FAQ

Common questions about Bookings.

Real answers from service businesses that have switched from Calendly, Acuity, or manual scheduling.

Talk to us →
Can clients reschedule on their own?
Yes. You set the notice window — e.g. clients must reschedule at least 24 hours in advance — and startbuddi handles the rest. Clients get a rescheduling link in every reminder email automatically.
Can I take deposits instead of full payment?
Yes. Each booking type has its own payment rule — free, full payment, or a fixed/percentage deposit. The balance can be collected separately after the session.
Does this work for both free discovery calls and paid sessions?
Yes. Create as many booking types as you need — free intro calls, paid strategy sessions, group workshops, recurring appointments. Each has its own link, price, and intake form.
Does startbuddi sync with Google Calendar?
Yes, two-way. When a client books, the session appears on your Google Calendar. When you block time on Google Calendar, that slot becomes unavailable on your booking page.
Which payment providers are supported?
Paystack for NGN payments (cards, bank transfer, USSD) and Stripe for USD, GBP, EUR, and 135+ other currencies. Both run natively — no plugin or third-party bridge needed.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes one booking type, basic CRM, and up to 5 invoices per month. No credit card needed to start. Paid plans from $5/mo unlock unlimited booking types, Chip AI reminders, deposits, and full CRM.
