Pros

“I like that I have a central place to message my customers on an individual basis, with a well designed platform where I can keep track of individual conversions.”

Matt M.

Director

“I can quickly assign chats to other users to help keep them organized as well as pin top conversations, and filter by a number of parameters.”

Crystal H.

Sales and Support

“I also like the addition of users under one account and it will show the name of who sent the message which is helpful when communicating with clients.”

Jillian S.

Administrative Assistant

Pros

“It makes scheduling so easy by automatically selecting the service my clients always have when rebooking, the schedule itself has so many different ways to read it and so that always looks nice and with all the different colours too it’s so easy!”

Alex H.

Beautician

“Customer support responses can take a little while at times, and there could be more customization options for booking policies and client communication.”

Aaliyah R.

Hair Braider

“I love Goldie, it has a lot of features that help you with having a great booking system, it has the option to have online booking, messages your clients to remind them of their appointments”

Louise B.

Beautician

Cons

“The only thing we don't like is that it doesn't integrate with our shopping cart or email provider. But for the limited amount we're using it right now, we're able to make it work.”

Jenny H.

marketing volunteer

“Character limits in place for things such as spaces between letters means a simple SMS can be costly.”

Phil T.

Marketing Manager

“buggy - dials the last number even when i'm trying to call a new number. and i can't lookup contacts by name i have to input the number to dial manually and type it in each time on my iphone 12 pro max.”

David C.

owner

Cons

“Sometimes the app can feel a little slow or glitchy when updating appointments, and I wish there were more customization options for booking and client management.”

Trenese S.

Hair Dresser

“We can't add our own gift card visual and we can't take 2 payment methods.”

Marie-Julie B.

Beautician

“Also the only pay option is stripe which is way to expensive for a small business to pay. But I can work around that but when someone does pay me I can’t show paid on the calendar without it going through stripe.”
