“I like that it allows customization of scheduling depending on packages, plus ability of the admin to overwrite or provide special schedules.”
“All I have to do is input my availability and direct my clients to the landing page. It also provides automated emails for reminders ”

Calendar Sync

Users report that Paperbell's calendar sync feature is essential for avoiding double bookings and staying organized. They appreciate the seamless integration with Google Calendar, which updates automatically and prevents scheduling conflicts. Reviewers indicate that syncing multiple calendars and choosing specific calendars within Google would enhance the experience. They also mention occasional issues with calendar alterations causing errors. Overall, they find this capability saves time and helps manage both personal and professional schedules effectively. Of the 28 Paperbell users who gave detailed accounts of their use of Calendar Sync, 100% rated this feature as important or highly important.

See related user reviews

“It would be really helpful if the calendar sync option allowed to check for conflicts - meaning it searches the calendar(s) to check for conflicts to prevent double bookings. And also the option to add to a specific calendar within Google Calendar. Calendly does this!”
“I love that I can block time in my calendar and it automatically updates in Paperbell so that I don't get double-booked. ”

Client Management

Reviewers indicate that Paperbell's client management capabilities are valuable for keeping all client information in one place. They appreciate capabilities like tracking session history, email logs, and the ability to upload documents and require contract signing. Users report that recent updates have improved the system, though they desire more flexibility in filtering and reporting. They find the automation of emails and payment plans helpful, but some mention the need for additional fields and better mobile access. Of the 37 Paperbell users who gave detailed accounts of their use of Client Management, 100% rated this feature as important or highly important.

See related user reviews

“New updates have helped with client management a lot. Allows private documents to be uploaded to their specific account as well as requiring contract signing upon purchasing their program.”
“Love the tracking of the number of sessions remaining and the history of appointments. I also love the email logs so I know what exactly is being sent to my clients. I just read about sharing documents with clients and I'm looking forward to making use of that feature soon!”

Appointment Management

Reviewers feel that Paperbell's appointment management is comprehensive and user-friendly. They highlight the ease of scheduling, modifying, and tracking appointments, as well as the integration with Google Calendar and Zoom. Users appreciate the automated emails and reminders, which enhance the client experience. However, they mention the need for recurring appointment options and better integration with Zoom. Overall, they find this aspect of Paperbell helps them stay organized and reduces administrative workload. Of the 46 Paperbell users who gave detailed accounts of their use of Appointment Management, 98% rated this feature as important or highly important.

See related user reviews

“It has all the features that I and my clients need to schedule, modify and track appointments. It's helped me stay organized and gives me greater access to automation and offering a high touch experience to every client!”
“It's important but not as important as the other features....at least what I understand appointment management to be. My clients schedule their own appointments, but I was able to quickly and easily schedule for a client. I wish there was an option for recurring appointments instead of having to manually select a recurring time and get multiple emails for each one.”

Billing & Invoicing

Users report that Paperbell's billing and invoicing capabilities streamline the payment process and save time. They appreciate the integration with Stripe, which allows for multiple payment methods and automatic billing. Reviewers indicate that the system handles payments securely and efficiently, though they desire additional functions like handling deposits, sales tax, and better reporting. Some users mention difficulties with updating card details and the need for more flexibility in pricing and invoicing outside of scheduled sessions. Of the 32 Paperbell users who gave detailed accounts of their use of Billing & Invoicing, 88% rated this feature as important or highly important.

“Another key component to a successful coaching dashboard lies in its ability to help you get the financial information your clients need to pay you quickly, easily, and without any friction. Thankfully Paperbell handles all of that in a secure way ”
“Paperbell easily integrates with Stripe, and allows me to create multiple payment methods for one package with simplicity. ”

Recurring/Subscription Billing

Reviewers highlight the importance of Paperbell's recurring/subscription billing feature for offering flexible payment plans. They appreciate the integration with Stripe, which automates the billing process. Users report that this capability is essential for attracting clients who prefer installment payments. However, they mention issues with subscription cancellations and the need to manage changes through Stripe rather than Paperbell. Some users express a desire for more payment options beyond Stripe and better control over missed payments. Of the 22 Paperbell users who gave detailed accounts of their use of Recurring/Subscription Billing, 86% rated this feature as important or highly important.

“I love that I don't have to handle sending out invoices. This was one of the features that helped finalize my decision about Paperbell. The fact that I can link it to a credit card management system to handle payments from clients is fantastic. ”
“Current functionality is problematic. Subscriptions sometimes do not cancel properly, they persist in Stripe. Also when a subscription is cancelled, previous sessions get deleted which seems like a bug as this means I lose ICF coaching hours. ”

Integration rating: 5.0 (19)

I don't use this feature any more because I don't use Zoom for every appointment. Would love to be able to choose whether a Zoom link was needed or not.

I conduct all coaching sessions over Zoom. Having Zoom integrated in the Paperbell app creates a seamless experience for the coach and the client.

for clients to access meetings...the link is sent with the appointment confirmation

Simplifies the process for scheduling meetings (1-1 or groups) with clients

Keeps my calendar from being double booked & updates appointment availability automatically any time I add something to my calendar.

I love being able to use it to follow up with my emails and double-check that I haven't missed anything.

Kind of annoying that subscription/recurring payment plans have to go through stripe rather than Paypal. I had to set up an account for it.

Can't do it without it. A huge beneift not to have to do each billing by hand.

It allows me to take client notes in Jotform and send them directly to the client and to one drive where they are saved. I then add a link in the notes section to all the clients notes. I found the notes section in Paperbell to be clunky. I needed to be able to share my notes with clients and also review notes without scrolling for miles!

Pros

“This is the best coaching software. A colleague and fellow coach recommended it and I'm so pleased that I followed her suggestion.”
“I love the ability to have everything in one spot, and the ability to send me customers there.”
Cons
“It's new software so there are occasional glitches and it doesn't always work very smoothly. Some of my clients have had trouble using it.”
“Any missing features are probably “in the works.”
“I was expecting to be able to invoice current clients rather than making them go to the website, set up an account, choose their package, and pay for it.”
