The economics

Your professionals subscribe. You receive 40%.

An empty suite costs you rent every month it sits open. Professionals with a steady book of returning clients have more reason to stay. That is the first return. The 40% comes on top of it.

Each professional pays for their own Candle, on plans from $29 to $99 a month. You receive 40%, paid monthly.

Professionals subscribedYour 40% per year, $29 planYour 40% per year, $99 plan

1,000$139,200$475,200

How it works

You make the introduction. We do the rest.

01You introduce it

Through channels you already use: email, text, onboarding, your portal, location meetings.

02We set it up and support it

We set up every location and support every professional. Their Candle and page are already waiting.

03Professionals subscribe directly

Each one pays for and owns their Candle. It belongs to them, not the building.

04You are paid monthly

40% of subscription revenue from professionals in your buildings, reported clearly.

One QR and one link per location.Every professional is tracked to their location automatically.

You see exactly what is happening at each one.

The larger opportunity

Your network becomes an audience.

1,000 professionals with 100 clients eachis 100,000 clients carrying a Candle from your buildings.

You see the totals, never the people.

Twelve destinations in every Candle.

Four arched doors labeled Keeper, Lightway, Gateway and Doorway

Illustration of the four doors, not a screenshot of the Candle.

KeeperThe professional's door

The professional's own door: booking, services, contact.

LightwaySignal placement

Three positions for approved sponsors.

GatewayEcosystem placement

Three positions for approved sponsors.

DoorwayOperator placement

Three positions for approved sponsors.

The Keeper door belongs to the professional. They can also add Lightway, Gateway or Doorway for $100 a month each. Any door they do not add is open to sponsors, who book through a self-serve marketplace. Nothing appears without approval, and a declined booking is refunded automatically. Your company receives 50% of that sponsorship revenue, or 60% when you bring the sponsor.

Once your network is signed up,sponsorship can earn more than the subscription share.

Every step you ask for loses people.A Candle asks for almost nothing.

Accepted in seconds. Instantly shared.

Getting started

Bring every client in the first month.

Each professional's first month is the subscription only.No extra charges. No limit on clients.

All four doors are open that month too, so every professional sees the full Candle from day one. After that, each plan includes new clients every month.

Saving

Keep this candle.

The client taps once, confirms once, and it lives in their Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. No app, no account, no password.

The professional's name is on it, so they are one tap away from the next booking.

The wallet card

Their name. In every client's Wallet.

Every client saves the professional's Candle as a card with their name, logo and website. Long after the visit, it sits in their Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, so getting back to them is easy.

  • Their name on every card. Each client keeps a CandleMe card that features the professional's salon name.
  • Booking one tap away. Opens the system they already use, such as Vagaro, Square, Boulevard, or GlossGenius. Nothing to switch.
  • Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Matched to each client's phone.
Example design. A CandleMe card that features your business name. The second button is matched to your service. On iOS 26 and earlier, the card shows a simpler layout without these buttons.

Sharing

Scan it. Save it. Share it.

We know of no easier way to pass something on.

No app, no account, no forms. Every share creates a new, unique Candle, permanently linked to the professional who started it.

Geography

See how far every Candle travels.

Every share is recorded: which Candle it came from, and the city, state, and country it reached. Clients can see their own Candle's journey too, which gives them one more reason to come back to it.

Example figures, for illustration only.

Every share makes a new Candle.Its lineage is permanent and cannot be edited.

Privacy

Your list stays confidential.

Each professional claims their Candle by scanning your location QR. If they ever lose the link or change phones, a private recovery page gets it back for them.

You choose what recovery matches on. If you are comfortable sharing them, use their emails or phone numbers. If you prefer to keep contact details private, use only the account numbers they already have with you. Either way, the recovery page returns their own Candle and nothing else.

Their clients stay private too.

  • No client sign-up or ID
  • Each professional sees only their own activity
  • Your company sees totals, never client data

You see the full picture: every location, every professional, every share.Never a client's personal details.

Questions

Questions suite companies ask.

What does it cost our company?

Nothing. Each professional pays for their own Candle, and you receive 40% of that subscription revenue.

How do we get paid?

Monthly, with a clear report by location. You receive 40% of subscription revenue from the professionals in your buildings, plus 50% of sponsorship revenue from the doors they leave open to sponsors, or 60% when you bring the sponsor.

What do you need from us?

Your locations and your list of professionals. If you prefer not to share names or emails, their account numbers alone are enough. We give you the links, and you send them to your professionals directly. You can also share the recovery page or post it somewhere public: a professional enters their account number and picks up their Candle there.

Do our professionals have to change booking software?

No. The Book an Appointment button opens whatever they already use, such as Vagaro, Square, Boulevard, or GlossGenius.

Do their clients need an app or an account?

No. A client scans, taps twice, and the Candle is saved in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. There is no sign-up.

What can we see about clients?

Totals only: every location, every professional, every share. Your company never sees a client's personal details.

What if a professional loses their phone or their link?

A private recovery page returns their own Candle. You choose whether it matches on email, phone, or only the account number they already have with you.

How much work is this for our team?

Very little. We set up each location, support the professionals, and handle billing with them directly.

How fast can we start?

As soon as you confirm your lists. We create one or more QRs per location and a Candle for every professional, ready the moment they scan.

Next step

A short conversation, then a working example.

The fastest way to judge this is to see a Candle built for a working professional, then decide whether a small group in one region is worth trying first.
