What is HotGlue?

HotGlue is management software for dance studios, martial arts schools and music stores that costs $0 per month because it is funded by payment processing instead of a subscription. Each business gets registration and enrollment, automated recurring billing, digital waivers, reporting and a family portal, plus free white-glove migration from its existing software.

Common questions

How can the software be free?

Every studio, school and store already pays to accept cards. HotGlue is funded by that processing revenue, so the software itself carries no monthly subscription. On the Advantage plan, processing costs are built into your listed prices, so you net the full amount you charge.

Which businesses is HotGlue built for?

Dance studios, martial arts schools, and music stores that offer private lessons or group classes and also sell merch, instruments or rentals. Each industry has its own version of the platform with the right billing, scheduling and inventory tools.

How long does it take to switch?

Most businesses go live in about 48 hours. Migration of students, schedules, billing plans and stored payment methods is free and handled for you, with no contracts and no setup fees.
