What people ask us most before they buy the booking theme.

Any business that runs on appointments or reservations. That covers salons, clinics, consultants, classes, studios, event and venue hire, and home-service trades. If your customers need to book a time, it’s for you.
Will I need extra booking plugins?
No. Bookable services, the availability calendar and online payments are built into the theme, so there’s nothing to wire together or renew each month.
Can customers pay a deposit when they book?
Yes. You can take full payment or a deposit at the time of booking, which helps reduce no-shows.
Can I try the booking theme before I buy?
Yes. The live demo runs the real theme, so you can browse its designs and see how services, availability and booking pages work. When you’re ready, it’s a one-time $99 with 6 months of support and updates and unlimited installs on sites you own.
