What closed beta means

A closed beta is a limited test with a small number of real salons. Pankiman is not yet published in the App Store or on Google Play, and it cannot be obtained from either of them. Taking part is by application, and every application is read and answered by a person.

You use Pankiman for real daily work, and you tell us what breaks, what is confusing and what gets in your way. Expect updates during the test, and expect to find rough edges — that is what the test is for.

Because the app is still in testing, keep your own records as well while you take part.

Android + iPhone in the same salon? No problem.

A salon owner can use iPhone while a manager or staff member uses Android. Team members who join the same Pankiman salon work with synchronized salon data across their different phones, according to what their role allows.

Test access is the part that differs. Android and iPhone are enrolled separately, and joining the Google Play test does not give iPhone access.

Android

Android testing runs as a Google Play closed test. There is no public link, and there is nothing to install from this website.

Android test access later needs the email address of the Google account the phone signs in with, because a closed test is tied to that account.

iPhone / iOS

iPhone testing runs through TestFlight, which is Apple’s own app for trying software that is still being tested. There is no public link here either.

iPhone test access later needs the email address used for TestFlight and the App Store, so we can send the invitation to it.

Please do not send either address when you apply. We ask for them only after your salon is accepted, in our reply.

How it works

  1. Apply Tell us about your salon and whether you use Android or iPhone.
  2. Receive test access Android testers are invited to the Google Play closed test. iPhone testers are added to TestFlight by email.
  3. Use Pankiman in real salon work Try customers, appointments, services, staff, work photos and reports.
  4. Send feedback Tell us what works well, what is confusing and what wastes your time.
  5. Get help if you need it In-person help may be arranged in Nha Trang and nearby areas. Vietnamese support by phone or Zalo can also be arranged.

Who we are looking for

  • salon owners, managers and staff — all three are useful testers
  • nail salons, hair salons, barbers, beauty salons and similar small salons
  • a salon that is actually operating, rather than a plan for one
  • willing to use Pankiman for real work rather than only looking at it once
  • able to write to us in English, Vietnamese or Turkish
  • at least one Android phone or one iPhone in the salon

We prefer real salon users over general app testers. You do not have to be the owner — a staff member who uses it every day is exactly who we want to hear from. We cannot accept every salon that applies, and places are limited. Applying does not mean you have been accepted.

What we would like you to try

During the beta we hope you will run Pankiman through a real salon day:

  • sign up and sign in
  • create a salon, or join an existing one
  • add a customer
  • create an appointment
  • record a completed service
  • try recording a payment
  • look at your salon reports
  • send us feedback

There is no checklist to complete and no quota to meet. Use the parts that match your work and tell us how they went.

How to apply

Choose the line that matches your salon. Each button opens an email to [email protected] with the questions already written out — fill in what you can and send it.

Apply — we use Android

Apply — we use iPhone

Apply — we use both

If your device cannot open an email link, write to [email protected] yourself and tell us: your name, your salon name, your city or area, a phone number or Zalo, your role, and whether you use Android, iPhone or both.

To read your application we do not need any customer information, any financial information, any identity document, and no Google or Apple account email.

After you apply

We read every application and reply by email. If your salon is accepted, that reply contains the installation instructions for your platform and asks for the one or two details we then need.

We are a small team and we do not promise a response time, and we cannot promise that every salon will be accepted.

What taking part earns

Salons that actively take part and share practical feedback during the beta receive, after Pankiman launches officially:

  • 3 months free
  • then 25% off for the next 12 months

Sending an application does not by itself qualify for this. It is for salons that actually used Pankiman during the test and told us what they found, and it is decided at the end of the beta.

Never send us anything secret

Taking part in the beta is free, and Pankiman never asks a tester for payment. We will never ask you for any of these, and you should never send them to us or to anyone claiming to be us:

  • a bank password or bank account details
  • a card number, CVV or PIN
  • a Google password or an Apple password
  • a one-time code (OTP) or an authenticator code
  • a recovery code or a recovery link
  • an access token
  • a crypto wallet seed phrase or recovery words
  • any other payment credentials

A message containing any of them will be refused and deleted. If someone asks you for one of these in Pankiman’s name, it is not us.

Help while you take part

For salons in Nha Trang, Cam Ranh, Ninh Hòa and nearby areas in Khánh Hòa, in-person onboarding or help may be arranged. We cannot promise a visit to every applicant, so please ask and we will say what is possible.

For salons further away, Vietnamese support by phone or Zalo can be arranged. Write to [email protected] and we will agree a channel with you in our reply.

Support is in English, Vietnamese or Turkish, whichever you prefer.
