Looping walkthrough

Booking Flow Walkthrough

Screen capture or Lottie: customer selects date → time slot → fills intake form → Stripe checkout completes. Loop, 12–18s.

How it works

Three steps from signup to first booking.

1

Configure your business model

Add your rooms, services, or classes - or all three. Set durations, pricing, capacity limits, add-ons, and booking rules. The setup reflects how your business actually runs, not a generic calendar template.

~ 20 min for a single-location setup

2

Clients book, sign, and pay on their own

Your booking page is live instantly. Clients pick a time, answer your intake questions, sign your waiver, and pay - all before they arrive. Card saved with explicit consent for future charges. You do nothing.

3

Manage everything from one dashboard

Calendar, payments, client profiles, messages, overage alerts. One login. No switching.

Many single-location setups can go live inside of an afternoon.

What your day looks like

Before Slotted. After Slotted.

Before

Open three tools just to see today's schedule and confirm payment cleared
Search your email for the intake form, hope the waiver was signed
Client asks a question - you reply from your personal phone, no record kept
Class fills up - you find out from a client who shows up anyway because there was no real-time capacity tracking
Client runs 30 minutes over - awkward conversation, you absorb the cost
End of month: manually piece together revenue across two platforms

After

One screen shows today's schedule, unread messages, and anything needing action
Client's intake answers and signed waiver are on the booking card before they arrive
Client messages come through Slotted - threaded, saved, permanent
Classes cap at your set limit, waitlist forms automatically, and you see registration vs. capacity at a glance
Session runs over - one tap charges their saved card, receipt sent automatically
Revenue, bookings, and client history always current, always in one place

Five tools. One bill.

Here's what Slotted replaces - and what it costs you today.

Tool	Typical monthly cost	Key gap
Public booking page / booking storefrontSquarespace / Shopify / Wix	$29–39	Doesn't understand time-based booking or availability
Booking appCalendly / Acuity / Easy Appointment Booking	$20–40	No rooms, no waivers, no overage billing
Waiver toolDocuSign / HelloSign	$15–25	Separate step clients routinely skip
CRM or spreadsheet	$0–30	No connection to booking or payment history
Messages / personal inbox	$0	Client conversations scattered across texts, email, and DMs - lost the moment you need them
Class/schedule managementMindbody / Pike13 / WellnessLiving	$125–250	Built for large gyms and franchises - overkill for independent operators, underbuilt for hybrid space+service models
Total	$64–134/mo	Still broken, still manual
Slotted	from $29/mo · Independent plan	Everything above, working together - across space rentals, individual service bookings, and class schedules. Plans start at $29/mo.

This comparison covers Shopify-style storefronts paired with a booking app, and calendar-first tools like Calendly and Acuity - the most common combinations studios use today. Based on standard configurations of each platform.

Slotted replaces your booking storefront, booking app, waiver tool, CRM, and client messaging. Payment processing still runs through Stripe at their standard rate (2.9% + 30¢ per transaction). That fee goes directly to Stripe. Slotted never takes a cut of your revenue.

What your clients experience

A booking flow built for your business. Not a generic calendar widget.

01

Service selection

Visual cards with real photos, duration, and starting price.

02

Space or resource selection

Your rooms, chairs, or booths — with live availability. Buffer time enforced automatically. Skipped for service-led and class-based bookings where no physical resource selection is needed.

02b

Class or session selection

For class-based businesses, clients browse your schedule, see real-time availability and remaining spots, and register in one step. No room selection, no resource conflict - just register, pay, and show up.

03

Date and time

Only real available slots shown. Respects your operating hours, buffer time, and advance booking rules.

04

Participant count and add-ons

Group size auto-applies your pricing tier. Add-ons shown with photos - equipment conflict-checked in real time.

05

Intake form and waiver

Your questions. Your waiver text. Signed before they arrive. IP address and timestamp logged. Exact text snapshotted permanently.

06

Payment

Stripe checkout. Card saved with explicit consent for future charges. Confirmation email fires instantly.

What you see every morning

Four things front and center.

01

Today's schedule

Every session in order. Client name, space, duration, intake summary. Who's active now. Who's coming next.

02

Needs attention

Client past their session end - charge overage? Upcoming booking with an unsigned waiver. Clients who haven't booked in 60+ days - win-back ready to send.

03

Messages

Unread threads from clients across all bookings. Reply here - they get an email with a reply link. No app required on their end.

04

Recent payments

Last transactions at a glance. Charge a saved card. Issue a refund. All without opening Stripe.

Know your clients

Every client. Full history. No data entry.

01

Lifetime value

Total sessions, total spend, average booking amount.

02

Full booking history

Every session, add-on, and payment in one timeline.

03

Intake patterns

What they always select, what setup they always need - derived automatically from their intake answers across all bookings. No manual tagging required.

