Are there decent scheduling utilities I can add to my website?
SAAS Scheduling Application or packages, i can add to my websites
If you think about it, scheduling is a fundamental for many places. Salons have good ones usually where each stylist can set their own hours, set prices, etc and people will just book as needed.
- I was looking for some sort of package that handles something like this at a simple scale; think Clerk or something for scheduling.
- I was looking for a tool which also accepted payments as well, but I can always write a wrapper for it.
- Links with existing calendars like Google calendar.
End state: I wanted to create a solution to assist in better organizing a small business with the ability to block off time for appoints while also collecting a downpayment or deposit.
I have not really found too much, but i wasnt sure if anyone has stumbled across anything similar?
My end state was to find some package I could tie in with my NextJs application.

I am personally starting to look at Calendly, but i was hoping they had some React components ready to ship. They are all API based, so I would need to make my own API Interface and components..... it seems
I use cal.com, but I don't think it integrates into your website
Cal.com Atoms is the likely answer here. They either offer a raw API or rebuilt React components & hooks.

ill take a look at it. Just trying to get a scheduler tool up and running. Its really straight forward but would rather use something out of the box.
Don’t use acuity scheduling. Hot garbage 🤮
Anyone who has had to manage a team with shifts will tell you how tricky scheduling can get. I hope you find something but if you have very specific needs then you might have build it. I have friend who works at Fresha they work with lots of salons so I’ll ask him how they built their solution.
It seems that a lot of my current clients are generally small, sole-proprietorships or small-small. They are looking to better organize and set up a scheduler for various things, primarily a 9-5 thing, so it isnt too crazy. Pretty much trying to find a way to better keep clients booked and establish repeat customers for ease of use cases. The one problem I was trying to do was to establish auto-payments and auto routine maintainence. Seems most dont have a way to accept CC and dont have easy scheduling tools
