With SmartChat, you send your guests everything that's happening in your spa on WhatsApp: a massage slot that became free today, the long sauna infusion night or wellness vouchers for Christmas.

Reminder the day before

SmartChat takes your appointments from the calendar (iCal) and reminds every guest the day before. If someone cancels, you can still offer the treatment again in good time.

This is how you collect contacts in your spa.

Your guests sign up themselves, via the QR code on the premises, on your website or through a link. They only get your newsletter once they have confirmed in WhatsApp.

  1. 1

    Your guest scans the QR code

    The code sits on the stand at the front desk, on the price list in the relaxation room and on every voucher. SmartChat creates it to match your landing page.

  2. 2

    Your guest enters first name and phone number

    A short form opens. That's all it takes.

Frequently asked questions about WhatsApp marketing for wellness businesses.

Can my spa send guests offers on WhatsApp?

Yes, as soon as the guest has agreed themselves. They sign up through your landing page and then confirm once in WhatsApp. SmartChat stores every consent with date and time, so you can prove it.

Where do my spa guests sign up for WhatsApp?

Everywhere they come across you: via a QR code on the premises, on your website or through a link. SmartChat creates a QR codefor you, which you print on stands, price lists and vouchers. On your website, a website popup also asks for signups.

Does SmartChat replace my booking software for massages and treatments?

No. You keep planning your appointments in the software you're used to. If a guest asks for a massage on WhatsApp, their message lands in the SmartChat inbox, and your front desk enters the appointment as usual.

Can SmartChat remind my guests the day before their treatment?

Yes. You connect your calendar via iCal, and SmartChat sends a reminder the day before, one of the automations. Free and Starter include 1 automation, which is the double opt-in with the thank-you message. For the reminder, you need Basic with 3 automations or Pro with unlimited ones.

Can I sell wellness vouchers via WhatsApp?

SmartChat doesn't take payments itself. You send your voucher offer on WhatsApp, and the button leads to your own voucher shop. Alternatively, the guest replies in the chat with the amount they want, and your team takes care of the rest.

Can I write only to my sauna guests or only to massage customers?

Yes, with tags. For example, tag contacts with "Sauna" or "Massage" and send the sauna infusion night only to the sauna guests. Anyone who so far only comes for facials won't get this message.

How does SmartChat AI know my sauna rules, prices and opening hours?

SmartChat AI analyzes your website and the documentsyou upload, for example your price list or the sauna rules as a PDF. If you change prices or times, you upload the new version, and SmartChat AI answers with it from then on.

Does SmartChat AI also answer questions about sauna and health?

For medical questions, SmartChat AI does not answer, and the question stays in the inbox with your team. Otherwise, it answers with what's on your website and in your documents. If SmartChat AI can't answer, the message is forwarded to your team in the inbox.

Can the front desk and therapists reply together on WhatsApp?

Yes. All conversations run in one shared inbox, and everyone sees who answered what. Free offers 1 team seat, Starter 3, Basic 6 and Pro 12.

Do I need a second phone number for my spa?

No. You use the number your guests already know and connect it to SmartChat. To confirm, you enter a code from Meta, the company behind WhatsApp. One number per account is possible.

What does SmartChat cost for a spa or wellness business?

Free costs โ‚ฌ0 with no time limit and no credit card and includes 100 messages once. Starter is โ‚ฌ299 a month for 3,000 messages, Basic โ‚ฌ499 for 6,000, Pro โ‚ฌ999 with no limit. We deduct no credits for sending. All prices plus VAT, more under Pricing.

Does Meta charge my spa extra fees for WhatsApp?

Yes, Meta bills you directly for the fees for WhatsApp messages. For that, you add a payment method in your Meta account. You only pay SmartChat for the plan you chose. You can find the exact prices here.

How quickly is my spa ready with SmartChat?

You give SmartChat AI the address of your website. In 60 seconds, your landing page and your QR code are ready. Then you connect your number and send your first newsletter to the guests who have signed up.

How does a guest unsubscribe from my spa's WhatsApp messages?

They write STOP in the chat with your spa. SmartChat then sends them no more newsletters and lists them as unsubscribed in your contact list.
