What is RingUps?
The system a bridal boutique runs its whole business on: appointments, gowns, special orders, deposits, alterations and reporting, all in one place instead of a till plus a spreadsheet plus a whiteboard.
Four things, one system
What a bridal store actually needs software to do
A regular retail system was built for a shelf, not a dress that's ordered four months before the wedding. RingUps was built around these four, first.
Special orders that don't go quiet
RingUps counts backward from the wedding date so you know a gown is running late before the bride calls. It also refuses to place an order that doesn't match the dye lot already on file, unless someone says to anyway.
Special orders & designers →Deposits that show up as what they are
A deposit taken in March for a gown delivered in September isn't income yet. RingUps holds it correctly and counts it as revenue on delivery day, so your books match what actually happened.
Payments & revenue →A workroom with one screen, not four
The queue, the seamstress, the fitting dates — together. Most bridal software has never given the workroom a screen of its own; RingUps did.
Alterations workroom →Appointments that book themselves
A bride can book straight from your own booking page. Every confirmation, reminder and follow-up email goes out on its own, and you can see exactly what was sent to who.

What it actually looks like
Real screens, not a mockup of what we might build someday.
How it works
From "I'll take it" to pickup day
-
1
She books
Online, or at the counter. Her wedding date lands on her record, and every deadline that follows is worked out from it automatically.
-
2
She says yes, you take a deposit
On your own processor, at your own rate. RingUps holds it correctly until the gown is delivered.
-
3
You order the gown
RingUps works out the latest date it can arrive and still leave room for alterations, and stops a dye-lot mismatch before it becomes a photograph you can't take back.
-
4
It arrives, and goes to the workroom
Checked in, assigned, fitted, on one screen the whole store can see. The balance comes due at pickup.
What comes off the wall
Five things you get to stop maintaining by hand
The spreadsheet of must-arrive-by dates only one person keeps updated.
The whiteboard in the workroom listing who's sewing what.
The second app you pay for just to handle appointments.
The notebook of deposits, because the till counted them as sales in March.
The per-seat bill that decides how many of your staff get to log in.
Questions and answers
What owners ask first
Who is it for?
Independent bridal boutiques and small multi-location groups. It was built by the owners of Cande Bridal Boutique in Kelowna, British Columbia — a real store that runs on it every day.
What does it cost?
$99, $199 or $349 a month. Every day-to-day tool — appointments, gowns, alterations, payment plans, staff training — is included from the first plan. Staff logins are unlimited, so hiring never raises the bill.
See what's in each plan →Can I bring my data across?
Yes — RingUps does the move for you. Cande Bridal Boutique brought 2,902 brides, 3,820 appointments and 1,391 orders across in one weekend. Every import can be undone by batch if something looks off.
How a migration weekend runs →Does it replace my point of sale?
For the bridal side of the store, yes — checkout, contracts, deposit schedules and the ledger all run in RingUps. Keep the payment processor and the rate you already have; RingUps doesn't charge you extra for it.
Proof, not a promise
This isn't a concept. A real store has been running on it since the migration.
Moving Cande Bridal Boutique off its old system caught $141,807.75 in reversed charges its old exports had been reading as real money owed, and 228 orders that got skipped rather than guessed at. The full story, including what we found and what we told the owner not to collect on, is on the case study.
