Best website for tarot readers: where to book and sell readings online
Published · Comparisons
The best website for a tarot reader sells each kind of reading at its own price, takes payment before you read, and has room for courses or a membership when you're ready. Squarespace with Acuity Scheduling does that if you want to design and run it yourself, Stan Store suits readers who sell straight from an Instagram bio, and a paid Calendly link works if all you sell is live calls. CloserAccess builds the whole site for you, or lets you set it up yourself for free.

What a tarot reader's website has to do
Most readers start with a link in their bio and a few DMs. The site you move to should handle the things those DMs handle now.
- More than one format. A live reading needs a time slot. A recorded reading or a message reading doesn't, but it still needs a price, a payment and a way to collect the client's question.
- Payment before you read. Chasing money after a reading is awkward. Every option below can take it up front.
- Packages. A run of sessions sold together, at one price.
- What you teach. Courses for people who want to read their own cards or chart, and a membership for people who want to stay close.
- A home for your bio link. One link that leads to everything.
- Who you are. People booking a reading want to know who is reading for them and how you work before they pay.
What each option costs
Squarespace plans run $19 to $99 a month billed yearly, or $25 to $139 billed monthly. Basic takes 2% on online store sales, including services; Core and up take 0%. Courses and memberships carry their own fee: 7% on Basic, 5% on Core, 1% on Plus and 0% on Advanced.
Squarespace's booking tool is Acuity Scheduling, which has its own plans: Starter is $16 a month billed yearly or $20 monthly, and Standard is $27 or $34. Squarespace's page notes that Acuity's payment processors are separate from the ones you use in Squarespace. As an example, Squarespace Core plus Acuity Starter, both billed yearly, comes to $45 a month before tax and card fees.
Stan Store has no free plan. Creator costs $29 a month or $300 a year, and Creator Pro costs $99 a month or $948 a year. Stan's fees article says Stan takes 0% of sales. US card payments through Stripe cost 2.9% + $0.30, plus 1.5% when the customer is in another country, and each payout costs 0.25% + $0.25 (at least $1). PayPal payments cost 3.49% plus a fixed fee.
Calendly takes payments from its Standard plan, at $10 a seat a month billed yearly or $12 monthly. You connect Stripe or PayPal, and Calendly adds no fee of its own. You'd keep a free link page in your bio and point it at your Calendly page.
CloserAccess has two ways in:
- Build it yourself, free. No monthly fee, no setup cost and no card to start. Your site lives at yourname.closeraccess.com. A platform fee applies only when a customer pays you, at a rate CloserAccess doesn't publish (ask before you start), and it shows as its own line on each transaction.
- Have the CloserAccess team build it. The Starter Website, Premium Website and Digital Master packages each come with a fixed price, quoted before any work starts, with the fee rate set in your quote.
Card payments run through your own Square account at Square's own rate. The money settles to your Square account, and CloserAccess doesn't mark processing up.
Live, recorded and message readings
This is where the options differ most for a reader.
- Squarespace with Acuity: Acuity books live readings with Google Meet, Zoom or GoToMeeting, and takes a deposit or full payment when the client books. It can also save a card to charge for a missed appointment. A recorded or written reading can be sold as a service in the Squarespace store, which sells physical products, services and digital products.
- Stan Store: the Coaching Call product takes a price, connects to your Google Calendar and Zoom, and sends the meeting invite. Payment plans and discount codes on it need Creator Pro.
- Calendly: each live reading becomes a paid event type, and meeting packages sell prepaid bundles. Calendly is built around meetings, so a recorded or message reading has no natural place in it. Its payment links, which could cover one, come with Standard and up, according to its help center.
- CloserAccess: each reading is its own service, with its own page and price, whether it's a recorded video, a message or a live video call. Live sessions are booked by time slot, and a service can also take a deposit up front. A booked service can run as a video call, and Meeting Reports writes an AI recap from the call's transcript afterward, which is handy for your own session notes.
Packages, courses and memberships
Selling what you know, not only your time, is how a lot of readers even out a slow month.
