FAQ

Questions people ask

Is ZenSched really free to try?+

Yes. The Free Beta plan gives you a full booking page, unlimited appointments and email reminders. No credit card to start.

Can I use ZenSched with my existing website?+

Yes. Every booking page has a standalone link at your Smart Slug on booking.zensched.app. Share it in an Instagram bio, on Google Business, in an email signature, or link to it from any site.

How do reminders work?+

ZenSched sends a confirmation email the moment a client books and a reminder email before the appointment. Sends run on a queue so they never block a booking.

Do I own my customer data?+

Yes. Every booking creates a customer record in your workspace. Export any time. ZenSched does not resell or remarket to your clients.

Do you send SMS reminders?+

Not yet. Reminders go by email today. If SMS is a hard requirement for you, tell us — we ship based on what customers ask for.

Can I take deposits or payments through the booking page?+

Not today. ZenSched focuses on the calendar and the booking experience. Payment collection is on the roadmap; for now most customers collect payment in person or through their existing processor.
