Most popular features per industry

Would you like your clients to book appointments using natural voice commands? With this custom feature, your clients can speak to an AI assistant that understands their requests and helps them select the right service, time, and provider. This creates a fast and intuitive booking experience, especially for clients on the go.

If you already have a website, you can easily add the AI Voice Booking widget to your site.

AI Voice Booking processes spoken requests, confirms details with the client, and completes the booking in your SimplyBook.me system. It reduces admin workload and makes scheduling more accessible for users who prefer speaking over typing.

All bookings made through AI Voice Booking will appear in your Calendar and booking reports like any other appointment. You can also add booking information to your notification messages for both client and provider.

For more details, check out our Help Center article on the AI Voice Booking feature.

Do you need information from your clients upon booking? With this custom feature you can ask your clients obligatory or non-mandatory questions or offer them to leave a comment. This helps providers to be prepared and perform their job even better.

Examples of intake forms could be the following:

• a doctor may want to add a birthdate field and an obligatory treatment consent checkbox;
• a private language tutor would like the client to select his current knowledge level in a drop-down menu.

But if you want to provide some additional treatment during a service, and charge for it, for example, add a styling after a haircut then you can try our Service Add-ons feature.

All intakes forms' answers will be displayed in each booking details both in admin Calendar interface and in the detailed booking report. You can also add them to booking notification messages, sent to client and provider.

For more details, check out our Help Center article on Intake Forms feature.

Are you running your business in many locations? If that’s the case, then this feature is a must! The Multiple Locations custom feature enables you to create several sites, at separate addresses, in different cities, or even other countries. Add their contacts, photos of the office and additional necessary information - let your customers choose the location which suits them best.

Categorizing providers using the location feature, can also be an excellent way to make the booking process more streamlined. You can even use it if all of your services are in one place. If you have many providers, it would be good to categorize them by a defining feature of their work, such as morning staff and evening/weekend staff. Perhaps you want to categorize your stylists as junior and experienced specialists.

We highly recommend that you try out our Google Business integration. Clients can easily find your services on Google when they search for similar services "near them" - right from the Google map.

Reserve with Google custom feature is an integration with a Google business service with the ability for people to book directly from the search results through Reserve with Google.
It is a powerful marketing tool which helps you to capture your leads instantly. As soon as potential clients find your business on Google Search, they will be able to make an appointment through the Reserve with Google platform, which is standardized and mobile-friendly. Simplifying the process of making a booking for your clients and linking it to your scheduling software is what the partnership between Reserve with Google and SimplyBook.me is all about.
Another benefit is to be visible in Google search results for particular services. Among the first several auto-complete options, "near me" is one of the most popular. These "[business/service] near me" searches have doubled in number over the past six months. Keep up with the latest trends to become significantly more visible through services such as Google Search, Google Assistant and Google Maps.

Using the News custom feature means that you can keep your clients updated and aware of what is going on. You can call it News or a Blog, but keep your booking site fresh and dynamic by informing your clients about what’s happening in your business.

Having news on your website will also help to attract new customers, visitors will see that your website is alive and your business is prospering. You can add into news recent events, post your loyal customers' testimonials, add some interesting tips and so on. Tutorial available here.

If you want to add even more information to your website, you can also try our Custom page feature.

The photo gallery feature can bring life to your booking webpage with attractive and relevant images! You can upload pictures of your business, services, or whatever reflects your business best. For example, a hair salon may want to show a gallery of their creations, before & after photos, beautiful photos of the salon, and the smiling faces of their employees.

Even adding generic stock images can make your booking page appear more professional and engaging to visitors. You’re motivating them to book with your company over others when they browse the web. Please check the instructions here on how to use this custom feature.

By registering with SimplyBook.me, you get a dedicated booking website. Still, if you already have a business website, you can integrate the booking functionality there using one of the widget options.
If you actively use your social media platforms to represent and promote your business, then our Facebook & Instagram Booking feature is a must for you.

With Facebook & Instagram bookings, all your services will be listed on your company business page with the Facebook original design and will be searchable by the Facebook native search. By clicking on the service, your client will go to your booking website where they can complete the booking process.

You may also add a "Book Now" button on your Facebook and Instagram page, which also links to your booking website.
No programming skills necessary, simply paste your SimplyBook.me booking website URL to the Facebook button settings and the booking functionality will be visible on your Facebook business page.

