The problem
Other platforms charge you every time you succeed.
Booking platforms that are "free" make money by taking 2–5% of every appointment. On a busy month — 30 bookings at $100 each — that's $90–$150 in fees. Per month. Every month.
InstantBook charges a flat monthly subscription. We take nothing from your bookings — not 1%, not 0.5%. Nothing. Standard Stripe card processing (2.9% + 30¢) applies to client payments, same as any platform — but that's Stripe's fee, not ours.
$0 InstantBook booking fees. Every time.
How it works
Up and running in 10 minutes.
Set up your services
Add what you offer, set your price, and choose whether to require a deposit upfront. Takes about 2 minutes.
Share your booking link
One URL — your own instantbook.ca/yourbusiness page. Drop it in your Instagram bio, WhatsApp, Google profile, anywhere clients find you.
Clients book and pay
They pick a time, pay the deposit by card, and you both get a confirmation email. No chasing, no back-and-forth.
Built for operators
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Scheduling
Smart availability
Set your weekly schedule once. Block days, add overrides — clients only see slots you're actually free.
Payments
Deposit collection
Require a deposit at booking time. No-shows drop dramatically when clients have skin in the game.
Communication
Automatic confirmations
Clients get an email confirmation the moment they book. You get a notification too — no manual follow-up needed.
Branding
Your own booking page
instantbook.ca/yourbusiness — shareable anywhere, works perfectly on mobile. No app download required for clients.
Operations
Bookings dashboard
See upcoming appointments, client details, and confirmed revenue in one clean view. No spreadsheets.
Finance
Direct payouts
Stripe pays directly to your bank on your schedule. Typically next business day. We never hold your money.