04

Internal notes

Timestamped, attributed to whoever wrote them. Never visible to the client.

05

Card on file

Charge the saved card directly from their profile. Overages, ad-hoc charges, anything.

06

Win-back detection

Flagged automatically when a client goes quiet. One click to send a message, or configure it to fire automatically after your chosen number of days.

Equipment and documents

Equipment management

Catalog every item - backdrops, lights, wardrobe, props, machines. When a client selects an add-on tied to a physical item, Slotted checks availability across all overlapping bookings. Two sessions cannot claim the same softbox. You never find out the hard way.

Waivers and documents

Your liability waiver lives inside the booking flow - not in a follow-up email. Client signs before they arrive. Text snapshotted at signing, version-tracked. One screen shows all signed and unsigned documents across all clients. Every document downloadable as PDF.

Fourteen types of businesses. One platform.

Spaces. Services. Classes. Hybrid. One platform handles all of it.

01 / CREATIVE

Photo studios

Hourly studio rental with room-level availability, group-size pricing, equipment add-ons, embedded waivers, and automatic overage billing. Clients book your Studio 1 or Studio 2 with real-time availability.

02 / AUDIO

Recording studios

Room booking by the hour. Engineer or producer as an optional paid add-on. Equipment scheduling. Deposit support. Intake questions answered before the session. Overage charges to a saved card - no awkward conversation after the session ends.

03 / AUDIO

Podcast studios

Booth rental made simple. Equipment typically included in the booking. Intake form captures show name, topic, guest count. Waiver on file. Minimal friction - clients book and show up ready.

04 / WORK

Coworking spaces

Desk and meeting room rental by the hour or day. Multiple rooms with independent availability. No service layer required. Member profiles built automatically from booking history.

05 / MOVEMENT

Dance studios

Floor rental for independent practice, plus instructor-led classes - both models running simultaneously from one platform. Pricing by the hour or per class. Participant-count tiers for group sessions.

06 / SPORT

Sports courts

Court rental by the hour. Equipment rentals as bookable add-ons. Multiple courts with independent availability. Conflict detection prevents double-booking equipment across courts.

07 / EVENT

Event venues

Large space rental with optional extras - catering packages, AV equipment, furniture, coordination. Deposit and balance payment flows. Intake captures event type, guest count, and setup requirements.

08 / BEAUTY

Beauty suites

Chair rental by the hour for booth-rental models, or direct service booking with a specific stylist. Client profiles track service history, preferences, and notes across every visit.

09 / MAKER

Maker spaces

Book machines directly by the hour - 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC routers. The machine is the resource. Equipment availability tracked in real time. Intake captures file format, material, and job requirements.

10 / SPECIALTY

Tattoo and art studios

Book an artist for a consultation or session. Service-led flow - no room selection shown. Intake captures design concept, size, placement, and reference images. Client profile tracks session history and artist notes.

11 / MOVEMENT

Yoga & Pilates studios

Class schedule management with per-session capacity, registration, and waitlisting. Drop-in and package pricing. Intake captures experience level and any physical limitations before the first class. Service booking for private sessions runs alongside the class schedule from the same platform.

12 / FITNESS

Gyms and personal trainers

Book floor time, equipment bays, or sessions with a specific trainer. Class registration for group sessions with capacity limits and real-time availability. Client profiles track session history and trainer notes automatically.

13 / WELLNESS

Massage and body work

Service-led booking — clients book a therapist directly. Session type, duration, and pressure preferences captured at intake. No room selection shown. Card saved for future charges. Client profile tracks every session, therapist notes, and rebooking patterns.

14 / FITNESS

Martial arts and fitness classes

Fixed class schedule with capacity and waitlisting. Intake captures experience level and any relevant health information. Waivers signed before the first session, stored permanently. Works alongside private lesson booking — both models from one dashboard.

Not seeing yours? If your business runs on scheduled time — renting a space, booking a service, or filling a class — Slotted most likely fits. Reach out.

A different category

Not a calendar app. Not a studio tool. Not a gym platform. Something that actually covers all three.

This comparison covers the stacks independent operators actually use today: Shopify-style storefronts with a bolted-on booking app (most common for space-based businesses), calendar-first tools like Calendly and Acuity, Vagaro (the category incumbent in beauty and wellness), HoneyBook (CRM-first, service freelancers), and Mindbody (class-based fitness, priced for larger operations). Based on standard configurations of each platform as of 2026.

From the business that helped build it

35MM Studio switched to Slotted from Shopify and Easy Appointment Booking. They had no room-level availability, no intake forms, no waivers, and no way to charge for overtime sessions. Within their first week on Slotted, they recovered their first overage charge - revenue the previous setup made impossible to collect.
