No. Add the booking button to any page and set your availability.
Does it work on mobile? +
Yes, customers can book on desktop or mobile.
Can clients reply to the reminder? +
Yes. Clients reply to confirm or cancel — or tap the link in the reminder. To reschedule, they pick a new time on the booking page.
