How does Slot Appointment app work?

The booking button is displayed on the product page:

When they click on the scheduling button, they browse available time slots through an intuitive calendar or scheduling interface.

The system ensures real-time availability to prevent double bookings.

Once a customer selects their preferred time, they proceed to confirm the booking:

  • With Payment: If the appointment requires payment, the customer completes checkout as they would for any other Shopify product.

Appointment will be confirmed after checkout

  • Without Payment: If payment isn’t required upfront, the slot is reserved instantly, and the customer receives a confirmation.

Customer sees the confirmation widget:

📩 After booking, the customer receives an email confirmation with all the necessary details. If needed, they can modify or cancel their appointment based on your store’s settings.

Main features

Turn products into bookable services

This feature converts any SKU/PDP into a time-based service with bookable slots e.g., “Ring Resizing – 30 min”, “Grooming – 1 hr”, etc.

Appointment widget on Product Pages or Scheduling Pages

This feature embeds a date/time picker on PDPs or a dedicated booking page.

Booking calendar & capacity controls (group appointments)

This feature manages availability and seats per slot. It is is best for Shopify stores who are running classes, workshops, tours, or any multi-attendee session. This prevents overbooking.

Calendar sync (Google/Outlook, etc.)

This feature syncs staff calendars with Slot availability.

You can use this when your business involves multiple providers or shared resources. This avoids double-booking and keeps schedules aligned in real time.

Notifications & reminders

This feature sends confirmations, reminders, and follow-ups (with reschedule links).

This is best for cutting no-shows and setting expectations (prep, location, policies).

Paid appointments / deposits at checkout

This feature allows you to take payment (or a deposit) during Shopify checkout. Take payments or bookings when you need commitment for services, rentals, or limited-capacity events.

You can reduce cancellations and secure revenue upfront by creating paid appointments or taking deposits at checkout.
