FAQs

What is Porter?
Porter is the first all-in-one software platform designed exclusively for tattoo artists and studios. It combines booking, payments, POS, marketing (CRM), and analytics in a single tool—so you can ditch DMs, spreadsheets, and endless email chains.
Who is Porter for?
Porter is specifically built for tattoo artists and studios. Whether you're an independent artist or working at a shop, or you own / manage a shop with 10+ artists, Porter is built for you.
How does Porter reduce no-shows?
Porter sends automated reminders, collects deposits, and makes rescheduling simple for clients—cutting down on last-minute cancellations and keeping your books full.
How does Porter boost revenue?
Porter helps increase revenue in a lot of ways. The biggest is increasing your conversion from interested customer > scheduled appointment. By giving you all the tools you need to quickly reply to clients, you can reply in hours, not weeks and capture more appointments than you previously were. We also have built in features like collecting the clients budget (helps you price higher), tipping on the full tattoo cost (including deposits already paid), and more to help you generate more revenue per appointment.

Our built in email & SMS marketing tool helps you re-target your customers and send personalized campaigns to keep your clients coming back for more.
How do I get paid?
When you sign up for a Porter account, you'll be able to set up your Payments Account where we'll verify your business / individual details, and you can connect your bank account or debit card to receive payouts. When you process a deposit or checkout payment, funds will immediately be sent to your payments account, and distributed to your bank account within 2-3 business days.
