For music stores
HotGlue runs your lesson studio and your sales floor on one platform, with $0 monthly software fees and payment processing that funds the software. One record for every student, every instrument, every t-shirt.
HotGlue is music store and lesson management software with a $0 monthly software fee because it is funded by payment processing: stores get private lesson and group class scheduling, recurring lesson tuition billing, make-up credits, instrument rental billing, and retail and merch checkout on one shared customer record, plus free migration from MyMusicStaff, Opus1, Fons or Jackrabbit.
Migrating from MyMusicStaff, Opus1, Fons or Jackrabbit? Migration is free and handled for you.
Lesson scheduling, group class enrollment, retail checkout and merch inventory delivered as a single system, not three subscriptions that don't talk.
