How it works
-
Enter services and hours
Your services with duration and price, your opening hours and who does what. Once.
-
Share your booking link
Your booking page on Plan-it-now, a button on your website or a QR code at the counter.
-
Bookings come in
Each booking lands in your calendar with the customer's details. Confirmation and reminder go out by email.
What your customers get
Online booking only pays off if customers actually use it. These are the parts they see.
-
Booking without an account
Customers book with the details you need for the appointment. No sign-up, no password.
-
On your own website
Embed the booking in your website as a frame, a pop-up or a button, or link to your booking page. A QR code for print is ready too.
-
Confirmation and reminder
Customers receive a confirmation and, by default, an email reminder 24 hours before the appointment. You choose the timing, and a second reminder on the day is optional.
-
Cancelling online, by your rules
Customers cancel through the link in their confirmation, up to the deadline you set. The time becomes bookable again.
-
Straight into their calendar
One click adds the appointment to Google Calendar, Outlook or any calendar that opens .ics files.
-
No commission
You pay for the software, not per booking. Nothing is added to your customers' appointments either.

What does Plan-it-now cost — and what is free?
Booking is free for your customers: no account, and nothing is added to their appointment. You try every plan free for 14 days, without payment details. After that you pay a fixed monthly or yearly price with no commission, however many bookings come in. A subscription only starts when you take it out yourself, and the prices above are the current ones.
Questions and answers
Is Plan-it-now free?
Trying it is: every plan is free for 14 days, without payment details. After that you pay a fixed price per month or year, with no commission on bookings, and booking stays free for your customers.
Do my customers need an account to book?
No. They enter the details you need for the appointment and book. Customers who want to can keep track of their appointments in a customer account.
Can I put online booking on my own website?
Yes, on every plan: as an embedded frame, as a pop-up or as a button that opens your booking page. You copy the code from your settings.
Do customers get reminders?
Yes, by email: a confirmation after booking and a reminder before the appointment, by default 24 hours ahead and adjustable. Health practices start with appointment messages switched off, because they first need their patients' consent.
Can customers cancel or move an appointment online?
They cancel through the link in their confirmation, up to a deadline you set (24 hours by default). Moving an appointment works as an offer: you propose a new time and the customer accepts it.
Do you take a commission on bookings?
No. You pay a monthly or yearly price for your plan, and bookings cost nothing extra.
