We are launching Seya in Montréal, and we want you to build it with us.
Seya is a booking platform for beauty and wellness services, starting in Montréal. We are working with a first group of studios and independent professionals before opening to clients. If you have been invited, this is what it means.
One city first, before we expand.
A booking platform works when supply and demand grow together. We are focusing our launch on Montréal so that the first clients on Seya find a solid roster of professionals instead of an empty catalog. That means a small founding group, real onboarding support, and a launch we can stand behind.
What founding providers get
Priority placement at launch
Featured placement on the homepage, category pages, and search for the first months after we open to clients, while there is the least competition for attention.
Direct support from our team
You get a real person on email and a private channel for feedback. Profile setup, photos, services, calendar, and Stripe Connect: we walk through it with you.
Verified provider directory
Every provider goes through Stripe Connect KYC and a certification review before going live. Your profile sits next to verified peers.
Setup fee, $49 if you pay early
Seya is free to join with a 12% commission per completed booking and a one-time $79 CAD activation fee, normally taken automatically from your first bookings. Settle it upfront, before your first booking, and you pay just $49 — saving $30.

Common questions
Do I need to be exclusive to Seya?
No. You can keep using your existing tools and channels. Seya adds online discovery and booking, and you stay in control of your calendar.
What does it cost?
Applying is free. Pricing is $0/month with a 12% commission on completed bookings, plus a one-time $79 CAD activation fee taken automatically from your first completed bookings. If you'd rather, you can settle that fee upfront before your first booking for $49 — saving $30.
How are payments handled?
Through Stripe Connect. Clients pay through Seya, and Stripe pays you out on a predictable schedule after our platform fee.
Why a small launch cohort?
We would rather start small in Montréal and grow with professionals we know than open with a long list of unverified businesses.
