FAQ

Yes. Your branded booking portal embeds directly on your website with a simple code snippet (we handle installation). Clients never leave your site to schedule. You also get direct booking links for email signatures, social media bios, and anywhere else you want to share. Everything looks and feels like part of your brand, not a third-party tool.

Yes. We offer real-time two-way synchronization with:

  • Google Calendar (G Suite/Workspace)
  • Microsoft Outlook/Office 365
  • Apple Calendar (iCloud)

When someone books an appointment, it appears on your calendar instantly. When you block time on your calendar, that time becomes unavailable for booking automatically. You can connect multiple calendars to check availability across all of them.

Absolutely. We integrate with:

  • Stripe (credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay)
  • PayPal
  • Square

You can require:

  • Full payment before booking is confirmed
  • Deposit with balance due at appointment
  • Free booking with optional payment
  • Package or membership-based payments

This dramatically reduces no-shows (financial commitment) and ensures you’re paid for your time.

No. We handle 100% of the technical setup, configuration, and integration. You simply:

  • Tell us your scheduling needs and preferences
  • Approve the design and messaging
  • Start using the system

We provide training and documentation, but the system is intuitive enough that most clients are comfortable within minutes.

Most booking systems launch within 7-10 days:

  • Simple setup (solo practitioner, basic booking): 5-7 days
  • Standard setup (team scheduling, payment integration): 7-10 days
  • Complex setup (multi-location, advanced features): 10-14 days

Rush implementation available if you have urgent deadlines.

Our reminder system sends multiple touchpoints:

  • Immediate confirmation when booked
  • One week before reminder (for advance bookings)

  • 1-hour reminder (optional)
  • Option for clients to confirm attendance

Clients receive reminders via email and/or SMS with:

  • Meeting details and preparation instructions
  • Easy reschedule option if they can’t make it
  • Calendar file to add to their own calendar

This keeps the appointment top-of-mind and gives them opportunity to reschedule rather than no-show. Typical results: 40-50% reduction in no-show rates.

Yes. You can create unlimited appointment types with individual settings:

  • Different durations (15min, 30min, 60min, etc.)

  • Different intake forms and questions
  • Different reminder sequences
  • Different preparation instructions

Example: Free 15min discovery calls vs. paid 60min strategy sessions have completely different configurations.

Clients can easily reschedule or cancel through links provided in confirmation and reminder emails. You set the rules:

  • Cancellation deadline (24 hours, 48 hours, etc.)
  • Refund policy for cancellations
  • Rescheduling limitations (how many times, how far out)
  • Automated waitlist notification when slots open up

This reduces back-and-forth (“Can we reschedule?”) and keeps calendar accurate.
