BookingMachine: Live prices, bookings and reviews on your own website
For when you need to Online booking with deposit for cleaning business.
Adds a booking form with live prices, deposits and automatic photo or video review requests to the website of a local service business.
What it does
One-line booking widget
Customers pick a service, see the price, choose a time and pay while staying on your own site.
“Your customers select a service, see a live quote, pick a time, and pay — without ever leaving your site.”
Live pricing engine
The price updates as the customer picks vehicle size, number of rooms, a travel zone or add-ons, so you stop sending quotes by hand.
“The smart pricing engine calculates an accurate price live as customers choose”
Deposits and balance payments
Take a deposit when they book and send a payment link for the rest once the job is done.
“Automated balance collection via payment links after the job is done”
Review request after each job
Mark a job complete and the customer gets an email asking for stars, a comment, up to 5 photos or a video.
“Mark a booking as completed and a review request is automatically sent to the customer via email.”
Booking link and free website
Without a website you still get a booking page and a multi-page site built from your services, prices and reviews.
“Every account gets a shareable booking page — and a free website to go with it.”
Calendar without double bookings
Customers only see open slots, with buffer time between jobs for travel and blocked dates for holidays.
“Real-time availability ensures your customers only see open slots.”
Recurring bookings
Weekly, biweekly or monthly customers are booked and charged on schedule, with a discount you choose.
“Let customers subscribe to weekly, biweekly, or monthly service with a recurring discount you set.”
Reviews shown on your site
Your featured reviews appear on your booking page and website, and older Google, Yelp and Facebook reviews can be pulled in.
“Pull in your existing reviews from Google, Yelp, and Facebook.”

Source: bookingmachine.ioCan I take deposits on the free plan?
No. Online payments through Stripe start on Pro, which is $24 a month or $18 a month billed yearly.
Source: bookingmachine.ioDo I need a website to use it?
No. Every account gets a booking page you can put in an Instagram bio, WhatsApp, a QR code or a text, plus a free website.
Source: bookingmachine.ioWill the widget clash with my site's design?
No. It runs inside Shadow DOM, so your styles and the widget's styles stay apart, and it picks up your brand colours.

No. They tap the link in the email, choose a star rating, and can add a comment, photos or a video.
Source: bookingmachine.ioCan two customers book the same slot?
No. Customers only see open slots, and the booking is locked so two people cannot take the same time.
