Do I have to switch my card machine or POS?

No. ZeloBooking doesn’t process your clients’ payments. You record what was paid for reporting, and keep using the terminal you already have.

How do SMS reminders work?

Coming soon — until then every confirmation and reminder goes by email. On any paid plan, clients who choose texts get confirmations and reminders from your business’s own local number (US carriers require every business to text from its own registered number — approval usually takes a few days, and clients get emails until then). They reply C to confirm or use the link to reschedule, and STOP always opts them out instantly.

Can clients sign consent forms before they arrive?

Yes. Attach a form to a service and clients get a link (plus a 4-digit PIN) to sign on their phone before the visit, or sign on your tablet in kiosk mode. Every signed form is sealed and saved as a PDF.

What does the AI receptionist do?

Coming soon. It answers calls you can’t get to, tells callers it’s an automated assistant, checks your live availability, books or cancels appointments and takes a message when it can’t help. You see every call and transcript in your dashboard — like any AI it can make mistakes, so it’s worth a glance.

Can I use my own website?

Yes. Add the booking widget to any site with one line of code, or use the website builder and connect your own domain.

No. Plans are monthly (or yearly with 2 months free) and you can cancel any time. Start free without a card — new businesses also get 14 days of the Salon plan free.
