Online booking system FAQs

Straight answers for businesses that need more control than a generic appointment widget provides.

What is a custom online booking system?+

A custom online booking system lets customers schedule services or resources using availability and business rules defined for your operation. Unlike a generic widget, it can support specific staff, locations, durations, buffers, deposits, forms and integrations.

Can it show live staff and resource availability?+

Yes. Availability can combine staff working hours with rooms, vehicles, equipment, service duration, notice periods and existing bookings so customers only see valid options.

Can customers pay a deposit when booking?+

Yes. The system can take a deposit or full payment through an established payment provider and keep the payment status attached to the booking. Refund and cancellation rules are agreed during scope.

Can it send booking confirmations and reminders?+

Yes. We can send email or SMS confirmations, reminders, change notices and cancellation updates at the stages your business chooses.

Can it connect to Google Calendar, Microsoft 365 or our CRM?+

Yes, where those systems provide suitable APIs and permissions. We confirm the source of truth for availability and customer records before building the integration.

How much does a custom online booking system cost?+

The cost depends on payments, multi-location availability, resource scheduling and integrations. We define the smallest useful first version and quote it clearly before development starts.
