A sauna website needs three things: a page that says what the sessions are and how a visit works, a way to take a seat without phoning reception, and a session that closes itself when the last bench space goes. Posato is a service that rebuilds the site you already have with all three built in, and you approve it before it replaces anything.
A sauna site usually assumes its reader already knows the place. Someone planning a first visit turns up with other questions: is today textile-free or a swimwear day, when the next Aufguss starts and whether the door stays shut once it has, and whether towels come with it. Answer those on the page, put a way to book under them, and the rest is decoration. Four things carry it:
Ask Google, ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity for a sauna in your town and they go looking for those same details. Put them on the page once and you have answered the visitor and the assistant in one go.
A sauna session is a room, not an appointment slot for one person. What counts is how many places there are on the benches, and once they are gone the session should shut rather than send people to a full cabin. Most saunas hold that number at the desk or in an Instagram story with the day's Aufguss times. Here the session itself is what gets booked:
Nothing shows on the site that you have not opened. Bookings arrive in your back office, the session list builds itself, and the visitor gets a confirmation you never had to type.
Some saunas want the visit paid the moment the seat goes. A private booking of the whole cabin usually needs a word first. Both live on the same settings screen, and the two cards here spell out what each one means for the visitor.
Stripe takes the money the moment the place is claimed, and that seat comes out of circulation. Payment and the roll for that session sit on one screen, and if you have to close the cabin you refund each booking from there, in full or in part. Every visit is paid when it is booked, and our 5% comes off what the visitor paid.
No card, nothing charged. A couple or a group asks for the whole sauna on a Saturday evening; the request waits in your back office and the block stays reserved until you say yes. Worth using when a private booking shuts the cabin to everyone else, and when the group size changes your answer. A cancellation policy with a deadline and a penalty sits behind it.
You send the address of the site you have now, on Wix, Squarespace, WordPress or a wellness platform you have outgrown, and we rebuild it on a private preview link. Your current site stays live and keeps taking bookings until you approve the new one; the three steps are on the home page.
While the beta is open there is no subscription and no build fee. When someone pays for a session through your site, we take a 5% commission on that payment. A quiet Tuesday costs nothing. That is how we make money; the rest is in the questions on the home page.
It stops taking bookings. The number of places you set is a hard ceiling, not a guideline, so the last seat closes that session and nobody turns up to a cabin with nowhere to sit.
Yes. A women-only morning is set up as a separate service, so the weekday hours, the number of places and the price all belong to it alone. Weekday afternoons can also cost less than a Saturday, and an early-bird rate is possible.
Yes. Add-ons are set per person or per group, so a towel each and one bathrobe for the pair are both possible. They are paid with the booking, and they show on the list for that session.
Not yet. The site sells one visit at a time, so a strip card or a yearly pass has nowhere to live in it today. Single visits, Aufguss sessions and private bookings all work now.
