Getting Started

If I'm completely new to online booking, where do I start?

Start with our 5-minute setup wizard after signing up. It guides you through creating your business profile, adding your first service, and generating your booking page. No technical knowledge needed!

If I have a problem with my booking page, what do I do?

Check our troubleshooting guide first, then contact support@serobook.com. Include your booking page URL and describe what's not working. We typically respond within 24 hours.

If I need to cancel my subscription, how do I do it?

You can cancel anytime from your dashboard settings. Go to Settings > Billing > Cancel Subscription. Your service continues until the end of your billing period.

If customers can't book on my page, what should I check?

Verify: 1) Your services are active, 2) Business hours are set correctly, 3) You have available time slots, 4) Your booking page is published (not in draft mode).

Pricing & Plans

What's the difference between the Starter and Professional plans?

Starter allows 100 bookings/month with 1 staff member. Professional offers unlimited bookings, up to 5 staff, SMS notifications, analytics, and custom branding. Perfect for growing businesses.

Do I really get 14 days free with paid plans?

Yes! All paid plans include a full 14-day free trial with complete access to all features. No credit card charged until after your trial ends.

If I exceed my plan limits, what happens?

We'll notify you before hitting limits. For bookings: you can upgrade or we'll pause new bookings until next month. For staff: additional team members won't be able to log in until you upgrade.

Can I change plans anytime?

Absolutely! Upgrade anytime instantly. Downgrading takes effect at your next billing cycle. You keep all your data and settings.

Is there a setup fee or hidden costs?

No setup fees, no hidden costs. The price you see is what you pay. Payment processing fees apply only if you use our integrated Stripe payments (2.9% + 30ยข).

Features & Functionality

If I need my customers to pay deposits, how does that work?

Enable payment processing in settings, set deposit amounts per service (percentage or fixed amount), and customers pay when booking. Remaining balance is collected on arrival.

If I have multiple staff members, how do I manage their schedules?

Professional+ plans include staff management. Add team members, set individual schedules, assign services to specific staff, and customers can book with their preferred person.

If I want to send SMS reminders, how do I set that up?

SMS is available on Professional+ plans. Go to Settings > Notifications, enable SMS, add your Twilio credentials (we provide setup instructions), and customize your reminder messages.

If customers need to reschedule, can they do it themselves?

Yes! Customers receive a unique link in their confirmation email allowing them to reschedule or cancel (based on your cancellation policy) without calling you.

Technical & Integration

If I want to integrate with my existing website, how do I do that?

Use our booking widget (copy/paste code), direct links to your booking page, or our API for custom integrations. All methods are mobile-responsive and brand-customizable.

If I use Google Calendar, can SeroBook sync with it?

Yes! Professional+ plans include calendar sync. Connect your Google Calendar to automatically block booked times and prevent double-bookings across platforms.

If I need API access for custom integrations, is that available?

API access is included with Custom plans. Get full REST API documentation, webhook support, and developer resources to build custom integrations with your existing systems.

If I have an existing customer database, can I import it?

Yes! Export your customer data as CSV from your current system, then use our import tool (Professional+ plans) to bring in customer names, emails, and booking history.
