Booking & scheduling
Share one link, let customers book themselves around the clock, and cut no-shows with automatic reminders. Free to start, no credit card required.
A booking app lets customers see your real availability and reserve a time without calling or messaging you. Good booking software shows only genuinely free slots, confirms instantly by email, sends reminders before the appointment, and keeps every booking on one calendar you and your staff can see. BookWave does this for appointments, classes, and multi-night stays.
BookWave is built for local and independent businesses — salons, barbershops, spas, clinics, tutors, trainers, photographers, cleaners, garages, restaurants, and hotels. If customers need to reserve your time, it fits. Each industry page shows the exact setup for that trade.
Every confirmed booking triggers an automatic confirmation email, and a reminder goes out before the appointment. Customers can cancel or reschedule themselves within the window you set, so a change becomes a freed slot instead of an empty chair. If you connect your own Stripe account, you can also take a deposit at booking.
The same account includes an online store with POS and inventory, and a drag-and-drop website builder with a custom domain. Most small businesses end up paying for three separate tools; BookWave replaces them with one.
✓Shareable booking page — put the link in your Instagram bio
✓Real-time availability with per-service durations
✓Staff accounts with individual schedules
✓Automatic confirmation and reminder emails
✓Self-service cancel and reschedule within your window
✓Waitlists for fully booked slots
✓Custom booking form questions
✓Booking approval mode — confirm before it is final
✓Multi-night stay bookings for hotels and rentals
✓Google Calendar sync
BookWave offers a genuinely free plan with an online booking page, up to 30 bookings a month, 3 services, email confirmations, and reminders — no credit card required. It also bundles an online store and website builder, which most booking apps charge separately for.
Prioritise four things: real-time availability so customers cannot double-book, automatic reminders to reduce no-shows, per-staff schedules if you have a team, and a booking link you can share from social media. BookWave includes all four on its free plan.
Yes. Customers book with just their name, email, and phone — no account or app download. They receive a confirmation email with a link to manage or cancel their booking.
Yes. Set a weekly recurring timetable for classes, and use waitlists so a cancellation automatically opens the spot to the next person.
Yes. Connect your own Stripe account and take payment or a deposit at the time of booking. Money goes directly to your Stripe balance — BookWave does not take a cut of your sales.
BookWave is free to start — booking page, online store, and website builder in one account. No credit card required.
