Publish the hours you will take and the sessions you offer. Clients book a slot, pay for it and get reminded, without a message going back and forth.
Weekly availability, per session type. A consultation on Tuesday mornings and sessions on Thursday evenings are two different things, and the booking page only ever offers what you actually said yes to.
Publish a session and it gets a page: what it is, how long it runs, what it costs. Share the link, or put it on your public page with everything else you sell.
Take the money when the slot is taken, through Stripe, into your own account. A booked session is a paid session, which is the only version of this that saves you the chase.
Confirmations go out on booking and reminders before the session, automatically. Cancel or mark a no-show and the client is notified with a link to rebook, so the slot is not simply lost.
Through Stripe, into your own account. It is your business and your payout schedule.
Yes, and both of you are notified. Cancelling sends them a rebook link rather than ending the conversation.
Yes, to anyone with a confirmed booking coming up.
Both, as separate session types with their own hours, prices and locations.
