Questions people ask

What is the easiest way for a small business to take bookings online?
Use a booking page that shows your real availability and lets customers pick a slot themselves. Most small businesses only need one calendar, reminders and a link they can share on WhatsApp or Instagram.
Can customers pay a deposit when they book?
Several booking tools take payment or a deposit at booking. Check that it supports your payment provider before you switch.
Do reminders really reduce no-shows?
Reminders are the most common fix businesses use for no-shows. Send one the day before and let people reschedule from the message.
