Online appointment scheduling and booking management

About FlexBooker

FlexBooker is an online booking system that empowers service providers or event organizers to accept appointment reservations through their own existing websites. Utilizing a booking widget that promises easy and quick website installation, or a customizable booking page hosted by FlexBooker for those without their own websites, customers can seamlessly sign up for appointments across all devices. Schedule management is handled via an intuitive color-coded calendar view, accessible 24/7 within the browser-based administrator dashboard. Plan any number of appointment types and times, such as multi-person workshops, or one-on-one sessions. Offer recurring bookings, packages, and promo codes, all editable in detail after being made available.

FlexBooker automates the process of offering online bookings and updates clients about any unforeseen schedule changes. Activate email and SMS reminders to deter no-shows, while allowing customers the opportunity to change or cancel appointments where necessary. The unique SMS-based automated wait list notifies those eagerly awaiting appointments when new spaces open up, enabling them to quickly claim the spot with a text response. With FlexBooker you'll have the ability to accept credit card payments, authorize credit cards to charge no-show fees, plus a range of additional client management tools for tracking key metrics. You can even leave it up to our platform to schedule your employees for you, with just the click of one button.

    Flexbooker was the center of our daily operations at one point, but as we've grown, we've tweaked our operations so scheduling is no longer a necessity. However, we still use Flexbooker for phone consultation scheduling purposes. The customer support is exceptional. We were able to tweak & edit some of the options. We will remain faithful customers unless it becomes absolutely necessary to operate without Flexbooker.

    Pros

    Customer support is phenomenal, easy to use.

    Cons

    I have no complaints. Flexbooker is great!

    Great company features. Not for everyone.

    Pros

    Setup was pretty easy. Flexbooker really helped us with two location set up. The options available were amazing.

    Cons

    Flexbooker still doesn't integrate with Square, which is widely used. We weren't able to use any of the payment processing companies they suggest, only PayPal, which doesn't offer credit cards to hold appointments. Sometimes we would have issues and message them, only to wait days or a week to get an answer. Client had multiple accounts in the database. We had to go in and delete the extras. The program itself would freeze on occasion. Towards the end of our usage, the communication was the main reason we are leaving. I don't want to wait days to get a response from a company. We found a different company that just works better for us.

    Avoid Flexbooker at All Costs

    I had an extremely disappointing experience with Flexbooker, and I strongly urge others to avoid this company.

    Initially, there was a lot of communication from their team to convince me to sign up. However, after I paid, the support became almost nonexistent. The system itself was misleading and faulty—it failed to show a critical booking, and I nearly missed an important appointment. My business relies on empathy and precision, and Flexbooker’s failure almost led to me being a no-show. Thankfully, the client called ahead to ask a question, or the situation could have been disastrous.

    After a short trial period, it became clear that the product was not fit for purpose. I requested a refund, which was met with a rude response but an agreement to issue the refund. However, this refund never materialized.

    Over the course of more than a year, I sent countless emails asking for my money back. Flexbooker’s accounts team was allegedly "working on it," but they never initiated contact—I had to chase them constantly. I even contacted [sensitive content hidden] , the company’s owner, who apologized and promised a refund. Despite this, no refund was issued.

    Eventually, I escalated the matter to an external bureau, which also contacted [sensitive content hidden] on my behalf. Again, he promised to issue a refund but failed to follow through. The company then became completely unresponsive to both me and the bureau.

    Flexbooker took my money for a product I didn’t use, and their handling of my refund request has been nothing short of appalling. It’s deeply concerning that a technology company cannot process a simple refund—or perhaps they simply chose not to.

    If my review saves even one person from wasting their money and time, it will have been worth it. Do not purchase from Flexbooker.

    Pros

    Nothing at all. They stole my money. Avoid.

    Cons

    Customer service. Ethics and morals. Attitude.

    I really can't say enough about Flexbooker as business partners. From my many years of operating large global financial businesses, I know how difficult it can be to find partners like this who care as much about your start-up as you do. The system is sturdy, well-designed, practical, and kept flexible enough to facilitate some the unique things we needed to do. I was surprised that they could do this so much better than much more expensive competitors, but certainly happy to find them. It was hard to find a company that could meet our global needs and our need for flexibility.

    Pros

    Better constructed for flexible applications. Highly responsive to both our support and customization needs. They have so many great features that we are still discovering after 6 months. Direct involvement of founder in strategic initiatives is a big plus.

    Cons

    We've had to work through some globalization issues and there are some still remaining. But for a product that was largely used in the U.S., it's facilitated our global needs well. Based on experience to date, I know Flexbooker will continue to strengthen their abilities to facilitate global interactions quickly.

    Finally - an appointment tool for businesses other than salons!

    FlexBooker has been a breath of fresh air. It was easy to setup. It has superior individualism between schedules for different types of appointments and customization options. The customer service is stellar and the price vs. value is far superior to other tools we tried (and we tried about 10 before finding this one).

    Pros

    - FLEXIBILITY: You can present your calendar in several different ways to tailor it to your application needs.

    - CUSTOMIZATION: You can customize your calendar to coincide with your branding.

    - COMMUNICATION: You can customize your email responses by schedule, rather than a "one size fits all" global email that doesn't work for every type of appointment.

    - COST: For the features, this is one of the most reasonably priced tools I've found.

    - CUSTOMER SERVICE: Not only are the representatives readily available throughout the day to help, with extremely quick response times...you aren't charged exponentially for receiving 1 on 1 customer service to set your tool up just the way you want it.

    Cons

    The only con I've found so far is that sometimes it's a little difficult to navigate the administrator side of the tool. But that's just a learning curve. The more we use it, the easier it will be to navigate.

    Reasons for Choosing FlexBooker

    Interviewer Assistant is a very nice tool, but it is ONLY for interviews. All of the nomenclature on that tool references "interviews" or "jobs". We wanted a tool that would allow us to customize the nomenclature to book any kind of appointment. We thought AppointmentPlus would be the solution. However, when we started using the tool, we realized their system has dramatic limitations. Their emails were not fully customizable by appointment type. Their system wouldn't reflect the correct duration of appointments. Setting up appointments that were not sequential was a painstaking, manual process. You could not link directly to a single appointment type - only to a global page showing all of your appointments. It just wasn't meant for what we needed. Not enough customization in any area of that tool.

    DaySmart Appointments

    Reasons for Switching to FlexBooker

    Most of these products are specifically geared toward organizations that book one kind of appointment and need very little customization. We needed each appointment type to have its own customization options - from the schedule calendar itself to the emails that it generates. We needed really flexible appointment durations and time setup. We needed branding capability. The flexibility of FlexBooker went above what we were looking for and is going to be a great fit.
