Automatic social media replies for nail salons
Clients comment PRICE under your sets and get your prices and a Book button by DM.
How it works
An Instagram reel from @glossnailbar showing a nail tech painting a client's nails a deep plum. Its caption says: Comment PRICE for our prices. In the comments, jordan.t writes PRICE, and a reply from glossnailbar, marked Author and sent automatically by VantaPay, says: We sent you a private message.
They comment the word
PRICE under an Instagram reel or a Facebook post. The public reply is optional.
An Instagram direct message from glossnailbar, in reply to the comment, lists Gel Manicure $40, Full Set Acrylic $55, Acrylic Fill $35, with a Book button. The client taps it and answers: Booked for Saturday!
A private message with your prices
Your real services and prices, and a button to book.
The VantaPay Messages inbox lists three conversations: Jordan T. on Instagram tapped Book, Ana P. on Messenger asked about full set acrylic, Dre W. on Instagram left an email that went to Leads.
The thread lands in your inbox
Instagram and Messenger, next to the rest of your clients.
What it does
- The price of the set they're looking at
- The DM lists your services with what you charge — a new nail account comes with Gel Manicure at $40, Full Set Acrylic at $55 and Acrylic Fill at $35, and you change them — with a Book button underneath.
- The full-set deposit, taken on the booking page
- In a new account Full Set Acrylic and Gel Extensions ask a $10 deposit when booked. The DM's button opens that page, so the deposit is charged there, not in the chat.
- Your open times, on a word
- Someone writes the word you choose and gets your next free slots with a button to book one — the Saturday question, answered before the chairs fill.
What it doesn’t do
It answers people who commented or wrote first. It doesn't DM followers cold, doesn't post your sets and doesn't run on WhatsApp yet. Walk-ins who never open Instagram still need your front desk.
Questions
How do I auto-reply Instagram comments for my nail salon?
Pick the words clients leave under your sets, like PRICE, SET or FILL. VantaPay answers each one in their DMs with your real prices and a button to book.
Can it answer every comment under a nail reel automatically?
Every comment that contains a word you picked. The word is matched whole, ignoring capitals and accents, so PRICE, price? and Price all count, and pricey doesn't. The answer goes privately by DM; a short public reply under the comment is optional.
Can it price custom nail art?
It sends what's in your service list, as you wrote it. Art you price at the table can stay out of the list, or go in as a starting price — a DM can't see the design.
If I raise my fill price, does the auto-reply update?
Not by itself. A recipe copies your services and prices as text when you create it, so after you change a price in Services, update the recipe too — or it keeps sending the old one.
Can it message people who only liked my reel?
No. Meta only lets a business answer someone who wrote first — a comment, a message or a story reply — and only inside set time windows. VantaPay applies those rules for you.
Your next set reel already has someone asking how much.
