You keep your booking system.

Booking and cards stay put.

No POS upgrade required.

The foundation

Compliance isn't a feature. It's the whole reason you can text at all.

Provable consent

Every opt-in is captured with proof — the artifact a carrier or regulator would ask for.

10DLC, automated

We register your A2P campaign for you. Carriers block unregistered senders; we make sure you're not one.

STOP, instantly

Opt-outs are honored the moment they arrive, on every channel — never lost to a queue.

Quiet hours, always

Nothing sends outside legal hours in your customer's local day. Deferred, not dropped.

Pricing

Every feature on every plan

You're paying for outcomes, not unlocks. Tiered on contacts and texts; email included everywhere.

Questions

The things everyone asks first

Is texting my customers legal?
Yes, when it's done right — and doing it right is the whole point. Waveship registers your A2P 10DLC campaign for you, captures provable consent on every opt-in, honors STOP instantly, and only sends inside legal quiet hours. Nothing bypasses that check.
What is A2P 10DLC, and do I have to deal with it?
It's the carrier registration every business texting program now needs. Carriers block unregistered senders. We automate the registration during onboarding so you never touch The Campaign Registry.
Does the AI send messages on its own?
It sends the programs you approved. Campaigns and automations are written in your voice and held until you review the copy and turn them on — then they run. Inbound replies (and public review replies) are drafted one at a time and wait for your tap. The one fixed exception is the instant text back after a missed call: a template you preapprove, not AI. Every send still clears consent, STOP, 10DLC, and quiet hours.
Does everyone get the same text on the same day?
No. You approve one playbook; each customer gets it on their own clock. Someone who comes in every four weeks gets the rebook text at four weeks. Someone on a six-week cut gets it at six. Win-back uses their window, not a shop-wide 90 days. First name goes in. A blast schedule does not.
If I miss a call, can I really text the person back?
Yes. Replying to a customer who just called you is a conversation, not marketing — so the instant text-back is allowed, and it still honors STOP and your registration. It just isn't gated behind a marketing opt-in. If the chat turns into promotions, that's a separate opt-in we capture properly.
Do I have to switch my booking or POS system?
No — Waveship works alongside your scheduler and never replaces it. For tools with an open calendar (Google Calendar, Square Appointments, and more over time) it reads your calendar to time messages automatically; for the rest, you import your client list once and we keep the list and the marketing running from there.
Is this just appointment reminders?
No. Reminders fire after they booked. Waveship texts the next booking — and the campaign that fills a slow week. Keep your scheduler; we run the marketing.
What counts against my plan — contacts or messages?
Both, generously. Plans are tiered on contacts and monthly texts; email is included. Overage texts are a few cents each, and credits roll over one cycle.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Your list is yours — export it whenever you like. No contracts; monthly or annual (annual saves two months).
