Online booking
Online booking is the process of letting customers self-schedule an appointment with a business through a web page or embedded widget, without phone or email contact. The booking writes to a shared calendar in real time so no slot is double-booked.
In more detail
Online booking replaces phone-tag and email back-and-forth with a self-service page. Customers see real-time availability, pick a slot, and the appointment is recorded immediately. Modern online booking systems handle per-staff calendars, service-specific durations, deposits, automated reminders, and follow-up. For service businesses, an online booking link in social bios and Google Business profiles is one of the lowest-friction conversion mechanics available.