Here you can see a step by step tutorial on adding the booking functionality to different social media platforms.

Do you want to keep your booking website and your social images dynamic and fresh? With the Instagram photo-sharing feature, you can upload pictures to your Insta account and those images will automatically appear on your booking website. Handy, when a picture says a 1000 words.

Using the Instagram photo-sharing feature doesn’t require any special efforts. You just login into your Insta account and all the rest is processed automatically. If you already have too many posts on your Instagram account, you can set how many images to display per page on your booking website. For more details of how this feature works, you can look at our Help Center.

We understand that looks matter, in business, they matter a lot. Therefore, we don’t just provide beautiful booking website templates, with as many pages as you like, but we allow you to customise them to get the look and feel you are after, and to enable you to get them in line with your brand.

The design features available within the admin interface allow you to play with the design. For example, you can choose between more than 15 different templates, adjust colours to match your brand, insert your company logo, background image, team and service photos on top of adding images from your business into your booking website Gallery.

You can keep your page simple or add various descriptions for Services, Service Providers, Locations and Categories with HTML formatting, FYI - no coding skills required!
We have different customisation options such as right-to-left scripting support for eastern languages.

Finally, you can go nuts and do all kinds of magic if you know CSS coding or know someone who can do it for you. With the help of the Custom CSS custom feature you can do your CSS magic. Use this custom feature for free!

There are various Marketing tools in the system designed to help you to promote your business and "Reviews" is one of them.

Everybody knows that positive word of mouth is the best marketing measure out there, and that’s where reviews come in. The system allows you to collect your clients' reviews and show them on your booking website.

SimplyBook.me can send automatic emails to your customers after the service has taken place requesting feedback from them. Simply configure the text of the email and the number of times you would like to send it. This feedback is published on your booking site as a review, giving you valuable social proof.

If you do not use our Client login feature, and merely ask clients to provide email or phone number to book online, we’ll ensure that people cannot post random reviews. Customers will be asked to use their Google, Facebook or Twitter accounts for identification.

On top of that, your company can be listed in our Booking.page directory, including all the positive reviews. Your customer feedback will be indexed by search robots which should help you to attract new clientele.

With the endless competition out there, a great domain name along with neat design, clear identity and positioning can have a decisive impact on the success of your company. New clients will find your booking website more easily, and it will be simpler to remember.

Do not hesitate to check if your desired domain name is up for sale, or choose among names listed by popular Domain Name Providers such as NameCheap, GoDaddy and others.

If you already own your domain name, use our Custom Domain feature to use the booking website with your domain name or a related sub-domain.

In case you also want a fully white-label solution, it is possible with the SimplyBook.me Standard or Premium subscriptions. Please see these instructions on how to set up your domain name in our Help center.

Offer promotions to stir up your customers and increase your sales!

This feature is super handy and very flexible:

• Discounts can be applied to services or any other product you sell. You can promote a particular service or group of services, offer memberships discounts and so on.
• It can be simple, seasonal, or even only applied to services booked at some specified period or a particular time of day. This offers the possibility to provide discounts and attract more people during less busy times, for example to less-popular morning services.
• You can allow all clients to use a discount or send coupons to a selected group of clients only. This could be interesting for a customer loyalty program or can be used to encourage new customers.
• The other great part of this feature is that it offers you the possibility to issue gift cards. The gift card can be in the form of a simple code sent via email, and applied upon booking, or printed out as a nice-looking greeting card with customizable design.

The SimplyBook.me system keeps track of all issued gift cards, coupons and sent messages so you’ll be able to see them in your reports section. In order to find the instructions on how to create a gift card or coupons please check Help center.

Do you often have clients who want to book your services for more than just themselves? This can be useful for services such as sightseeing tours, group lectures, sports classes and various training events.

By enabling this feature, you make the booking process much easier for such clients. They will not have to go through the booking process several times for each participant; instead, they enter the total number of people joining. This becomes especially handy if you accept online payments because in this case, the client will be redirected to the payment system only once per each group booking.

You may want to send slightly different notifications when a client books for a group, that is why we also provide customizable email/SMS templates for this feature. Please check the instructions on how to set up Group bookings custom feature here.

