How to create a complete online booking system for my business
Booking page + calendar + notifications + payments + reports — all set up step by step.
Special questions
A complete online booking system covers the entire flow: the client books, the system confirms, sends reminders and collects payment, you deliver the service and generate reports. Here’s how to set it up step by step.
Step 1 — Create the account and set up the business profile: name, address, logo, working hours, services with duration and prices, employees (if you have several). This takes 15–30 minutes the first time.
Step 2 — Enable online payments: connect Stripe or another payment processor, set the deposit for the services you want and the cancellation policy. Clients can pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Step 3 — Set up automatic notifications: confirmation at booking, a reminder at 24h, a reminder at 2h, an optional post-appointment message. Customise the text in your brand voice.
Step 4 — Share the booking link: on your website (button or widget), in your Instagram bio, on Google My Business, in your email signature. You can also generate a QR code for physical display. From now on, clients book themselves.
