Why Aura
Free app.
Payments optional.
The Aura app is free, with no subscription fee. You pay a processing fee only when a payment goes through Aura, online or with Tap to Pay. Cash and bank transfer records cost nothing, because Aura doesn't process them.
Create, move and cancel bookings from one calendar.
Tap to Pay, online card payments, or cash and bank transfer recorded.
Same-day settlement for eligible payments, into your transaction account with our payments partner.
Client records kept beside every booking.
1.40% + A$0.15 per transaction incl. GST, the same rate online and with Tap to Pay.
Australian support over live chat, with email as backup.
Features
A Tuesday, start to finish.
Here's a made-up Tuesday across four sole traders. Every card on this page is an illustration with invented businesses and first names, not a screenshot.
7:00 AM
A new booking lands before the kettle's boiled.
Clients book from your public booking page, as guests, with no account needed. Services, add-ons, categories and per-service pricing flow through from your setup, and every booking sits beside the client's record. Clients can sign in with an email code to see their own bookings.

10:30 AM
Priya's running late. Drag her booking to 11.
Move a booking by dragging it to a new time. Day, week, month and year views, working hours you set, and event colours so your week reads at a glance. Create, move and cancel from the same calendar.