With the Status feature, you can make the most of your admin view of the booking calendar. In a company with many providers and a service desk accepting clients, the Status custom feature will enable you to assign a color-coded status for your bookings.
For example, marking an active booking with "Client has arrived", "Service in Progress" then "Client has paid and left", you can stay on top of the workflow in your business. When you quickly glance over the admin calendar, you can easily see which bookings require attention. You can customise your booking status text to fit your business needs.
Learn more about how this feature works here in our Help Center.

By default, clients can book without registration, to make the booking process as easy as possible. However, there are plenty of benefits from using the Client login feature both for you and your clients.

You can more easily expand your business and increase revenues if you have your clients registered. By having names and email addresses, you can send "Book soon" reminders, sell Gift cards, Memberships and Packages. Combined, these additional opportunities for marketing can significantly increase your sales.

From the client point of view, they can see their booking/purchase history, receive discounts, and participate in loyalty programs created by your company.
On top of that, their data will be more protected. Following the newest GDPR guidelines, we offer a suite of security and data-protection features; all of them are entirely free, but they do require client registration. Check out the article in our Help Center to find out more about the Client login.

You can use the membership feature to restrict particular services to members only, offer them discounts, send them gift cards or offer them additional treatments.

The Membership feature can also function as a marketing tool. You can offer both discounts and treats to your members, as well as lower recurring payments if they become members. Please note, recurring membership payments work with Stripe everywhere except within the EU. With the Stripe payment provider, you can define an initial payment price with a lower recurring price, which will be withdrawn automatically from the client’s credit card.

Memberships can either be purchased by the client, from the booking page, or generated by admin in the dashboard.

If you have more questions, you can find them in our Help Center FAQ on Memberships.

Make the most of each client by selling them relevant products upon booking. They will love to get a corresponding product suggestion from you, and you will increase your sales. By allowing your clients to select a product to buy during the booking process, you only have the best part left when they show up. After nurturing your clients throughout their service, you can hand them the product they already bought.
How will it work? When your clients are booking the services, you will offer them the option to add relevant products to their purchase. Every product they purchase will be listed clearly on their invoice, which you’ll be able to see later on the Sales report, in the admin interface. Appointment details on the admin calendar will also contain products purchased with this booking.
You can also sell products directly on your booking website, allowing clients to purchase them without going through the booking process.
See details of Products feature and how it works along with other SimplyBook.me custom features here in our Help Center.

Do you offer classes or events?
The Classes custom feature provides your customers with a preset schedule where they can easily see all your available classes. Click here to see an example of a class schedule.

This feature can also be useful to schedule events, or non-regular meetings. It can be an event for one or several days for which you can customize time, number of participants or even make it available for VIP customers only by connecting the event to a specific membership.

Check out our video of Classes feature and read about it in our Help Center.

With SimplyBook.me you can allow your clients to choose specific service add-ons upon booking. For example, you could offer your clients the luxury relaxing oil to the massage, the new gel for the hair, or use only organic products during the make-up session. This feature can give you the chance to increase sales by 10-20% without raising prices or reducing availability. You still offer the same old service at the same price, but you have optional add-ons, from which the clients can choose. Use your imagination to think of new add-ons that might increase your sales and profits.

It is super easy for clients to purchase add-ons to their service; they only need one little click. If you need some flexibility to sell more than one additional item per service, try our "Products for Sale" feature, which allows your clients to purchase products when they book.

You can include both Add-ons and Products to booking email notifications, which you send to your clients and providers automatically upon booking confirmation. Also, we encourage you to check out the Sales report to see how much your revenues have increased after implementing those features.

Read more about Add-ons feature here in our Help Center.

Boost your sales by offering several services and products bundled up in one package! By doing that you achieve a win-win scenario whereby your clients get outstanding services with an additional bonus in the form of supplementary services or products for a good price.

Let’s take an example. You can create a package of 10 bookings of a certain service at the price of 8, to motivate your client to buy more. You can also create a package with your most popular services at a discount and then add other new/less popular services to it, in order to promote those. In case you are selling some products, you can also bundle them up with your most popular services.

The same way as all our other SimplyBook’s star features such as Memberships and Gift cards, Packages can be purchased by your clients from booking page, or issued directly from the admin interface. If you are using our POS feature you can also sell packages from that interface.

It’s easy for your clients to use packages. After they have bought one, they can book services and purchase products and "pay" with their package. In case they want to add a product or service, not included in the package, they can pay for that as per usual, by any type of online payment system.

