SalonUltimate API

Frequently asked questions
SalonUltimate scores F on Supergood's API Report Card. SalonUltimate (BookedBy), the mandated POS for Sport Clips, publishes no API and no developer portal; its developer subdomains are blank placeholders. Integrations are a short vendor-wired list, so a franchisee reaches booking and client data only through in-app reports and the Scorecard app.
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. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
SalonUltimate, marketed since 2023 as "SalonUltimate, Powered by BookedBy" and increasingly simply as BookedBy, is a cloud salon, spa and barbershop management platform covering online booking, walk-in queueing and wait times, self check-in and checkout kiosks, POS and payments, employee scheduling, inventory, email and SMS marketing and reporting.
Fitness & Wellness: hair salons, barbershops, spas and men's grooming franchises in North America. Segments range from single-location salons to multi-unit franchise systems. Front desk staff check in walk-ins and online check-ins on a live queue with first-available or preferred-stylist logic, run guided or self checkout on Clover hardware, and add upsells from the stylist app.
Fiserv's March 2026 case study cites more than 3,000 beauty businesses and 60 million annual bookings; the anchor customer is Sport Clips with 1,788 outlets (2026 FDD), and the vendor names a handful of smaller franchise brands.
Client profiles with phone and email, visit and service history, stylist preferences and notes, waitlist and check-in events, appointments, tickets and payments (card data tokenized through Fiserv, WorldPay or Global Payments on Clover devices), tips, gift cards and memberships, employee schedules, time clocks and commission data, and inventory.
Founded 2011; cloud-hosted with iOS and Android POS and Scorecard apps, native Clover integration, biometric login, timed logout and geofencing.
A Sport Clips manager rates the updated SalonUltimate app 0 out of 10 because stats for other stores, remote time card edits and off-site store views were removed. Reviewers report the app crashing and not accurately displaying data after a recent update, and forced re-login every session. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Zenoti, Shortcuts, Meevo, Boulevard, Phorest, Vagaro. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. There is no official SalonUltimate MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. SalonUltimate doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
