Can clients book and pay online without calling me?

Yes. The Bizzly booking portal handles the entire process, job type selection, description, date choice, and Stripe payment, without you being involved.

What job information can I capture at the booking stage?

You define the form fields. Standard fields include job description, property address, access details, photos, number of rooms, property type, anything you need to plan and price the visit.

Can I set different prices for different job types?

Yes. Each service (boiler service, leak repair, full rewire) has its own fixed price displayed to clients when booking.

Can I handle emergency callouts via the booking system?

Yes. Emergency slots with a callout fee can be booked online in real time. Marked as urgent in your dashboard the instant the booking is confirmed.

Can clients reschedule or cancel their booking online?

Yes. Within your cancellation window, clients reschedule or cancel from the portal. Late cancellations are handled per your stated cancellation terms.

Can I sync bookings with my Google Calendar?

Yes. Confirmed job bookings appear in your Google Calendar automatically. Essential for trades businesses managing jobs from a mobile on the road.

Can I send a "ready in 30 minutes" WhatsApp when I'm on my way?

Yes. WhatsApp messages can be sent directly from the job record in the Bizzly mobile view, personalised with the client's name and job reference.

Trades Software

Trades Booking Software

Trades booking software lets clients book jobs, pay online, and schedule work, without calling or texting you to check availability, get a quote, or chase a confirmation. Bizzly requires full payment at the point of online booking, so every job in your calendar is financially committed before you allocate materials, driving time, or labour.

What is Trades Booking Software?

Trades booking software replaces the "give me a ring and we'll sort a date" approach with an online job booking system that pre-qualifies, collects payment, and schedules work automatically.

✓ Clients book a job type, select a date, and pay the full job price online
✓ Job details, address, access information captured at booking
✓ Full payment required before the slot is confirmed
✓ WhatsApp confirmation and reminder sent with job details
✓ Emergency callout and standard scheduled bookings both supported

The result is a committed job pipeline rather than an uncertain quote pipeline, with every slot backed by a confirmed Stripe payment and every client expecting you at the agreed time.

The problems trades booking software solves

Manual workarounds that cost trades businesses hours every week.

A full week lost to "I'll call you back to confirm the date" clients

A client who asked for a slot, seemed keen, and then never confirmed has cost you the week. Requiring full upfront payment to confirm the booking filters serious clients instantly.

Showing up to jobs where access wasn't arranged and the client has gone to work

An online booking form that captures access arrangements, gate codes, and key holder details before you travel prevents wasted journeys.

Emergency callouts with no existing client record

For common trades work, a new client can book an emergency slot online, describe the problem, provide their address, and pay a callout fee, all before you respond.

Quoting dozens of small jobs that never materialise

An online job type selector with transparent price ranges pre-qualifies job enquiries. Clients who see your pricing and proceed are significantly more likely to convert.

How Bizzly works

From sign-up to your first paid booking in under 15 minutes.

Choose your industry Launch Pack

Pick the pre-configured template for your industry. Subscription plans, booking calendar, and Stripe payments are already set up, just add your services and rates.

Customer pays first, then books

A customer subscribes or buys a session pack. Stripe processes the payment. Bizzly creates their quota. They can now book sessions up to their limit.

Calendar enforces quota automatically

The booking calendar only shows slots to customers who have available quota. No double-bookings, no unpaid slots, no manual checking, the system handles it.

The Solution

How Bizzly handles trades booking software

Purpose-built features for trades businesses — not bolted-on workarounds.

Job type booking with description and photos

Clients choose the job type (boiler service, leak repair, rewire, plastering), describe the issue, upload photos, give the address, and book a date, all in one flow.

Detailed job booking capture

Full payment at booking

The full service price is charged via Stripe at the point of booking confirmation. Clients who aren't willing to pay upfront to secure the slot save you the wasted visit.

Payment-confirmed booking

WhatsApp job confirmation and reminder

Clients receive a WhatsApp booking confirmation with the date, time, and job reference. A second WhatsApp is sent 24 hours before as a reminder with any pre-visit instructions.

WhatsApp job reminders

Emergency callout service booking

Emergency callout jobs (with a callout fee charged immediately) are booked separately from standard scheduled slots, with urgent availability shown in real time.

Emergency booking flow

Real-world use cases

How trades booking software works in practice.

Use case 1

Plumber taking new boiler service bookings online

Client visits website, selects "Annual Boiler Service", sees available dates in the next 3 weeks, books a morning slot, pays the £30 booking fee, and receives a WhatsApp confirmation. Zero contact required.

Use case 2

Electrician capturing job details at booking

A homeowner books a consumer unit replacement. The booking form captures property type, number of circuits, access details, and photos of the existing setup. Arrive the job already briefed.

Use case 3

Builder pre-qualifying renovation enquiries

A bathroom renovation booking requires full payment upfront. Clients who complete the booking form and pay are serious. Those who don't continue elsewhere. Pipeline quality improves immediately.

Use case 4

Emergency leak callout

A new client finds you on Google at 9am. Books an emergency slot for £85 callout fee via the website. You have the address, described fault, and payment in 3 minutes without a call.
