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.
A reviewed launch cohort
Seya reviews every application before granting dashboard access, and providers connect Stripe before they can be paid. Seya does not verify or certify professional qualifications.
Founding Provider Activation
Preparing your business is free. Founding Provider activation is a one-time CA$99 payment, provided in full as CA$99 of Seya commission credit, which is applied against Seya's commission on eligible bookings until it is used up. Seya's standard commission is 17% per completed booking.
Who we are inviting
We are looking for studios and independent professionals in Montréal whose work we would recommend to a friend. The bar is consistency, professionalism, and a clear service offering, not size or follower count.

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 and preparing your business are free. Founding Provider activation is a one-time CA$99 payment that opens separately before Seya's Montréal client launch, and the full amount comes back as CA$99 of Seya commission credit. Seya's standard commission is 17% per completed booking, and there is no monthly subscription.
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 businesses we have never reviewed.