- Squarespace: courses, memberships and subscriptions on every plan, with the fee falling as the plan price rises. Acuity's packages and memberships start on its Standard plan.
- Stan Store: the $29 Creator plan includes an online course builder, recurring subscriptions and community features. Email broadcasts and email flows need Creator Pro.
- Calendly: meeting packages for prepaid sessions. Its pricing page lists no courses or memberships.
- CloserAccess: courses with enrollments and memberships with tiers are built in, next to your readings. The Star Quality Project, for example, sells its three cycle-breaking sessions together as the Cycle Breaking Arc, for $222.

Your address, your money, your client list
- Squarespace runs on your own domain, and annual plans include a free domain for the first year.
- Stan Store puts Creator and Creator Pro stores at stan.store/yourusername. Its custom domain article says your own domain needs Creator Max, at $299 a month, which Stan says hasn't been released to all creators yet.
- Calendly gives you a booking page. The payments FAQ says money goes straight to your Stripe or PayPal account, and refunds happen there.
- CloserAccess runs on your own domain with a team build, or yourname.closeraccess.com on the free route. Payments settle to your own Square account and your client list sits in your admin. The pricing FAQ says: "Your domain stays yours. Your content stays yours."
Getting found
Most readers are found on social media first, and that won't change. A website adds search. People look for things like "love tarot reading" or "birth chart reading online," and a page for each reading, with its price and what the client gets, gives that search a place to land. A blog adds more ways in.
A website also gives your bio link somewhere better to go. Every CloserAccess site can have a links page at /links that sits on the same site as your bookings and courses. If you're deciding between a link page and a full site, our post on Linktree vs a real website walks through it.
Who builds it and keeps it running
Squarespace, Stan Store and Calendly are do-it-yourself. Squarespace has a drag-and-drop editor and leaves the design to you. Stan is a storefront you fill with products. Calendly is a booking page you set up once.
CloserAccess can be self-serve too: pick a template and launch the same day. Or the team builds it. Starter sites can launch in a few days, and Premium and Digital Master usually take one to three weeks. After launch you change readings, prices and posts from one dashboard.
Honest limits worth knowing:
- No drag-and-drop editor. You edit pages through form fields with a live preview, and bigger design changes go to the team.
- Square only, no PayPal. Squarespace, Stan and Calendly all take PayPal.
- US dollars only. Checkout is in US dollars, which matters if many of your clients live abroad and expect to pay in their own currency.
When Squarespace, Stan or Calendly is the better choice
- Squarespace with Acuity is the better pick if you want to design every page yourself, need saved-card fees for missed live readings, or want clients to pay with PayPal.
- Stan Store is the better pick if your business lives on Instagram or TikTok, you're happy at a stan.store address, and you want one flat monthly price with no Stan cut of sales.
- Calendly is the better pick if you only sell live readings, already have a link page or site you like, and want the booking to sync with your Google or Outlook calendar.
CloserAccess is the better pick if you want every format, your courses, a membership and a links page on one site with your own name on it, and you'd rather someone else built it. See the packages and pricing, or start a free site yourself.
Three CloserAccess sites to look at
The Star Quality Project is an online tarot and astrology practice, and its site is a good model for a reader. Readings come in three formats. Recorded tarot readings start at $22, and the Love Tarot Session, for one, arrives as a recorded video within 48 hours. The Same Day DM Session ($25) arrives by message within 24 hours of payment. The Live Deep-Dive Session ($88) is a live one-on-one video call. Three sessions on breaking old patterns can be booked together as the Cycle Breaking Arc for $222. The courses run from a free starter course with 8 lessons to a $22 tarot course with 83 lessons, and the site offers membership plans. It even has a live sky map that shows where the planets are right now. Read The Star Quality Project's story.
Jiton The Realtor's website isn't a reading practice, but it shows a pattern readers can borrow: two free 30-minute video calls anyone can book right away, as the first step. Read Jiton's story.
Reyna By Design sells one thing, a $35 digital memoir that's read in the browser on her site, through its courses page. The title chapter is free to read before you buy. If you write, it shows how a book can sit on the same kind of site as your readings. Read Reyna's story.
