Online reservations for salons that capture appointments while you sleep

Activating online reservations with SalonBot is very straightforward. Once registered, go to the booking widget settings section and enable the online booking option. SalonBot automatically generates a personalised link you can share anywhere: on your website, Instagram bio, Google My Business, WhatsApp or even via a QR code on your salon door. No technical knowledge or complex integrations are needed. Everything is ready in minutes, and our support team helps if you have any questions during setup.

Yes, SalonBot lets you precisely configure which hours are available for online booking. You can set different hours for each day of the week, establish the minimum advance booking time (for example, at least 2 hours before), configure buffer time between appointments, and block specific days such as public holidays or vacation days. You can also decide which services and professionals are available for online booking, keeping some services exclusive to in-person or phone bookings. This flexibility gives you total control over which appointments come through the online channel.

When a client cancels an online booking, SalonBot manages the process automatically. The slot is freed immediately in your calendar and becomes available for new bookings. If you have the waitlist enabled, SalonBot automatically notifies the next clients on the list so they can take that space. You can also set cancellation rules, such as a minimum advance notice period for cancelling without penalty. The system sends notifications to both the client and you so you are always informed of any changes to your schedule.

Yes, SalonBot's online reservations work perfectly without needing a website. SalonBot generates a standalone booking page with your personalised link that you can share directly via WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Google Maps or any other channel. Your clients access the link, see your services and available hours, and book directly. If you create a website in the future, you can embed the booking widget as a section of your site. But in the meantime, the direct link works as your own standalone booking page.
