How it sells itself

Add "Book Now" on any product or service. Convert any product into a booking service in 3 easy steps, just add the product to the app, assign team members, and then schedule availability. App will add a scheduling button on the product to let customers book appointments. Works like Calendly, to take booking on products.

Built for salons, pop-ups, workshops, rentals and fitness — any appointment-based business. Run bookings inside your own Shopify store instead of a third-party site: you charge 0% booking fees no matter the volume, and every customer record stays yours. Guided setup creates your menus, hours and products in about three minutes.

Key points
  • Flexible Setup: Calendar Integrations, Custom Questions, Group Events & more
  • Team Member Support: Add your staff as team members for taking multiple bookings
  • Add Google/Outlook calendars for 2 way sync. Connect Zoom for online meetings.
  • Appointments cancellation & rescheduling flow without manual intervention.
  • Shopifyの決済フローをそのまま活用。前払い設定によりキャンセルを未然に防ぎ、予約と同時に売上を確定させることでキャッシュフローを安定させます。
  • リソースの種類を問わず登録でき、曜日別のシフトや特定日の例外設定も自在。複数店舗の稼働状況も一目で把握でき、複雑な予約調整業務を大幅に効率化します。
  • Shopifyのロケーション情報と同期し、拠点ごとのスタッフやスケジュールを個別に管理可能。全拠点の状況を一つの画面で把握でき、ビジネスの拡大をサポートします。
