Online booking & payments setup in Havant & Nearby

Online booking and payments made simple for Havant SMEs. We set up a clean booking journey that matches your services, syncs your calendar, and takes card payments with minimal friction. Fewer no-shows, fewer back-and-forth messages, more confirmed appointments.

Typical fixes include replacing clunky forms with a proper booking flow, adding deposits to cut no-shows, enabling Apple Pay and Google Pay, and removing slow or confusing steps. We configure Stripe, Square or PayPal, set VAT where needed, add refunds and receipts, and tidy WordPress plugins (Amelia, Bookly or WooCommerce Bookings) so everything runs smoothly.

On arrival we map your services, durations and buffer times, set staff availability, and connect Google/Outlook calendars. We add confirmation emails and SMS reminders, build clear policies for cancellations and rescheduling, and set a sensible booking window so your diary stays predictable.

Security and compliance are built in. We enable Strong Customer Authentication (3-D Secure), use PCI-appropriate checkout methods, turn on fraud tools, and configure webhooks so payments and bookings stay in sync. Clear terms, refund rules and privacy notes reduce chargebacks and support questions.

Your website and profiles do the heavy lifting. We add Book now buttons, embed the booking widget on key pages, link from Google Business Profile and social, and route visitors to a fast confirmation page. GA4 events, UTM tagging and call tracking show which channels drive bookings, with monthly snapshots you can understand.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question? Here are quick answers to the things our customers ask us most often.

What can you set up in my online booking and payments system?

Services, staff and calendars with durations and buffers, Google or Outlook sync, deposits, Apple Pay and Google Pay, VAT, refunds and receipts. We add confirmation emails and SMS, policies for cancellations and rescheduling, embed the booking widget, link from Google Business Profile, and connect GA4, UTMs and your CRM where helpful.

How long does setup take and what does it cost?

Simple single-service setups can go live in a day once we have access. Multi-staff or multi-location builds with deposits, SMS and CRM links usually take a few days. Pricing is fixed upfront after a quick audit, with clear deliverables and a short handover.

Can you connect Google or Outlook calendars and send emails or SMS reminders?

Yes. We sync staff calendars to prevent clashes, add calendar invites to confirmations, and set email and SMS reminders on a sensible schedule. We tune wording to cut no-shows without annoying customers.

What about payment providers and licences for the booking tools?

We configure Stripe, Square or PayPal, enable Apple Pay and Google Pay, set VAT and receipts, and turn on 3-D Secure. We work with Amelia, Bookly or WooCommerce Bookings and advise on licences or add-ons you actually need.

Is customer data safe and private?

We use PCI-appropriate checkouts, enable Strong Customer Authentication, limit access by role, and keep data in your accounts. Cookie consent, privacy notes and data retention settings are included so you stay compliant with UK GDPR.

Can you migrate from another booking platform?

Often, yes. We map services and availability, import customers where export is available, recreate emails and SMS, and replace old widgets and links. Some systems limit exports, so we will confirm what can move before we start.

Will you switch off the old system and prevent double booking?

Yes. We unpublish old forms, remove legacy links, revoke API keys, set redirects, and test live to make sure only the new flow is used. You get test bookings and a brief change log as proof.
