VoltsBook · Booking & Payments SaaS
Your day, booked and paid for before you turn the sign round.
Booking software for salons, barbers, clinics, trainers, and detailers. The diary, the deposit, the reminder, and the invoice — one place, priced from the first morning.
Free plan forever · no card to start · nine trades set up for you
The real cost of a paper diary
Every Empty Slot Already Cost You Money
A no-show costs the whole slot
The 10am that didn't turn up isn't one lost sale — it's the slot you turned two other people away from, plus the twenty minutes you spent preparing for it.
Phone-tag is a job nobody's paid for
Every booking made by call-back is minutes of someone's day. Multiply by a full diary and the front desk is a full-time job you're doing between customers.
The day's money lives in five places
Card machine, cash tin, Stripe, a gift card from Christmas, a package someone prepaid in January. Adding it up at close shouldn't be forensic accounting.
What it does, in one morning

Waiting list, deposits, and reminders — three features, one rescued morning. That's the difference between scheduling and running the day.

Deposits
No-shows stop when money holds the slot
Ask for a deposit per service — fixed or a percentage — and the balance is tracked to the appointment. Customers who've paid something show up; when they genuinely can't, the deposit softens the empty slot.
- Per-service deposits, fixed or percentage
- Customer can pay in full if they prefer
- Stripe, PayPal, and Square side by side
- Refunds handled properly — commission clawed back too
The diary
Two chairs, three staff, four rooms — it still adds up
Every staff member has their own hours, services, breaks, and days off. Buffers hold cleanup time after the right services, group sessions track capacity, and the last slot can't be double-booked — that's enforced by the database, not by hoping.
- Per-staff hours, services, holidays
- Buffers before and after services
- Group capacity for classes
- Multi-location, one diary
Reminders
The four messages every appointment needs
Confirmation, the day-before nudge, the hour-before heads-up, the follow-up. Twenty messages come pre-written; they go out by email, SMS, or WhatsApp, in the language the customer booked in, without anyone remembering to send them.
- Booked, 24h, 6h, 1h, reschedule, cancel, paid, follow-up
- Email, SMS, and WhatsApp
- Six languages, right-to-left included
The money
The day's takings are one number
Online payments, the card machine, cash, cheques, gift cards, package credits — recorded in one place, reconciled without a spreadsheet. Invoices generate from the appointment's own price lines, numbered in sequence.
- Online and counter payments together
- Taxes inclusive or added, per service and location
- PDF invoices from the appointment
- Staff commissions settled automatically
From booked to banked
The Whole Appointment, Handled
And the rest
Everything Else the Shop Floor Asks For
Packages, gift cards & loyalty
Sell a course of six and count sessions down as they're used; gift cards with real balances; points on spend.
Products & stock
Retail on the counter, inventory decremented by the quantity sold — services and shelves in one system.
Invoices, numbered
PDF invoices generated from the appointment's price lines, in sequence, on five templates with your logo.
Forms & check-in
Custom intake forms with conditional questions and file uploads; arrival check-in with signatures, photos, and paperwork as PDFs.
Calendar sync & video
Two-way Google and Outlook sync per staff member; Zoom and Google Meet links for meeting-based services.
A website included
A hosted booking page for social and QR links, plus a widget that drops into any site with one script tag.
Reports that answer questions
Revenue, by staff, by service, by location — and a no-show rate you can watch fall after deposits go on.
Roles & custom permissions
Built-in roles plus your own: who sees money, who sees the diary, who sees only their own column.
An API AI agents can book through
A public REST API with slot holds and idempotency — built so voice and chat agents can book real appointments safely.
vs Calendly & Cal.com
Both Put a Booking Link in Front of a Customer. Only One Runs a Shop Floor.
Honest version: if you're one person booking meetings and money never changes hands at the appointment, Calendly is the best tool for the job and you should use it. VoltsBook is for businesses with staff, a price list, and money that changes hands — deposits held against balances, a course of six counted down as it's used, commission clawed back proportionally when you refund.
And where Cal.com starts empty, VoltsBook starts with your trade already in it — nine of them.
Nine trades, ready on day one
Your Price List Is Already In There
Setup
Taking Bookings in Ten Minutes, Honestly
Pick your trade
Nine starter kits load real services, durations, and prices on day one — a barber's price list looks like a barber's price list.
Add your people and hours
Staff with their own hours, services, and days off. Deposits per service if you want them. Ten minutes, honestly.
Share the link — or drop in the widget
A hosted booking page for social and QR, or one script tag on the website you already have. Bookings start arriving.
Built like our client work
Engineering You'd Only Notice If It Were Missing
The last-slot race, solved
Two customers grabbing the final Saturday slot is decided by a database-level exclusion constraint, not an apology email. Offered means available — and it's property-tested.
A widget that can't break your site
The embed is iframe-isolated by design: your site's CSS can't break the widget, the widget's can't leak into your site. It ships under a 120 kB budget enforced in CI.
Limits that play fair
Hitting a plan cap refuses new creates — it never deactivates what exists, and a lapsed trial never takes a working booking page offline. Free means free.
VoltsBook is a clean-room rebuild by the same team that builds web apps for clients — it's both a product we run and the standard we build to.

FAQ
Asked Before the First Booking
No. Customers book from a link — your booking page or the widget on your website — pick a time, pay a deposit if you ask for one, and get their confirmations and reminders by email, SMS, or WhatsApp.
Every account starts with 14 days of everything, no card. When it ends you drop to the free plan and keep trading — a lapsed trial never takes a working booking page offline. Free means free; features don't get moved out of it later.
No fee on your takings. You pay your payment gateway's standard rate (Stripe, PayPal, or Square) — VoltsBook doesn't take a percentage of what your customers spend.
Yes — two-way Google Calendar and Outlook sync per staff member: bookings flow out, personal events block availability in. Zoom and Google Meet links can be generated for meeting-based services.
One script tag. The widget works on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, or a hand-written HTML page, inline or as a popup — and if you don't have a website, VoltsBook includes a hosted page you can start with.
Nine trades are set up on day one with real services and prices — from barbers to auto detailing. Everything is configurable, so if your trade isn't on the list you start from the closest kit and adjust.
