Frequently asked questions

Short answers about online booking, reminders, no-shows, calendar sync, team scheduling and subscriptions.

How does the online booking page work?
You get a public booking page with its own address that you can drop on your site, in your bio or in Google. Clients see your live availability and book themselves 24/7, with no phone calls needed.
How do SMS and email reminders reduce no-shows?
Every confirmed appointment triggers automatic SMS and email reminders before the visit. Clients can confirm or reschedule in one tap, and attendance rises sharply versus manually tracked bookings.
Can I sync appointments with Google Calendar or Outlook?
Yes. The calendar syncs two-way with Google Calendar and Outlook, so busy slots in your personal agenda automatically block booking slots — no double-bookings.
Can I manage scheduling for a team of specialists?
Yes. Each specialist has their own calendar, services and working hours. Clients pick the person they want, or the system assigns one automatically by availability.
If I have multiple locations, can I run them from one account?
Yes. You can set up several locations with separate hours, services and teams, all managed from a single account. Clients choose the convenient location when they book.
Can clients pay online when they book?
Yes. You can collect a full payment or a deposit at the time of booking, straight from the card. This cuts no-shows and gets you paid before the service happens.
Can clients reschedule or cancel on their own?
Yes. Each confirmation contains a self-service link to reschedule or cancel within the rules you set, freeing the slot for someone else automatically.
Do you send a confirmation right after booking?
Yes. The client receives an instant confirmation by email and SMS, with the date, time, service and location added straight to their calendar.
How do I pay the subscription?
By card. After the first payment, the subscription auto-renews monthly or annually depending on the plan you pick.
Do you have an affiliate program?
Yes. Sign up to get a unique link/coupon and earn recurring commissions from the booking subscriptions of the businesses you refer.