All information of purchased packages are thoroughly kept and can be easily accessed in our Report interfaces.

See detailed info in our Help Center article.

When you make appointments manually, you might keep in mind the resources that you have available and know whether you have an open spot. That kind of mental load can become exhausting, and then unmanageable, as your business grows.

By using the related resources management tool, your system will decide whether you have the tools available to accept an appointment. When you don’t have the necessary inventory free, the system won’t allow anyone to schedule the appointment. This automated resource management makes it far easier to share inventory availability equally between service providers.

Connect equipment, rooms, seats or anything else that is limited in quantity to a service. Several resources of a different type can be connected to the same service when needed.

For group sessions, you can create individual resources, for example, chairs or shared resources such as a classroom. It is also possible to create named or anonymous resources if you don’t need to distinguish between them.
Information about resources used for particular booking is visible with the booking details in admin Calendar and Reports; you can also include it into booking notification templates if necessary.

Issue tickets for services, classes and events. Your clients can either print their tickets or save them to a smartphone. You can scan tickets from both a printed ticket or from the mobile phone screen, using the SimplyBook.me mobile admin app or manually input to the browser version of the Validate tickets section. If you have HTML/CSS knowledge, you can also customise the look of your tickets.

Check out our Help Centre tutorial to learn more about how to set up the Tickets feature. If you would like to create a customised ticket, you will need to have a Premium subscription with SimplyBook.me. The number of issued tickets is limited to 300 per month. If you need more tickets, please contact enterprise@simplybook.me

Spread your bookings out and don’t let any individual provider get overworked, but also ensure that you fill empty appointment slots. By using the Any Employee Selector, you can ensure that customers who want an appointment can only book the service and not choose who performs it. Alternatively, you can allow two separate options to choose a provider, or not. Some clients would like a specific provider, while others don’t mind.
This feature is also useful if you want to simplify the booking process and skip the provider selection step altogether, allowing the system to do it automatically. The client only chooses a service, date and time. For this purpose, you should just set to 'hide all providers' option in settings as it is explained in our Help Center.

Remaining spaces feature is useful for companies providing services where many clients attend at the same time. Two great examples are classes or events with a limited number of attendees. People may want to participate in such events with their friends and want to make sure that all of them can attend. You may designate some events as only available with a minimum number of attendees. In this case, the client would try to join an event where more people had signed up, hence increasing the likelihood of the event taking place.

By showing how many spaces are left when you accept multiple clients per slot, you indicate that you care about customers' needs. You can also choose to show the total number of spaces as well as the number of the remaining ones. This option works for the following selected calendar layouts: Modern, Slots weekly, Modern provider, Daily and Weekly classes.

Here you can read more about Calendar Layout options presenting the booking availability on your website

Start each day by checking out the workload ahead and get prepared for the day! Every day at your selected time, the Daily Report custom feature will send you an up-to-date status of all bookings for the day in a simple, readable format.

You will also receive a list with your active bookings for the upcoming week. In the settings of this Custom Feature you can decide whether you want to include today’s new bookings, today’s cancelled bookings, determine the period for upcoming bookings like 1 day, 3, 7, 14, 21, 30 days, and set notification time. Please check here the instructions on how to set it up.

Protect your clients' confidential data with enhanced security and access protocols in this Patient Data Protection feature, designed with patient data confidentiality in mind.

The increased security measures include 2-factor authentication, SSL connection, user "timeout", and blocks all access for SimplyBook.me support personnel. This function also works well with our other security features such as 'Clean History' deleting any data up to that point in time.

Go on our Help Center to see the instructions on how to use this custom feature.

Keeping your account secure is made easy with our Google Authenticator custom feature. Making sure that system access is secure has become an industry standard, and therefore we offer this feature for free to all our users.

Using a 2-step authentication when logging into your account will make unauthorised access almost impossible. Upon entering a password, you will be asked to enter a 6-digit login code from your Google Authenticator or 3rd party application.

How does it work for you?
You download the "Google Authenticator" application from Google Play or App Store, and then connect it to your SimplyBook.me account using a QR code - Voila! You can log in, more securely. All users should use this, whether they’re admins or junior employees, who want to secure their access into the account.

With the Cancellation Policy custom feature, you can restrict the time within which clients can cancel appointments by setting up cancellation options to a minimum period before the scheduled appointment, from 30 minutes to 30 days. You can even disable client cancellations altogether or ask your clients about the cancellation reason and make this option obligatory or not.

