Everything you need to schedule sessions, take payments and run video meetings

One platform covers the whole journey, from someone finding a free time to booking it, paying and turning up. See the full feature list.

Bring every session online

Online Video Meetings

Every video-enabled booking gets a unique meeting link automatically, through Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, so consultations, advising calls and remote sessions run from the same calendar and the same booking page as anything held on campus.

Automated Reminders

Automated email, WhatsApp and SMS reminders go out before every appointment, cutting last-minute no-shows without any manual follow-up.

Run every site, department and provider

Multiple Locations

Manage every site, department or branch under one account with a multi-location booking system, each with its own providers and branded booking page, all visible from a single dashboard. Working hours are set per provider and per service.

Any Employee Selector

Let clients book the next available teacher, advisor or staff member instead of choosing one by name, so demand spreads across your whole team automatically.

Intake Forms

Collect registration details and session preferences with Intake Forms at the moment someone books, so staff arrive prepared.

Get paid and keep data protected

Accept Payments

Take course fees, workshop charges or consultation payments online through Accept Payments, 30+ processors, with no card details ever stored on SimplyBook.me's own servers.

Cancellation Policy

Set a cut-off window so clients know how much notice to give, and pair it with Accept Deposits so a late cancellation doesn't cost you the whole session.

ISO 27001 & GDPR compliance

SimplyBook.me is ISO 27001:2022 certified and GDPR-compliant, giving families and institutions the data-protection standard education requires.

Ask Simply is built into your admin panel and sets things up for you. Just type what you need, and it creates services, adds providers, turns on features, and knows the platform inside out.

Meet Ask Simply, your AI setup assistant

Tell Ask Simply what you need and it sets it up for you: services, providers, hours, locations, and features, with no settings panels. For sensitive steps like payments or branding, it guides you click by click.

Smart enrollment, powered by AI

Turn website visits into conversations, and conversations into confirmed enrollments.

SimplyBook.me includes built-in AI that captures more enrollments and takes setup off your plate, so you can focus on teaching, not admin.

How it works

Setup takes minutes: describe your business and the built-in AI assistant creates your services, providers and schedule for you. For education providers, everyone books sessions, consultations and video meetings on your branded page in real time: no phone tag, no double-booked rooms, no lost sign-up sheets.

Step 1

Set up your schedule

Tell Ask Simply what you teach, advise or run, and it builds your services, providers and working hours for you, or guides you step by step through the rest.

Step 2

Clients book & pay online

Families, learners and staff pick a session, consultation or video meeting on your branded page, see real availability, and pay any fee, any time, on any device.

Step 3

We handle the rest

Automatic confirmations and reminders cut down no-shows, every provider's calendar stays in sync so nothing double-books, and video meeting links go out the moment someone books, hands-free.

What education providers say about scheduling this way

Administrators, advisors and program coordinators explain how moving bookings online cut down on double-booked rooms and missed sessions.

Daily organisation as a 24/7 option

I use SimplyBook.me as an online tutorial-reservation tool for students who have grown up in the digital age and for whom "conventional" ways of arranging meetings have failed to keep pace with their own form of organising their lives. My students are delighted with it (as I am, too): it makes daily organisation a 24/7 option and ensures far greater flexibility and communication in our working relationships. The ability to offer online sign-ups for tutorial and to be reminded of who's coming, when and for what has made me enormously more organised. I would—and do—recommend it thoroughly.

Reservations made easy for my clients

SimplyBook.me is perfect for me. It has made reservations easy for my clients and helped me work globally. Since starting to use SimplyBook.me I have got more work. When choosing an online booking system it is very important to consider customer service. It doesn't matter how lovely the site looks, you need to be able to talk to the provider if things aren't going right or you are in difficulty. SimplyBook.me has top quality customer service which has always kept me with them. An added bonus is that SimplyBook.me is developing things all the time. The new templates, as an example, have been great and I am sure there will be more things to come.

Best Product Available (but could benefit from some updates)

I love this booking tool compared to every other one out there, but it isn't as great as it could be. It is the easiest tool to use with the most features that I need available, but you give up certain flexibility when you have an all in one tool like this.
