Collection: SMS Reminder for Shopify → Selling & bookings

You can charge for an appointment at checkout, or take the booking for free and collect payment in person. Either way, bookings themselves are always free — there's no per-booking fee.

Getting paid at checkout

Because appointments are Shopify products, they're paid for through your normal Shopify checkout:

  1. The customer clicks Book Now, picks a time, and enters their name and phone number.

  2. The appointment is added to their cart and they pay at checkout like any other product.

  3. The booking is confirmed once payment goes through, and it appears on your Google Calendar and in your dashboard.

If a customer doesn't complete payment, the time isn't held — so you never lose a slot to an unpaid booking.

Taking free or pay-in-person bookings

Prefer to collect payment in person (or offer a free consultation)? Set the appointment up so there's nothing to pay, and the booking is confirmed as soon as the customer books — no checkout payment required.

Good to know

  • Deposits and partial payments aren't supported yet — a paid appointment is charged at its full price at checkout.

  • Booking stays free even if your SMS reminders are paused — see Plans & billing.
