Set up your first online booking page in an evening

If you take appointments by phone, text and email, a booking page lets clients book themselves at any hour while you work. You can set one up in an evening: list your services, open your hours as slots, share the link. This guide walks through each step for any trade, from coaches and repairers to teachers and therapists.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description shown on your public page. Start with the three to five things clients ask you for, and give each a clear name a client would recognise.

These are examples: use your own services, durations and prices. Leave a price empty to hide it; a price of zero shows as €0.00.

Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity. Give one-to-one appointments one place, and group sessions as many places as you can take. Slots repeat each week on the weekdays you choose until an end date, so a normal week takes minutes. When a slot is full, it leaves your page.

Open your page as a client would and book a slot with your own email. The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note. You receive a new booking email with the note, and the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file. Connect Book to your Google, iPhone or Mac calendar so bookings appear on your phone.

Put the link in your email signature, your social profiles, your business listing and your voicemail message. Reply to booking requests by message with the link.

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the booking from your list. You can also book clients yourself: first and last name are enough, and if you enter their email they get a confirmation with a calendar file. Book doesn't take payments or send reminders. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
