Frequently asked questions
Ovatu scores D on the API Report Card. Ovatu offers no public or self-serve API, no documented webhooks, and no Zapier or Make listing. Integration is a fixed catalog of pre-built partners: Stripe, Square, and other payment providers, Reserve with Google, Mailchimp, Slack, and Zoom. Anything else means manual CSV export.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Ovatu is a cloud-based appointment booking and business management platform built primarily for beauty, wellness, and personal-care service businesses.
POS / Hospitality (Salon, Spa & Wellness Booking) - target customers are independent hair salons, nail studios, barbers, beauticians, medical aesthetic clinics, yoga studios, spas, waxing studios, and complementary/alternative therapy practitioners. Front-desk and owner-operators use Ovatu to: publish a branded booking mini-site for 24/7 self-service appointments, manage staff calendars and rosters with shift/leave tracking, take in-person and online payments via Stripe/Square/PayPal/Tyro/SumUp/Zettle/PaymentSense (including Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, Afterpay), capture client intake forms and consultation notes with photo uploads, send automated SMS/email reminders to cut no-shows, run loyalty and gift-card programs, manage product inventory, and pull basic revenue/staff reporting.
Ovatu publicly claims 1.2M+ monthly appointments processed, 30M+ end-user bookers, and 'thousands of businesses' on the platform, with a 4.8/5 Capterra rating across 143 reviews.
Yes, but consumer/SMB-hospitality flavored: full client profiles with contact PII, appointment history, treatment/consultation notes, photo uploads, pre-appointment intake forms (which for medical-aesthetic clinics can include healthcare-adjacent data), staff schedules and roster/leave records, payment and POS transaction history through Stripe/Square/PayPal/Tyro/SumUp/Zettle, gift card and pass balances, loyalty points, inventory levels, and marketing campaign records.
Founded in Australia (Ovatu Pty Ltd is a long-running brand in the AU salon-tech space, with roots in the early 2010s as a successor to the earlier 'Ovatu Manager' / Rezku-style booking products).
No public REST/GraphQL API or developer portal - salons cannot programmatically extract clients, appointments, payments, or treatment notes for use in third-party tools. Integration catalog is closed-list - if a salon needs to push data to a niche accounting, loyalty, CRM, or analytics tool not on Ovatu's partner list, there is no supported path. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Fresha, Mindbody / Booker, Vagaro, Booksy, Square Appointments, Boulevard. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Ovatu API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Ovatu data. See the Ovatu integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/ovatu-api.
