Worked example
One salon, one month
A 3-person salon in Phnom Penh: 120 bookings a month at $12 average, 30 of them first-time customers who found the shop through the marketplace.
Boost is optional, but it is how Booksy sends you new clients. Turn it off and you keep the 30%, but you also lose the discovery the marketplace was for.

Why partners pick KOKSIN
The local-first stack.
Built around Cambodian payments
ABA PayWay is integrated end to end. Deposits come from ABA Mobile, and KHQR covers every other Cambodian bank. No card networks in the way.
Bilingual interface (Khmer + English)
Customers and partners switch freely between Khmer and English. Service names and confirmations follow the language each user picks.
Local-currency pricing
Set prices in USD or KHR, the same currency you already quote in. No conversion surprises at checkout.
Verified partners
Every partner is reviewed by our team before going live. Real address, real staff, real services.
Group sessions out of the box
Yoga, pilates, group fitness, couple's massage. Capacity-aware seats with automatic reminders, not a workaround on 1:1 bookings.
Telegram alerts for staff
Bookings, cancellations, and reschedules land in your team's Telegram chat, the messenger Cambodians already use.
When Booksy is the better choice
We'd rather say it here than have you find out after migrating.
You operate in several countries. Booksy operates across Europe and the US. KOKSIN is Cambodia only, so a regional chain needs one system across borders.
You want a large existing consumer audience. Booksy's app has years of consumer install base in its core markets. Ours is new and Cambodia only.
You rely on its marketing automation. Campaign tooling and no-show fee automation are more built out there.
Moving across
You can run both while you switch. Nothing is cut off.
Apply and get verified. Two to three working days, with no commitment and no setup fee.
We move your services and hours. Onboarding copies your service list, prices, staff, and opening hours across for you.
Run both for a month. Keep your existing calendar live and compare a real month before you cancel anything.
