What it is
OpenSlot brings salon calendars, clients, payments, conversations, teams, and websites into one workspace. Clients can book online at any time using real-time availability, select staff, pay deposits, and receive reminders and automatic confirmations. The calendar supports drag-and-drop scheduling, conflict detection, and waitlist auto-fill by SMS. Payment tools include refunds, saved payment methods, and payment links, with card processing via Stripe. A shared inbox combines SMS, in-app chat, and email, with built-in translation for more than 40 languages. Businesses can publish a mobile-ready website with booking and use a custom domain or a free OpenSlot address. OpenSlot lists integrations such as Google Calendar, Apple iCal, Outlook, Stripe, Xero, QuickBooks, Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Instagram, Google Reviews, Slack, Zapier, Square Reader, SumUp, WhatsApp, and Treatwell. iOS and Android apps support managing bookings, payments, and client messages on the go. During launch, core business tools are included; SMS is billed separately by usage, and a premium plan may be introduced later.
