How we support the sauna community

Why sauna operators switch to Periode

Fully booked saunas and less admin, so you have time for your guests.

Real people when you need help

When something goes wrong, you need someone to pick up. Our team answers by phone and email, helps you set up and move your data, and stays with you as you grow. Support is included, whatever your size.

Room for every idea you have

Shared sessions, private hire, events, rituals, memberships and new locations are all included. Start with what you need and add the rest when you’re ready, without changing systems.

Trusted every day

Operators book over 2 million seats a year on Periode, and large operators such as Oslo Badstuforening and Community Sauna Baths run on it every day. Periode was founded in 2021.

For one sauna or many

Same software and same support at every stage. Everything is included from day one, and you pay per booking.

  • A personal door code for each booking, so guests let themselves in

Their 2025 annual report

Booking, memberships and door codes in one system

Built together with sauna owners for shared sessions, private hire, members and drop-ins.

Shared sessions and private hire from one calendar

Sell a seat in a communal session or the whole sauna, and a private booking blocks the shared seats automatically.

  • Shared and private sessions that draw on the same capacity
  • Several session lengths, each with its own price
  • Events, rituals and classes next to your regular sessions

Sauna membership software that renews itself

Weekly, monthly and yearly memberships are charged automatically by card, and members get their price when they book.

  • Member prices, members-only sessions and booking limits
  • Binding periods, pausing and gift memberships
  • Punch passes and gift cards that guests spend when they book

Unstaffed saunas: doors that open with the booking

With Inlet or Lokalkontoret locks, each guest gets a door code that only works around their session, and a stove connected to Inlet can heat up ahead of time.

  • A personal door code for each booking, shown on the day
  • Codes released only once the waiver is signed
  • Guests check themselves in with a QR code at the door

How switching works

Questions sauna owners ask us

More answers

Is Periode only for big sauna operators?

No. Single saunas and operators with dozens of saunas use the same software with the same support. You pay per booking, so you can start with one sauna and grow.

How long has Periode been around?

Periode was founded in 2021 and is used by 200+ sauna operators in 13 countries.

What does Periode cost?

You pay one transaction fee on each payment. It covers card processing through Adyen, bank fees and Periode. There is no monthly fee, no setup fee and no add-on fee, and you don’t need a Stripe account. SMS is charged per message. Rates depend on your country and go down as your volume grows.

Can we move from the system we use today?

Yes, and we do the work. We import your bookings, memberships, punch passes and gift cards from any system at no extra cost, then send each customer one email from you so they can claim what they had.

Which payment methods can our guests use?

Payments run through Adyen, so guests can pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and with local methods such as Vipps in Norway, Swish in Sweden and iDEAL in the Netherlands. Memberships can also be paid with Vipps.

Can we keep our own website and brand?

Yes. Your booking pages and emails carry your logo, colours and fonts, and you link or embed them on any website. We can also build and release a branded app for your guests.

Does Periode work with door locks and sauna stoves?

Yes. With Inlet or Lokalkontoret locks, every booking gets its own door code that only works around the session, and guests see it on their booking on the day. A stove connected to Inlet can heat up ahead of booked sessions. Other lock systems can send their codes to Periode through the API.

What kind of support do we get?

Support is included. Email or call us, and we help you set up products, move your data over and answer questions as you grow.
