One Step Closer to Launch: Stripe Subscriptions + Smart Lockdown Now Live

Today marks a major milestone for BarberCore.uk. After extensive planning, testing, and refinement, the platform now includes a fully integrated subscription system designed specifically for barber shops.

This update is about more than payments. Barber shop owners can now start using BarberCore.uk completely free, with no card required, for up to 100 bookings.

Once that limit is reached, the system smoothly transitions into subscription mode. If a subscription is not completed, booking features are paused automatically, with clear messaging explaining what is happening. There is no confusion and no disruption to the rest of the system.

This approach removes the need for manual follow-ups or awkward conversations. Everything is handled automatically, with a clean and straightforward experience for both barber shop owners and their customers.

The subscription system is designed to be reliable and predictable. Payments, access control, and account status are all handled automatically, giving shop owners peace of mind and full clarity about where they stand.

From a practical point of view, this means you can focus on running your shop without worrying about managing subscriptions, chasing payments, or dealing with unclear system behaviour.

This feature was built to work reliably in real conditions, supporting multiple barber shops independently while keeping the platform fast and stable at all times.

If you are a barber looking to simplify how you manage bookings, payments, and day-to-day operations, BarberCore.uk is built to support you.

The platform is moving steadily toward launch, with an expected release in March 2026. Early access is still available for a limited number of barber shops.

This is another big step forward—and there is more coming.
