SalesThumb is the modern choice for full-detail shops AND mobile detailers. Public booking page that converts, AI quote-suggest, two-way SMS with auto-triage, customer photo galleries with tip-the-tech, sales playbook for repeat business. Plans from $159/month per shop, 30-day free trial.
Does it work for mobile detailers (no fixed shop location)?+
Yes. Today screen has route-aware sort. Auto-SMS to the next customer fires when the current job hits 80% complete. Customer gets a live tracker URL. Tip-the-tech works via Stripe in the photo gallery — no cash needed.
Can the booking page handle different vehicle sizes + add-ons?+
Yes. Package builder supports size-tiered pricing (compact / sedan / SUV / truck) + add-on multipliers (pet hair, smoke removal, headliner, engine bay, etc.). Customer picks; the page totals + collects the deposit.
Is there a customer-facing app?+
Yes. Customers download SalesThumb and log in with name + phone (passwordless 6-digit SMS code). They see their service history, photo galleries, can rebook in one tap, and tip the detailer. Or they use a magic-link portal from any browser.
How does the tip-the-tech feature work?+
On the customer's post-job photo gallery, a tip jar card shows chip presets ($10 / $20 / $40 / custom). They tap, pay via Stripe, and 100% goes to the shop (no platform cut). Average tip rate is ~22% on shops that opted in. The tip goes through the shop's Stripe Connect account so it lands in your bank, not ours.
Does it integrate with QuickBooks?+
Yes. QuickBooks Online integration is per-shop OAuth. Sync customers, invoices, payments. Daily reconciliation runs automatically.
What about subscription detailing memberships (monthly maintenance plan)?+
Built in. Recurring services in SalesThumb let you sell a monthly maintenance subscription (e.g., $89/mo for a maintenance wash + interior wipe-down). Charges automatically via Stripe; bookings auto-create.
How much does it cost vs Mobile Detail Boss / DetailScope / The Detailers Helper?+
SalesThumb starts at $159/month per shop. Mobile-detailer-specific tools start around the same but typically lack the multi-vertical depth (you can't add ceramic + PPF later without switching tools). DetailScope is custom-quoted. SalesThumb's 30-day free trial lets you compare against your current tool risk-free.
