A booking process that reflects your professionalism

You're a professional artist. Your booking process should show it. Custom enquiry forms, a guided intake wizard, and a prioritised waitlist take clients from first contact to confirmed appointment, with deposits and consent forms built in.

The problem

Booking through DMs is unprofessional and unreliable

Back-and-forth messages
Ten messages just to get placement, size, and availability sorted. It takes forever and details get missed or buried in the thread.
No-shows without deposits
Clients book and don't show up. You've blocked out time, turned away other work, and lost income with no recourse.
No way to manage demand
When you're booked out, interested clients just disappear. There's no waitlist, no pipeline, and no way to circle back when a slot opens.

Enquiry forms

Get the details upfront

Create custom intake forms that collect exactly what you need before you respond. Clients fill out placement, size, style, budget, preferred dates, and upload reference images, all from a public link or QR code. No account required on their end.

Configurable fields.
Text, textarea, select, checkbox, radio, date, and file upload. Ask the questions that matter for your work.
Public URL with unique slug.
Share a clean link or print a QR code. Clients submit without needing to sign up for anything.
Auto-reply email.
Clients receive an automatic confirmation so they know their enquiry was received.
Submission pipeline.
Track each submission through stages: new, contacted, converted, rejected, or spam. Nothing falls through.
Create from submission.
Turn a submission into a client profile and appointment directly. No re-entering information.

Client intake wizard

From first contact to confirmed booking

A multi-step guided workflow that takes you from initial enquiry to booked appointment. Whether a client comes in through email, Instagram DM, an enquiry form submission, or you're adding them fresh, the wizard walks you through every step.

Multiple entry points.
Start the wizard from an email, Instagram DM, enquiry submission, an existing client record, or create a new client on the spot.
Guided steps.
Client selection or creation, appointment scheduling, confirmation, deposit request, and consent form attachment, all in order.
Deposit collection.
Request deposits through Stripe or log manual payments. Clients pay as part of the booking flow before you confirm.
Consent forms built in.
Attach a consent form with a signing link or QR code. Clients sign before they arrive, so you're covered from day one.
QR code generation.
Generate QR codes for enquiry forms and consent forms. Print them for the studio or share them digitally.
Everything linked.
The wizard connects the client, appointment, deposit, and consent form together automatically. No loose ends.

Waitlist

Never lose an interested client

When you're fully booked, the waitlist keeps demand visible. Clients are prioritised and matched to available slots, so you always know who to contact first when an opening appears.

Prioritised entries.
Rank waitlist entries by urgency, budget, or your own criteria. The most important clients are always at the top.
Appointment type preference.
Clients can indicate what type of session they want, whether a consultation, full session, or touch-up, so you match them to the right slot.
Convert to booking.
When a slot opens up, convert a waitlist entry into a confirmed booking directly. No need to start from scratch.
Match to available slots.
See which waitlist entries fit your upcoming availability and fill gaps in your schedule.
