If customers still call, text, or DM to book, you’re doing extra work. A good booking system should cut back-and-forth, block time correctly, send reminders, and collect payments on time. We set up bookings inside your WordPress site so people can book in a few taps and your team gets a calendar that makes sense.
Customers choose a service, pick a time, and pay—without fuss. They get a confirmation right away and reminders before the appointment so no one forgets. If your policy allows, they can reschedule on their own within the window you set. It feels quick, clear, and reliable.
Your team sees a clean calendar with only the options that matter. Services map to the right staff. You can limit how many bookings happen at once, add buffers between appointments, and block time for lunch or events. Each morning, a short digest sums up the day: who’s coming, what they booked, and what’s needed.
No-shows and last-minute changes hurt your schedule. We build in the rules you already use—deposits or full pre-payment, cancellation windows, automatic reminders, and optional fees for late changes. Customers see the policy before they book. Fewer surprises, fewer awkward conversations.
Everything lives on your site under your domain. That builds trust, keeps branding consistent, and puts content, pricing, and policies in one place. Your service pages and FAQs link straight into the booking flow. If you add a companion phone app later, the same system can power it—no rebuild.

What affects cost? Number of services and locations, advanced capacity logic (classes, shared resources), deposits and fees, SMS setup, and any custom reports or dashboards. We spell this out in a one-page plan before you commit.
Before launch, we run test bookings on phones and laptops with your real services and prices. We switch payments to live mode and stand by while the first bookings come in. Your team gets a short walkthrough and a simple guide for the tasks they’ll do most: approve or edit a booking, issue a refund, block time, and message a customer.
Can customers book multiple services in one go?
Yes. We can allow bundles or back-to-back slots with buffers so staff aren’t double-booked.
What if different staff have different skills and hours?
We map services to staff, set personal hours, and hide options that don’t apply. Customers only see times that work.
Can we handle deposits, tips, and taxes?
Yes. We’ll set clear rules for deposits, optional tips, and proper tax treatment for your location.
We accept walk-ins—does that break the calendar?
No. Staff can add or adjust bookings from the dashboard, and availability updates online right away.
Can customers manage their own bookings?
If you allow it, they can reschedule or cancel within your policy window. You get alerts when they do.
