FAQ
Questions window film installers · ceramic, carbon, dyed ask
What's the best tint shop software for a single-location shop?+
SalesThumb is the modern pick — built specifically for window film installers, not adapted from a general repair tool. You get film roll inventory in feet, state VLT compliance, AI quote-suggest, automated SMS, customer photo galleries, and a 12-month sales playbook. Plans start at $159/month per shop with a 30-day free trial.
Is SalesThumb a TintWiz alternative?+
Yes — SalesThumb is a direct TintWiz alternative with a substantially deeper feature set. TintWiz nails the visualizer; SalesThumb covers the rest of the shop (scheduling, invoicing, payments, inventory, warranty, marketing, multi-location HQ, AI tools, mobile installer app). See our head-to-head at /compare/tintwiz.
Does it handle multi-location tint chains?+
Yes. The HQ tier adds aggregate dashboards across all shops, royalty calculation, ACH payouts to franchisees, catalog push from HQ to child shops, broadcast messages, and a franchise-sales CRM for development teams.
Can it handle ceramic coating + PPF too if my shop does multiple verticals?+
Yes — SalesThumb is multi-vertical by design. Enable any combination of tint, PPF, ceramic coating, detail, wrap, or general service from your shop settings. The catalog, scheduling lanes, and reporting all flex per vertical.
How does the state VLT compliance work?+
Per-state legal-tint thresholds are built in. When a customer picks a film at quote time, the system checks the front-window, side, and rear VLT minimums for your shop's state. If the selection is out of spec, the system flags it and auto-attaches a signed customer waiver to the invoice. There's also a tint-laws widget you can embed on your booking page so customers see the legal limits before they pick.
Does it integrate with Stripe for online payments?+
Yes. Stripe Connect is built in — customers pay deposits to lock in bookings, full payments via SMS-delivered pay link, tips via the customer photo gallery. Funds settle directly to your shop's bank, not through SalesThumb.
What about SMS reminders + 10DLC compliance?+
Two-way SMS via Twilio is built in. Appointment reminders fire 24h + 1h before. STOP/UNSUBSCRIBE keywords are honored at the carrier level. The setup wizard walks you through 10DLC registration (1-6 weeks carrier review for US sending).
How does pricing compare to TintWiz, ShopMonkey, or OrbisX?+
SalesThumb starts at $159/month per shop. TintWiz starts at ~$89/month for the visualizer-only tier. ShopMonkey starts around $179/month. OrbisX is custom-quoted (typically $200+/month). Detailed plan-by-plan comparison at /pricing.
