Booksy overview

What is Booksy?

Booksy is a mobile calendar management and appointment scheduling system with which salons can manage online bookings and payments in real time. Incorporating retail POS software, a scheduling calendar and marketing tools, Booksy aims to deliver a smart appointment booking solution.

Designed to provide users with a flexible service, Booksy offers two different mobile applications including Booksy Biz for business and Booksy for clients. With Booksy’s native mobile applications for iOS and Android, users and customers can manage appointments conveniently on the move. While Booksy helps business users create personalized company profiles, accept online payments and organize staff effectively, Booksy enables customers to schedule, cancel and pay for appointments efficiently.

With Booksy’s online calendar, users can schedule, reschedule or cancel customer appointments easily. Further to customer bookings, users can manage staff members and resources seamlessly with Booksy’s calendar management functionality. By maintaining a log of all appointment bookings, Booksy enables users to track a customer’s history accurately.

Since Booksy contains a POS feature with built-in payments and PCI-DSS compliance, users can accept credit, debit and gift card payments simply and securely. Moreover, Booksy allows users to manage promotions, deposits and staff commissions. By accepting up-front service payments, Booksy intends to reduce the number of no show appointments. Furthermore, Booksy facilitates productive marketing with communication tools such as website widgets, social media posts and email blasts.

Little to no customer. Terrible financial support. WHEN and IF they send you a payout report, it's totally incorrect. No one from their development team can or just will not fix it. I have deposits in my account and I have no idea for which dates or services. Booksy owes me $97 still don't know when or if that was paid. Custom forms doesn't work. And still and again no one can or will fix it. It's bc more trouble than it's worth. App is always crashing.

Pros
Software is pretty self explanatory. Easy to use.

Cons
Custom forms doesn't work. Daily payouts sent a few days out of each month and are never accurate. Customer service can only forward problems to the developers who never do anything.

My overall experience with Booksy is wonderful!!!. The customer service and response time is amazing. There’s nothing more frustrating than being in the middle of trying to do something , needing assistance, but you are unable to connect with help desk or support until the next day.

Pros
The selling point for me was the automatic appointment reminders that are sent to the customers. I used to sit up every night and send out appointment reminders to all of my customers.

Cons
When the sw did not allow for deposits.

besides the few glitches i have had a pleasant experience with booksy. I like how it is integrated with GOOGLE, Instagram, and FB.

Pros
besides the customer service i like that i can send booking reminders to customers as well as they get an automated message to leave a review I can post reviews to my IG Its integrated with GOOGLE, FB and IG I can post pictures to my profile

Cons
when sending confirmations it does not give the client an option to click on "confirm" rather it just send the confirmation. the photos that come on my fb page does not reflect my service for example- there is a picture under each service and sometimes a guy/girl is having a laser treatment and I work with waxing. my cancellation policy and my no-show policy are different and I wish i could use both depending on the circumstance.
