SumUp Bookings is an online booking system with scheduling software. It's designed for beauty professionals to make managing and organising appointments seamless and tackle common pain points like double bookings or costly no-shows, completely for free.

One of the main uses for an online booking system is to reserve appointments. With SumUp Bookings, your customers can visit your booking page, find the appointment they want and send a request right away. Once you’re set up, SumUp Bookings scheduling software is available 24/7, so clients can book and manage their appointments even while you’re not working, ensuring an always-full calendar.

Log in to Bookings using your SumUp profile and follow the easy setup guide. After adding these details you'll be ready to start accepting appointments and growing your business.

With Bookings, you choose when your customers pay: at the time of booking or in-person. You can also set up deposits and cancellation fees to ensure your small business is not out of pocket if a client cancels last minute. If you enable payment at booking, customers can pre-pay with a credit/debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Customers select appointments on your online booking system via your bookings page. After opening the page, they can see all the services you offer.

Then they simply:

• Select a date and time

• Add their personal details

• Leave you an optional message

After requesting the appointment, you'll either manually or automatically accept it depending on your settings.

You can access Bookings and all of its scheduling features in the SumUp Business app. All you need to do is download it from the App Store or Google Play. After logging in, you'll find Bookings in the Tools section of your profile. You can oversee appointments, handle payments and manage your calendar and staff all in one place.

It is free to sign up and use SumUp Bookings. There are no setup fees or monthly subscription costs, just a small transaction fee when customers send you money.
