OpenSlot is a workspace for salon, clinic, and independent-team calendars, clients, payments, conversations, staff, and websites. Its online booking supports real-time availability, staff selection, deposits, reminders, and automatic confirmations. The calendar includes drag-and-drop scheduling, conflict detection, and SMS waitlist auto-fill. Payment tools cover deposits, refunds, saved payment methods, and payment links, with card processing via Stripe. A shared inbox combines SMS, in-app chat, and email, with built-in translation for 40+ languages. Businesses can publish a mobile-ready website with booking, using a custom domain or a free OpenSlot address. Listed integrations include calendar, accounting, marketing, messaging, and payment services such as Google Calendar, Apple iCal, Outlook, Xero, QuickBooks, Instagram, Slack, Square Reader, SumUp, WhatsApp, and Treatwell. iOS and Android apps support management of bookings, payments, and client messages. During launch, the Business plan is 0.00 GBP per free for core tools, with SMS billed separately by usage; the pricing page says a premium plan may be added later.
