Online appointment scheduling software and API
4.2/5 (85 reviews)Feature rich with every industry standard functionality of appointment scheduling engines, yet robust to handle larger scale demands, seasonal influxes and tight integrations with third party processes using a modern build that is security focused.
Pros
It is the number one way for me to have clients schedule meetings. I give them a login, and then they simply mark down the time and date they want to participate in an event. They sign up at they're leisure, which makes managing it even easier for me!
Cons
Setster is still incapable of allowing me to have multiple events that can be signed up for simultaneously. I must first complete the sign ups for event A, before I can begin the sign ups for event B. This occasionally results in a loss of sign-ups, or confusion for the people registering for an event. It also adds an element of unnecessary pressure, so that both A and B are ready to go when I need them.
Thanks Alexandra for the honest feedback. We add features all the time and though we cant be certain this will be available any time soon, it helps us understand what's needed.
Pros
Lots of features and customizations. Has brought in several hundreds of clients through the doors over the past couple of years all without lifting a finger or answering a phone call or trying to reach out. Love the bios and profiles and app has improved quite a bit.
Cons
Calendar doesn't function well, never used it but would be nice to show only Setster appointments instead of all appointments. Also no way to import availability from another software. Have not seen a release with new features/bug fixes in at least a year.
Less time on the phone. Clients like the control. Web based scheduling.
Pros
The look and widgets that make it easy. Customer service is excellent and I have always been pleased even when an issue is not completely resolved.
Cons
The lack of live phone and e-mail inks in dashboard, the lack of an easily accessable list of clients appointments, the mobile scheduling is not easy to use and looks nothing like your product its confusing and throws most of my clients off so that I have to do extra work to make it right for them,
Structure, organization, data/statistics.
Pros
The statistics/data + ease of use... It's intuitive, detailed, & worth it! We utilize for all of our scheduling needs & it really has a big impact on our local showrooms. Customers rave about how easy the software is to use & we have loved our experience with the platform for years! Highly recommend it.
Cons
Not much... maybe the ability to tailor the software further for specialty needs. Allowing for more custom needs, wants within the software/dashboard.
Pros
It is not complicated to learn. Easy to navigate. Seems to be fairly reliable. Easy to edit if needed. Has made day to day scheduling of appointments easier for the most part.
Cons
I have run into a few scheduling conflicts due to the schedulers not being able to see that there are other things on my calendar and not having enough time between. Also the schedulers are given set appointment times which seems limiting, whereas having more flexibility could be beneficial. For example, the scheduler only sees what time slots show as available but cannot see that I may have time blocked off and it does not give me enough time for travel, etc. I have on a number of occasions had to contact customers to reschedule which creates more work for me, and occasionally a disappointed customer.

Eight-in-10 American adults now uses the Internet on a regular basis, which means businesses that refuse to jump on board with the latest digital marketing tools are missing out on a significant source of revenue. Setster is a platform that businesses of all sizes can use to capitalize on this momentum by making it easier for their customers and clients to book appointments online.
Setster’s online appointment booking software works from the perspective of both a business owner and a customer making an appointment online. Automatic appointment confirmations and reminder notices help decrease the percentage of no show clients as do deposit and payment collection capabilities.
Setster bills itself as a simple appointment-booking tool, but behind the scenes the system is anything but basic. Businesses can accept bookings through their own websites or through their Setster profile pages, and they can manually enter bookings made by telephone or in-person using Setster’s intuitive account dashboard. Setster syncs with a business owner’s existing calendars, and it is accessible from any Internet-connected device.
The personal schedules of individual providers can be taken into account when a business sets up its scheduling portal. Clients aren’t given the option of making an appointment with a service provider on a date or time when that provider is marked as unavailable, decreasing the chances for double bookings and other types of human error. Add-on services can also be used as a way to upsell customers and increase revenue.
Review your current calendar to see which appointment slots are still available in the coming day, week, or month. Clients can book their appointments through your website or through your Setster profile page, and they can manually enter the exact time when they’d like their services to begin, depending on when you have been marked as available.
Each business that signs up for Setster has access to a booking profile, where clients can schedule their services online. These profiles can easily be linked and promoted in social feeds like Twitter and Facebook.
Businesses can set up their accounts to accept bookings through their websites or their Setster profile pages, and they can define the days and times when each employee is available to work. Business owners can also define how much advanced notice is needed for a booking, cutting down on instances where a client tries to book an appointment with too-little notice. Appointment durations can be set by the business, and customers have the option to select when they should begin.
Once an appointment is booked, Setster sends an automated reminder via email. Clients have the option of canceling or rescheduling their appointments online, based on the policies a business owner has defined, and they can pay for their services in advance via Paypal.
Setster’s dashboard and analytics tools provide real-time insights into the status of your company. See how many appointments have been booked and how much availability your staff currently has. You can also see the total revenue you’ve brought in through Setster, along with the number of new or returning clients at a particular location or on a particular day.
Setster’s API provides a way for daily deal companies, advertisers, publishers, and directories to support the booking and redemption of services that customers have purchased from their websites or portals. API users retain total control over their scheduling systems, making it possible for deal providers to create accounts for each of their clients.
Advanced integrations and payment features such as Paypal push Setster far beyond a typical scheduling system. By integrating Setster with their FreshBooks accounts, business owners can also generate customer invoices and access updates of their daily, weekly, and monthly revenue stats.
All new users are encouraged to try Setster for free for 15 days. Following the free trial, Setster offers five pricing plans for companies of different sizes.
