## Everything to get the booking and the visit

- **Booking inside the chat:** Customers message you in the chat widget on your site. The team or the bot books a free slot right in that conversation — no jump to a separate form, no losing the thread.
- **Online booking 24/7:** A booking button on any page of your website. Customers see available openings, pick a service and book themselves — even at 2 a.m. Or a standalone booking page — a link for social profiles and maps.
- **Staff, services and rooms:** A schedule for every barber, doctor, mechanic, room or piece of equipment. Each service has its own duration, price and rules.
- **No more double bookings:** Real-time locks and conflict checks protect every slot. If two people try to book the same time, Slotus offers the closest free alternatives.
- **Reminders that reduce no-shows:** Automated email and in-app reminders help customers remember a visit. SMS reminders can be enabled separately when needed.
- **Client cards and visit history:** Every visit, payment and message lands on the customer card. Repeat bookings take seconds — favorite staff member, favorite service, in one click. Loyalty cards help bring regular customers back.

## How a booking happens in Slotus

- **Customers find you:** Through search, ads, a referral or a booking-page link in your bio — anywhere your brand lives.
- **They open a chat:** In the chat widget on your site or from the booking page. One inbox for the whole team.
- **Slot gets booked in the chat:** Your team or the bot suggests open slots, the customer confirms — the booking is created without leaving the conversation.
- **Slotus reminds everyone:** A day before and an hour before — to the customer and to the assigned staff member. Re-bookings and cancellations stay in sync.
- **The visit happens:** You close the appointment, the data lands on the client card, payments and notes are saved for next time.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is Slotus?

Slotus is online booking software with a built-in chat on your website. Customers book in the chat widget or open a booking page — the team or our bot reserves a slot inside the same conversation. Messengers (Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram) — soon. Built for salons, barbershops, spas, clinics, auto services and any appointment-based business.

### How is Slotus different from other booking tools like YClients?

The booking happens inside the chat on your website — in the widget or on the booking page, no hand-off to a separate form, no losing the conversation. Conventional booking tools push the customer to a separate form; Slotus reserves the slot directly in the dialogue. Messengers — coming.

### Which businesses is Slotus built for?

Salons and barbershops, spas and beauty clinics, medical clinics, auto services, tutoring studios, vet clinics, fitness studios — any business that takes appointments. Each service can have its own duration, price and rules; each staff member, room or piece of equipment has its own schedule.

### How much does Slotus cost?

Three tiers. Starter — free for one location, with unlimited staff and bookings, a booking widget and page, reminders and loyalty cards. Business — $29 per location per month: online payments, CRM integrations and priority support. Network — custom pricing for chains: unlimited locations, your own mobile app, your brand in the interface and a dedicated manager.

### Which messengers and channels does Slotus support?

For now — the chat widget on your website and a booking page: all conversations land in one shared inbox with full booking control. Telegram, WhatsApp Business and Instagram Direct — coming. And the schedule of every staff member is visible in the app at a glance.

### Can Slotus prevent double bookings?

Yes. Slots are locked in real time. If two customers try to book the same time, Slotus offers the closest available alternatives. Email and in-app reminders are included; SMS reminders can be enabled separately for ₽5 per message.

### Is there an API or webhooks for integrations?

Yes. A REST API covers staff, services, slots, bookings and payments. Webhooks fire on every booking event — created, rescheduled, cancelled, completed. The Network tier adds a dedicated manager who helps with custom integrations for your business.
