Strut helps repair shops turn customer loyalty into a paid VIP program without separating membership sales from booking, repair orders, invoices, payments, or CRM.

Paid VIP sales
Verified phone purchase
Staff activation
Invoice discounts
Customer retention
A paid VIP program gives repeat customers a clear reason to choose your shop for future work. Strut keeps the membership connected to the customer record, so the retention offer belongs to the same workflow your team already uses.
Online purchase
Customers do not need to create a separate account to join. They can purchase the VIP membership online, verify by phone, and then book normally with that same verified phone number.
Staff-controlled discounts
VIP discounts are most useful when the shop decides what is eligible. Strut supports staff activation and controlled discount application so eligible invoice and repair-order work can receive the configured rate.
Tenant and admin readiness
VIP membership selling depends on payments readiness and tenant feature configuration. Strut keeps the public VIP purchase flow hidden when it is not enabled, so shops can launch the program intentionally.
