Done — your booking page is live

Benefit: Clients book 24/7 from the link you share — with your logo and colors, not a generic widget.

Live online booking page for clients
Share your booking link on Instagram or your website — clients book 24/7.

Customize how the page looks (included at $100/month):

  1. Open Online booking page in your dashboard to copy your link and preview the page
  2. Pick a button color — applies to the public booking page and embedded widget
  3. Add optional phone and email shown to clients (leave blank to hide)
  4. Upload your shop logo under Settings → Location Settings — it appears on the booking page header

No developer needed. Open the link in a new tab after saving to verify the look.

Import your existing appointments from your current system:

How to enable email reminders for clients

Benefit: Email reminders included — no SMS add-on fees. Write confirmations and reminders in your shop's voice.

Email reminder notification settings with template editor

Steps to enable email reminders:

  1. Go to Settings → Notifications
  2. Turn on the reminder types you need (booking confirmation, reminder, cancellation, completion)
  3. Set how far in advance reminder emails are sent
  4. Optionally add your Google review link for post-visit emails
  5. Save your settings

Customize each email with the template editor:

  1. On any notification card, click Edit subject and message
  2. Change the subject line and body — click a placeholder tag (e.g. client name, appointment time) to insert dynamic data
  3. Check the live preview, then click Save
  4. Use Reset to default anytime to restore Barberium's built-in copy

Email reminders only — we do not charge SMS add-on fees.

No-show protection — how to set it up

Benefit: Card hold at booking; Stripe captures on no-show via your account.

No-show protection with Stripe card hold

Protect your business from no-shows:

  1. Go to Settings → No-show protection
  2. Connect your Stripe account
  3. Turn on "Require deposit" for new bookings
  4. Set the deposit amount (e.g. $20 or 20% of the service price)
  5. Configure your cancellation policy (e.g. free cancellation up to 2 hours before)
  6. Turn on "Automatic no-show fee charge" (optional)
Tip: A clear cancellation policy (e.g. free cancel up to 2 hours before) helps clients show up — track results in your own shop; we don't publish industry-wide percentages.
