- 2It renews on the same day each month
- 3Payments arrive without chasing
A bookings and appointments platform lets customers book a slot and pay online, and pays each business on the platform automatically. It suits salons, clinics, tutors, trainers, repair services and anyone else who sells their time.
How it works
- A business on your platform sets its services, prices and free slots.
- A customer picks a time and pays online.
- The business is paid automatically.
Cut no-shows
Taking payment or a deposit when someone books is one of the simplest ways to cut no-shows. Reminder messages before the appointment and a clear cancellation policy help too.
