FAQs
Why choose a custom booking system over Calendly or Acuity?
Off-the-shelf tools are great for one person taking one type of booking. Custom booking systems win when you have multiple staff, multiple services, multiple locations, custom pricing rules, deposit handling, or need booking data to sync into your own CRM and accounting.
Can the booking system take payment upfront?
Yes. We integrate with PayFast, Yoco, Peach, and Stripe for full-payment or deposit-based bookings. Refund and cancellation rules are configurable per service.
Does it sync with Google Calendar and Outlook?
Yes. Two-way sync with Google Calendar and Outlook 365 so bookings appear automatically in staff calendars and existing calendar events block out availability.
Can it handle multiple staff members, locations, and services?
Yes. Bookings can be scoped by staff member (with individual availability rules), by location (with location-specific opening hours), and by service (with different duration and pricing per service). Customers see only the combinations that are actually bookable.
Will customers get automated reminders and confirmations?
Yes. Confirmation emails send immediately, reminder emails go out 24 hours and 1 hour before the booking, and post-booking follow-ups can be scheduled. SMS reminders are available via Clickatell or Twilio.