Your clients will be able to read your Cancellation Policy via a link provided to them when making their booking, and they must accept it.

The Subjective-Objective-Assessment-Plan (SOAP) with data encryption custom feature allows users to add time-stamped records, with four encrypted text fields, to saved client data.

This feature is ideal if you are in the medical industry and handle medical data as it adds an extra encryption layer to safeguard personal information such as medical information which fall under the category of "sensitive personal data".

The SOAP component has now been enhanced with RSA 4096 encoding. The enhancement means that no one can have access to the encrypted data. Even if they break into the user’s system or the SimplyBook.me servers, UNLESS they have the secret key, they cannot access the data. This key can be kept on a USB drive, or in a computer’s folder, never stored in our servers. Just make sure that the equipment is well protected so that if it is stolen, thieves would not have easy access to the hard disk. The same applies to the USB drive; you can also encrypt this with a code that only you remember.

Simplify your life by accepting payments, both online and on-site. With our easy-to-use POS custom feature, you can accept cash, credit/debit cards as well as gift cards.
For example, your customer booked a service online and then comes to pay, you find the booking and confirm payment. For new walk-in clients, you can create an appointment right from the POS interface, and proceed from there.

You can use the SimplyBook.me POS solution with your handheld card reader device, cash drawer and receipt printer for a professional payment experiment for your clients. You can also skip using a payment terminal and rather use the SimplyBook.me Admin app to accept onsite contactless payments (tap to pay) or use it to show QR code or send payment links so that your clients can pay onsite with credit card or with Apple Pay/Google Pay.

The system is optimized for iPad, Samsung tablets and all mobile devices, but also works perfectly with laptops and PCs.

See the list of features you’ll get with our onsite payment solution:

• Accept payments: Cash, Card, Gift Cards, or Pay later
• Offer clients to pay with tap-to-pay, Apple Pay/Google Pay or via payment links
• Manage bookings & purchases made online and on-site
• Create and register bookings and sales on-site for walk-ins
• Sell Products, Service add-ons, Memberships, Gift Cards
• Apply Coupon Codes upon checkout
• Connect to scanners and scan product barcodes

In the main admin interface, there is a range of helpful tools to analyze your POS sales performance; Insights Booking Report, Sales report and Client report. Please follow this link to find out more about this custom feature.

If you are selling services and products, this feature is a must-have.
It allows you to collect payments upfront, upon booking, so you and your client don’t have to worry about payment after the service is over. Incurring payments beforehand has been proven to reduce no-shows significantly.

You can accept payments via popular online payment processors such as Stripe, PayPal, and Square. Look at our full list of payment providers.
Even if you only accept offline payments such as cash or wire transfers, adding prices to your services allows you to better keep track of your business. You can monitor your most profitable services, analyse your company’s productivity and play with other interesting KPIs.

Accept payment feature is also important if you want to use other custom features to enhance your business such as organise sales campaigns, sell gift cards and memberships, offer your clients to purchase related products upon bookings and more. Please check our tutorial here on how to set it up.

The deposit feature gives you the ability to ask your clients to pay part of the service price upfront during the online booking process.
This feature is useful as deposits have been shown to decrease no-shows considerably.

The Deposit feature is quite flexible: your clients can choose whether they pay the deposit only or the full price. Also, you can select which services require full payment upfront and which ones only need a deposit to be bookable. You can accept deposits using online payment systems or some "offline payments" such as wire transfer or cash. In offline cases, you or your employees need to verify the deposit payment receipt, and then a manual approval is necessary within the admin interface.

What does the deposit payment look like in your payment transactions report? When a client pays the deposit, the system will create two invoices: one for the deposit and a second one for the remainder, it will display as a pending invoice (offer) until the client pays onsite and you manually approve it.

Please note that some clients may contact their bank directly to get a refund of the deposit payment - in those rare cases you can do nothing.

Do you want your potential local customers to find you on the first page of their Google search? Businesses that have a completed Google Business profile will show up high on the list of local results at the top of page one. The integration between SimplyBook.me and Google My Business allows you to import contact details, working hours, and most importantly a link to your booking website, from your SimplyBook platform.

You will be able to reach potential clients using all three Google Search, Google Assistant and Google Maps services which will increase number of potential visitors drastically. With your business location pinpointed on Google Maps, your clients can even get directions to your company’s office.

