The diary, and the work around it

Looking at alternatives to Setmore? Here is how Soopaspace works: your booking page, bookings and client list are free to start, and one paid plan adds the money side, the admin and the marketing. Here is what a working day looks like when the diary, the payments, the clients and the paperwork live together.

What you get with Soopaspace

  • Bookings, payments, invoices and expenses in one place
  • A client list with notes and history
  • Take deposits and get paid by card, bank transfer or cash
  • One clear UK price for the paid plan

1The diary

A booking page and a diary that keep themselves tidy

Clients book from your page and only see the times you are free. A slot closes the moment it is booked, the buffers you set stay clear, and each booking is sent to your Google or Outlook calendar so it sits beside the rest of your life.

  • Only the times you are free shown
  • A slot closes the moment it is booked
  • A buffer before or after each service
  • Bookings sent to your Google or Outlook calendar

Your booking page: clients pick a day, see only the times you are free, and book in a couple of taps.

2Regulars

Weekly, fortnightly or any gap you choose

A client can choose to book the same time every week when they book. You can set up any other repeat yourself, such as every two weeks, and move or cancel a single visit without touching the rest.

  • Weekly repeats chosen by the client at booking
  • Every two weeks, or any other gap, set by you
  • A reminder email before every visit
  • Move one visit without touching the rest

Repeat bookings: a standing weekly or fortnightly slot booked in one go, so regulars keep their time.

3Getting paid

A deposit at booking, and the rest your way

Set a fixed deposit on any service and it is taken by card at booking through your own Stripe account. Cash and bank transfer sit alongside, chosen for each kind of thing you sell, and marked paid in one tap.

  • A fixed deposit per service, taken by card at booking
  • Card, bank transfer or cash, your choice
  • Card payments straight to your own Stripe account
  • Cash and transfers marked paid in one tap

4Clients

A page for every client

Every client has their own page with every visit in date order, the answers they gave when booking and private notes only you see. It builds itself from the bookings, so the details are there the next time they come.

  • Every visit and what it cost, in date order
  • Answers from booking, kept with the client
  • Private notes on every client, only you see them
  • Win-back emails to clients who agreed to hear from you

5The admin

Invoices, expenses and the tax year, beside the diary

Invoices are made in the same app, with your own details and numbering. A photo of a receipt becomes an expense, mileage sits alongside, and the tax-year summary of your income and expenses downloads as a file for you or your accountant.

  • Invoices with your own details and numbering
  • Expenses from a photo of the receipt
  • Mileage, kept alongside your expenses

What it could mean for you

What changes when it all lives together

Start with bookings

Your booking page, bookings and client list are free to start, so you can set up your page and services before anything else.

One paid plan

The money side, the admin and the marketing come on one paid plan, at one price.

Every booking carries its story

The deposit, the notes and the invoice sit on the booking, so the diary tells you more than a time and a name.

The paperwork as you go

Receipts, mileage and invoices are dealt with on the day, rather than saved up for the end of the year.
