No. Add the booking button to any page and set your availability.
Does it work on mobile? +

How do customers pay? +
Through your Shopify checkout, the same way they buy anything else in your store. The product you link to the service sets the price. Prefer to charge in person? Set it free.
How does calendar sync work? +
Two-way: bookings appear on your Google Calendar, and times you block on your calendar become unavailable on the store.
