Slotbook gives you both sides: an owner app for running the business and a public mini website for customers. No customer app to install, no customer account to create.

Claim your address

Type your business name and get a clean link. Your QR code is ready to print for the counter instantly.

02

Set your rules

Define your timezone, opening times, closed days, holidays, services, and prices. Customers see times in your business schedule.

Accept and confirm

Requests land in your dashboard. One tap to accept, and the customer gets confirmation, reminders and a secure cancellation link. WhatsApp delivery is coming soon with Pro.

Questions owners ask

Before you put your link on the counter

Short answers for the practical things that matter when bookings become part of your day.

What exactly does every business get?

Every business gets a private Slotbook workspace that works like an app, plus a public mini website with its own booking link and QR code. Use the workspace to manage bookings, calendar, services, customers and daily operations. The Free plan includes both.

Is the business app really free forever?

Yes. The Free plan is not a trial. Your workspace, public mini website and core booking features remain available free forever, with a limit of 50 new bookings per month.

What businesses can use Slotbook?

Slotbook is built for salons, barbershops, gyms, personal trainers, clinics, tutors, nail bars and other appointment-based small businesses.

Do my customers need a Slotbook account?

No. Customers book with their name, email and mobile number. There is no customer app, password or account to create.

Can I use Slotbook internationally?

Yes. Each business chooses its own timezone, so booking times, reminders and confirmations follow the business schedule wherever it operates.

Does Slotbook have a mobile app?

Slotbook is installable as a Progressive Web App, so owners can manage bookings from a phone, tablet or computer.

What happens when I reach 50 bookings on Free?

Your existing page and booking history stay available. New booking requests pause for the month, and booking opens again at the start of the next month. Upgrade to Pro when you need unlimited bookings.

Can I export my bookings and leave?

Yes. Pro includes CSV export for bookings and customers, so you can keep a copy of your business data if you stop using Slotbook.

How quickly is Pro activated?

After Paddle confirms payment, Pro activates automatically. Create your account and business first; existing owners can start checkout from their dashboard.

What does Pro cost?

Pro is US$20 per month or US$180 per year, equivalent to US$15 per month. Choose the billing period at checkout.

Can customers cancel an appointment?

Yes. Every booking confirmation includes a secure cancellation link. When a future booking is cancelled, the slot becomes available again.
