Presence & Booking
Check in, show availability, and keep appointments accurate.
Check in when you are ready
ShopHAND check-in tells the shop who is here and available. Check in on site when you are ready to receive clients; check out when you leave or stop taking walk-ins. A scheduled shift by itself does not place you on the public walk-in board. Availability is tied to a current presence session and your service mode.
Availability can end when the session expires or when the system has clear evidence that you have left. Recheck your status when you return.
What customers see
Public walk-in cards reflect eligible, checked-in providers. Green means available for walk-ins; yellow means checked in but currently occupied; red may indicate tattoo work outside a rent cycle with a recorded consent. A card is an availability signal, not a promise that every service can begin immediately.
Consent for a tattoo can change tattoo availability. A piercer, or someone offering both services, may remain available for piercing when the tattoo side is occupied.
Appointments are confirmed by people
A booking request is an inquiry until the provider confirms the date and time. Keep the appointment and service details in ShopHAND; personal calendar copies are conveniences, while ShopHAND holds the working appointment record. Tell the client directly if a time, price, deposit, or service changes.
