● Synced to Google Calendar

Booking on Shopify shouldn’t cost you a subscription just to sync a calendar

Most service merchants lose hours to email back-and-forth and double-bookings. And most booking apps make you pay before you can even sync your calendar or take more than a handful of bookings. We think the basics should be free.

Free forever

What you get free

Unlimited bookings

No monthly booking cap. Take as many appointments as you can handle.

Two-way Google Calendar sync

Book on the store, it lands on your calendar. Block time on your calendar, the store hides it.

Book and pay through Shopify

Customers pick a time and check out in your store, so payment lands where it already does.

A Book Now button on your store

Turn any product into a booking page in minutes. Book Now replaces Add to Cart, no code.

Customer self-scheduling, 24/7

Customers pick a time on desktop or mobile and book themselves in.

Custom appointment types

Set durations, buffers, and notice periods per service.

Included, not an upgrade

Bookings that fit how you actually work

Set your real hours, how long each service takes, and how much notice you need. Customers only ever see times you can genuinely take, and time you block on Google Calendar disappears from the store.

Per-service durations, so a 30-minute check-in and a 90-minute session each book correctly
Buffer time between appointments for cleanup, notes, or travel
Minimum notice, so nobody books you five minutes out
