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

2Payment

Paid when they book, or the way they prefer

A service can take a card deposit or the full amount by card when it is booked, straight into your own Stripe account. If clients would rather pay by bank transfer or cash, offer those too, and mark them paid in one tap when the money arrives.

3The client

Each booking saves the client, with their history

Everyone who books gets their own client page, with the answers they gave when booking and every visit in date order. Add private notes as you go, and the next time they book you know exactly who they are and where you left off.

4Before the day

A reminder email, with a way to move it

5After the day
