Frequently asked questions
Everything about the online appointment system
What is an online appointment booking system?
It is software that lets your customers book your services online 24/7 — choosing staff, service and time — while you manage the calendar, reminders and payments from one panel.
Can customers book 24/7 without calling?
Yes. Your booking page is online around the clock; customers self-book in seconds and you cut no-shows with automatic confirmations.
Does it send SMS and e-mail reminders?
Yes. Automated e-mail and SMS reminders are sent before each appointment to reduce no-shows.
Can I collect online payments or deposits?
Yes. You can require full payment or a deposit at booking with local payment methods, so your calendar fills with committed customers.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. You can start free and upgrade as you grow — no setup fee, no installation, cancel anytime.
How much does ControlCMS appointment booking cost, and is there a free trial?
ControlCMS offers a free trial you can start without a credit card, then flexible plans that scale with your team — from a single staff member up to unlimited staff, multiple branches and your own domain. Because the right plan depends on your number of staff, branches and payment needs, exact pricing is shared as a tailored quote, so you can reach the team for a plan matched to your business.
Can I switch to ControlCMS from Calendly, Acuity Scheduling or Setmore?
Yes. If you are moving from Calendly, Acuity Scheduling, Setmore or a similar tool, your services, staff and working hours can be recreated in ControlCMS in minutes, and your booking page can go live under your own brand the same day. There is no installation, so your existing link can simply be replaced with your new ControlCMS page.
Is ControlCMS commission-free, or do you take a fee from each booking?
ControlCMS does not take a per-booking commission or a cut of your appointment revenue the way marketplace apps such as Fresha or Booksy can. You subscribe to a plan and keep what your customers pay; deposits and payments are collected through your own connected payment provider, so the money goes directly to you.
Is ControlCMS a good Calendly alternative for service businesses?
Yes. Calendly is strong for simple meeting scheduling, while ControlCMS is built for service businesses that need staff-based calendars, service durations, deposits, packages and memberships, no-show tracking and a branded booking page. If you run a salon, clinic, spa or similar business rather than only booking calls, ControlCMS covers the operational side Calendly leaves out.
Is ControlCMS a good Fresha, Booksy or SimplyBook.me alternative for salons and clinics?
Yes. Like Fresha, Booksy and SimplyBook.me, ControlCMS handles staff scheduling, online booking, reminders and deposits — but on your own white-label page and domain, without listing your business in a shared marketplace or taking a commission on each appointment. It suits salons, barbers, beauty and wellness studios and clinics that want to own their brand and customer relationship.
Does ControlCMS support multiple branches and multiple languages?
Yes. ControlCMS supports multiple branches with per-staff calendars, working hours and resource or room management, so several locations can be run from one panel. The booking page can be shown in the customer's own language and prices in the right currency with VAT, which makes it a fit for businesses serving international or multilingual customers.
Can I add ControlCMS booking to my own website and connect payments?
Yes. You can publish a hosted white-label booking page on your own domain or share its link, and connect a payment provider to collect deposits and full payments. Automatic SMS and email reminders, invoices and e-invoices, coupons and cancellation rules are built in, so the booking flow runs end to end under your brand without extra tools.
