission and tips worked out per person with a pay stub each, memberships billed to the card on file and every location in one account, in English or Spanish. Aveda salons that want SalonBiz's Aveda solution, or owners who rely on its partner integrations, may prefer SalonBiz.
What owners moving from SalonBiz usually want
Payday in a commission salon: tiered rates, retail commission, a tip shared by a stylist and an assistant, and a pay stub each person can check.
You want regulars on memberships that renew on the card on file, with member rates at checkout, alongside packages and gift cards.
You want clients booking on a site that looks like your salon, and new clients finding you online.
Part of your team would rather work in Spanish.

DINGG as a SalonBiz alternative: frequently asked questions
Is DINGG a good SalonBiz alternative?
Yes, for employee and commission salons, spas and beauty clinics. DINGG covers online booking with deposits, Tap to Pay checkout, inventory, campaigns and reports across locations, and works out commission and tips per person with a pay stub each, bills memberships to the card on file, and runs in English or Spanish.
When is SalonBiz the better fit?
If you run an Aveda salon and want SalonBiz's Aveda solution, rely on partner integrations such as Demandforce, Listen360, Vish or accounting sync, or want the software SalonBiz says is used by more Salon Today 200 salons than any other, SalonBiz states these on its website, with more than 40 years in salons. DINGG is built for salons, spas and beauty clinics with a team and runs booking, checkout, pay, marketing and reports in one system; it works out pay but doesn't file payroll taxes.
Can I move from SalonBiz to DINGG?
Yes. A dedicated DINGG team moves your clients, visit history, services, staff, memberships, packages, gift card balances and booked appointments from SalonBiz, and you're live within 48 hours of us receiving your data. Your front desk, providers and managers are trained before go-live.
How much does DINGG cost compared with SalonBiz?
DINGG plans depend on your locations, your team and the modules you need, with no commission on bookings from your own booking site. Plans are shared in a free demo and followed by a quote by email; we don't publish price comparisons.
Can DINGG split one tip between two people?
Yes. The tip is added at checkout and split across everyone who worked on the service, and each share lands on that person's pay record, ready for payroll with their commission.
Does DINGG handle memberships, packages and gift cards?
Yes. Memberships are billed to the card on file and renew automatically, with member rates at checkout, and packages and gift cards are redeemed at the locations you choose, all on the same ticket as services and retail.
Can my team use DINGG in Spanish?
Yes. Your team can use DINGG in English or Spanish, and DINGG's support team speaks both.
Is there an offer for switching to DINGG?
Yes, on annual plans: switch now, pay later, with up to 30 days to pay (data migration by our team isn't included with this offer); free data migration of up to 3 years of records, or 20% off your annual plan (pick one); and flexible payments, such as part payments, agreed in your quote.
What happens to gift card balances, packages and booked appointments?
They come across with your clients. DINGG's team moves gift card and prepaid balances, what's left on each membership and package, loyalty points and your booked appointments, so clients redeem and turn up as before.
What happens to my SalonBiz subscription?
Keep SalonBiz running until DINGG is live, so you never stop taking bookings. Tell us when your SalonBiz plan renews and we'll plan the move so you're live before then. Canceling is between you and SalonBiz, under your agreement with them.
Do my clients need an app or an account to book?
No. Clients book on your booking site in any browser, with no app to download and no account to create. If you choose, they confirm the booking with a one-time code.
