A website with online booking

Your customers want to book at 10 pm, without phoning. A website with online booking takes appointments for you, sends reminders and cuts down on missed appointments.

The answer

Online booking in 30 seconds

In short

A website with online booking shows your free slots in real time. The customer chooses a service and a time, leaves their details and receives a confirmation. Automatic reminders by text or email reduce missed appointments. You can ask for a payment when customers book, but how the law treats money paid in advance depends on your country: state the terms clearly.

Live slots

Only free times are offered.

Instant confirmation

The customer receives a summary.

Automatic reminders

The day before or a few hours ahead.

Payment possible

Deposit or part payment, stated upfront.

The journey

The customer journey

The fewer the steps, the more bookings you get.

Deposit or part payment

Asking for a payment: deposit or part payment?

How the law treats money paid in advance depends on your country. Write down clearly what you are asking for and what happens if either side cancels.

Example: 20 appointments a week, 2 no-shows avoided at €45 each, that is €90 of turnover protected every week. Illustrative figures.

The rules

What to plan for

A few points to have checked for your type of business.

Personal data

Collect only what is strictly necessary and inform the customer in your privacy policy.

Reminders and advertising

An appointment reminder is not marketing. For promotional texts, follow your country's rules on marketing and consent.

Terms

Cancellation, lateness, payment: in writing before the booking.

Accessibility

In the EU, micro-enterprises are exempt, but a website everyone can read brings in more.

FAQ

Your questions, our answers

How do I add online booking to my website?

With a calendar module linked to the website that shows free slots and sends confirmations.

Does a text reminder reduce no-shows?

Yes, it is one of the most widely used ways to limit missed appointments, although no tool eliminates them all.

Can I ask for a deposit when customers book?

Yes, if you say so before they book. Spell out what the payment is and what happens if the customer cancels, as the rules depend on your country.

Do I need the customer's consent to send a reminder text?

A reminder linked to the appointment is not marketing. For promotional texts, follow your country's rules on marketing and consent.

How much does a website with online booking cost?

It depends on the features. Our website packages are shown further up this page.
