Booked while you work.

Customers book the times you are really free, from their phone, and get reminded before they come.

An example of the Bookings diary for a salon on a Thursday: two stylists' appointments through the day, an hour kept free by one stylist's own calendar, and a new booking that just came in online.

They book from their phone.

Your booking page offers only the times you are really free, in their own time zone. They pick one and it is booked.

An example booking page on a phone: a 90-minute color and cut with Anna, the days of the week ahead, the open start times on Thursday in the customer's own time zone, and a button that books it with a deposit.

Reminders that stop no-shows.

A confirmation at once, then reminders at the times you choose, each with a link to move it if plans change.

An example booking's history: booked online, confirmed with a calendar invite, reminded a day before, moved half an hour earlier by the customer from the reminder's link, and reminded again two hours before.

Paid before they sit down.

Ask for a deposit or the full price when they book. It goes to your own Stripe, and a booking left unpaid gives its time back.

An example booking's money: the deposit paid by card when it was booked, the rest due on the day, into the business's own Stripe account.

Never double-booked.

Add your Google, Apple or Outlook calendar and your own plans keep customers off, with a gap after each booking if you want one.

An example morning in one stylist's diary: a booking, a fifteen-minute clean-up after it, a dentist appointment from her Google calendar that customers cannot book over, and the next booking after it.

What Bookings does

What a full diary needs once it is full.

  • Staff and roomsEach person, chair or room keeps its own hours, so none is ever booked twice.
  • ClassesGroup sessions with a set number of places, booked like any appointment.
  • Repeat visitsThe same appointment every few weeks, booked in one go.
  • Questions up frontAsk what you need to know before they arrive, for one service or all of them.
  • Approve firstTake requests you confirm yourself before anything is booked.
  • On their profileEvery booking sits on the customer's profile, beside their invoices and messages.

Before you start

Can customers book on my website?

Yes. Add the booking section to your CustoDesk website, or link to your booking page from anywhere. It can run on your own domain too.

Can I take a deposit?

Yes, service by service: a deposit, the full price, or nothing up front. It is paid by card into your own Stripe account.

What if they need to move it?

Every confirmation and reminder has a link to move or cancel it, up to the cutoff you set and under your own cancellation policy.

Does it work with my Google Calendar?

Yes. Add your Google, Apple or Outlook calendar and your busy times keep customers off. Your bookings can show in your phone's calendar too.

Can my whole team take bookings?

Yes. Each person has their own hours and services, and adding people never costs more.