Your booking system integration with Google Business is seamless and fully automated, you’ll need only to check and confirm the system’s suggestions as it is explained in this guide of our Help Center.

Do not hesitate to benefit from using great marketing tool powered by Google!

Make the booking process as smooth as possible with the Service Categories feature!

By grouping the services into categories, you will help your customers to find what they are looking for easily. An example could be a full-service beauty salon, where it’s useful to separate the hairstylists from the masseurs and skincare specialists. On top of that, you can add images and necessary descriptions to each category.

Services Categories is a must-have feature to organize a diverse list of services under relevant categories. If you also want to categorize your service providers this way, use the Multiple locations feature (just set the same address if everyone is at the same location).

By enabling the Book Soon Notification custom feature, you can automatically remind your customers to book your services again. It could be a biannual dental check-up or reminder to refresh a client’s haircut, gel nails etc.

Sending a Book Soon reminder can boost your business in many ways:

• It can help you to convert a new client to a regular one.
• Companies offering recurring services can increase sales considerably if clients come in regularly. For example, a Barbershop can increase annual sales significantly if their clients come in every four weeks instead of every six weeks.
• Reminders can prevent clients from forgetting your contact details.
• We all need a little reminder to take good care of ourselves, so a gentle nudge to book again can always be useful.

You can configure Book Soon reminders to send a predefined number of days after their last appointment. Of course, you can always customize your notification messages to make them sound warm and welcoming. Please check here the instructions on how to set it up.

Do you already use web Outlook calendar to schedule your time? Then you can simplify your life by synchronizing your company SimplyBook bookings with your current calendar and get all appointments in your familiar interface. All bookings will be listed in your personal calendar and you will never double book your time again.

You can also use Calendar Sync for your employees. They’ll receive notifications about upcoming bookings in their web calendar at any device.

Calendar Sync is a 2-way synchronization, this means that all events from your provider’s personal calendar will be blocked and unable to be booked on admin calendar. Booked slots will be visible in the provider’s personal calendar and it is possible to distinguish web-calendar’s bookings from time off due to days-off or break times. Check our tutorial to see how to set up the Calendar sync custom feature here.

Do you provide services in Asia? Then benefit from Line messenger popularity by using the SimplyBook.me booking bot.

Enable your clients to book and attend video meetings directly from your SimplyBook.me booking website.

• You sign up with Microsoft 365/Teams and download their software (it’s free for now).
• You activate the "Online Video Meeting" custom feature and then you can start offering your clients to book video meetings with you.

The "File Uploader - Google Drive" custom feature allows you to collect files, documents or images, from your clients upon booking or when your clients sign up with you via either the intake form or client fields features. The files can be up to 5MB in size and are saved to your Google Drive.

If you collect these documents as part of the booking intake form, you will be able to see and download the files from the booking pop-up on the calendar page. Alternatively, you can access these files from Manage/Clients/Edit client record if you gather this information in the signup process as a client field.

The Loyalty system will allow you to strengthen the relationship with your clients! The way it works is that your clients will earn specific amounts of points with each purchased service. They can then redeem those points for a gift card with your business which they can in turn use to purchase your services.

You can also allocate some extra loyalty points to your favourite client, and your clients can log in at all times to see the status of their accumulated points. See the video here to see how it works.

The 'Tips' custom feature is a convenient tool that allows clients to offer tips during the booking process or at the point of checkout.

When activated, the 'Tips' feature can be set up in two ways:

• Tips Upon Booking: This option is ideal for clients who are familiar with the service provider and typically give tips. It allows clients to add a tip during the booking process itself.
• Tips Upon Checkout: This option enables the tips feature when the client checks out, either by clicking on a payment link or scanning a QR code on place after receiving the service.
• Tips Upon Booking and Upon Checkout on place.

Send automated booking confirmations, reminders, and updates directly to your clients' WhatsApp, ensuring they stay informed and never miss an appointment. WhatsApp Notifications are enabled by default, and you can choose which messages to send through WhatsApp in your settings.

To use this feature, simply purchase WhatsApp credits under Plans & Prices > Additional Items in your SimplyBook.me admin panel. Once credits are added, your selected notifications will be delivered seamlessly via WhatsApp, providing a convenient and direct communication channel for your clients.
