StringerPal runs the whole stringing job from drop-off to paid. It works on iPhone, Android and the web, has card payments built in, and starts with a free plan.
Follow each racquet from drop-off to bench to pickup to paid. Due dates and overdue jobs are tracked for you.
Square is built in: charge on a Terminal, a card reader or Tap to Pay on Android, and the job marks itself paid. Or send a Stripe payment link with Apple Pay and Google Pay. Money goes straight to your own account and StringerPal adds no fee on top.
Native iPhone and Android apps plus the web, with lock-screen alerts. Jobs, customers and racquets keep working offline and sync when you are back.
Pick a racquet model and its string pattern, weight and head size fill in. Pal-e, the AI coach, answers stringing pattern and string performance questions.
Customers can drop off a racquet by scanning a QR code, get email updates and leave feedback through a link. You can print receipts and racquet stickers.
The free plan needs no card. Pro adds CSV import and export, so your data is never locked in. Optional two-factor sign-in is included on every plan.
