Step by step

  1. Add your bank account

    In Business › Payments, add the bank account your booking payments should go to.

  2. List your services

    Customers choose from your services so every request is clear.

  3. Share your website link

    Customers tap Book, choose a service and time, and pay to confirm — by card, transfer or USSD.

  4. Keep track

    Every paid booking is saved in your dashboard and calendar. When someone asks on WhatsApp, just send them your booking link.

The problem with booking in DMs

Bookings over chat take many messages: "How much?", "Are you free Saturday?", "Where are you?". Details get lost and customers drop off.

A better way

A booking page collects the service, time, contact details and payment in one go. Customers choose a real free slot themselves — no double-booking — and pay upfront, so they show up.
