Does spotyshine take a commission on my washes?
No. Customers pay you directly at the wash, the way you already take payment. spotyshine doesn't handle the money and takes no cut. Paid plans have a fixed monthly fee, and the Free plan costs nothing.
What do I need to sign up?
An email address and password, or a Google account, plus your trading name, a business phone number and email. A company registration number is optional. Before your first branch goes live we ask for the owner's ID and a proof of address, and we check every business before customers can book it. We delete those documents 30 days after our decision.
What happens when I reach the Free plan's limit?
After 30 completed bookings in a month your branches are hidden from customers and can't take new bookings until the 1st of the next month. Bookings already made still go ahead. You get a warning at 25 and at 30, and upgrading lifts the limit straight away: Starter allows 100 a month, and Growth and Pro have no limit.
What is the launch offer?
Launch offer: businesses that sign up by 17 January 2027 get the Growth plan free for their first 3 months, with no card needed. Afterwards they're on Free unless they choose a plan, and normal rates apply.
How do I pay for Growth or Pro?
In the spotyshine Partner app, through Google Play, monthly or yearly. Paying yearly costs 10 months. You can cancel any time from your Google Play subscriptions.
Can I take mobile washes?
Yes. Each branch can offer walk-in, mobile or both. For mobile washes you set how far you travel and what you charge for it, and your crew can share their live location with the customer while they drive there.
Does my team need the app?
Owners invite managers and staff by email, and each person sees only the branches they work at. Staff use the Partner app on Android. On an iPhone or a computer, the partner portal works in any browser.
Where is spotyshine available?
Across South Africa. Prices are in rands, and opening hours know about South African public holidays.
