Online Booking System for Trade Businesses

Q: Is there an ongoing fee after setup?

No monthly fee. The £197 is a one-off setup. The booking system runs on your Google Calendar infrastructure — there’s no extra platform to pay for.

Back-and-forth phone calls to find a mutually convenient time are one of the most avoidable time drains in a small trade business. You call, they don’t answer, they call back, you’re on a job. An online booking system cuts that loop entirely — customers pick a slot directly from your live availability, and the confirmation lands in their inbox automatically.

No new software for you to learn. It connects directly to your Google Calendar. When you’re busy, those slots vanish from the booking page. When you’re available, they appear.

Google Calendar integration. Customer self-booking. Automated confirmations. No ongoing fee. £197 one-off.

How it works

Step 1

Connect your Google Calendar

I link the booking system to your Google Calendar. Your existing busy slots, appointments, and block-outs are respected automatically.

Step 2

Configure your availability

We set your working hours, appointment durations, buffer times, and any services you want customers to choose between (e.g. consultation, full appointment, follow-up).

Step 3

Embed on your website

One snippet of code added to your site and the booking widget goes live. Customers can start booking from that moment.

Frequently asked questions

Do customers need to create an account to book?+

No. They pick a time, enter their name and email, and confirm. No account, no password, no friction.

Can I block out time for lunch, holidays, or busy periods?+

Yes. Block-outs sync automatically from your Google Calendar. Mark anything as busy and that slot disappears from the booking widget immediately — no manual updating needed.

Does it send appointment reminders?+

A confirmation email goes out immediately after booking. For SMS reminders sent the day before, that’s a small add-on — ask me about pricing when we speak.

What calendar does it connect to?+

Google Calendar. If you use Apple Calendar or Outlook, I can usually sync those too via CalDAV — just mention it and I’ll confirm compatibility.

Can customers cancel or reschedule?+

The confirmation email includes a cancellation link. To reschedule, customers book a new slot and cancel the original — straightforward and requires no manual handling from you.

Is there an ongoing fee after setup?+

No. The £197 is a one-off setup fee. The booking system runs on your Google Calendar infrastructure, so there’s no additional platform fee.

Stop the phone-tag. Start taking bookings automatically.
