Use Skedzi to Book Services and Get Paid – Free!
Skedzi allows service providers to build an online presence absolutely free. Service industries such as personal trainers, beauticians, health care providers, financial advisors, tradespeople and more can identify services, prices and scheduling parameters in just minutes.
Then, you as a service provider can enable booking appointments for your clients using Skedzi. Whether you are a single provider or a diverse team, Skedzi will manage everything, including the team, for you.

Key Features
Free and Easy
There are no barriers to keep you from starting now! Skedzi is free to use, no credit check, no paperwork and no need for a complex web integration project. The simplicity of Skedzi also means that you don’t have to pay setup fees or monthly fees that take money away from your growing business.
Free Website For Your Business
Instead of paying to develop a business web page, Skedzi features a business web page that you can customize to your services, fees, team members and business contact information. No coding skills or graphics designers required. Just get started!
Security is Designed Into Skedzi
Skedzi provides secure payment and access for the business owner as well as your clients. Payment processing is done through Stripe (used for other services such as Lyft and AirBnB), and we never store any sensitive payment information on our servers. Payments can be accepted using all major payment methods, including Visa, MasterCard, Amex, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or in-person through chip or tap through a terminal.
Simplified Client Interaction
Business owners have a lot to deal with, and Skedzi assists with implementing rules and management practices that support your business decisions. These include:
- Collect deposits: If deposits are required as part of your business, Skedzi will collect the deposit when your client books an appointment. Skedzi will automatically authorize the rest of the payment the morning of the appointment. If, by any chance, this authorization fails, Skezi will notify you on the morning of the appointment. This is in contrast to most other systems, which notifies you only after the client is done with the service.
- Cancellation fees: If a client cancels a booking or an appointment after the cancellation deadline, you will be able to charge a cancellation fee.
- No show fees: If a client doesn't turn up for their appointment or booking, ‘no-show’ fees can be charged.
- Online Check-in: Skedzi allows customers to check-in online upon arrival to their appointment.
- Service ratings: Customer feedback is helpful to owners and also to new customers.
Customer Friendly Portal
With a broad range of tools to support your customers, Skedzi allows exceptional levels of self service for your clients, freeing up your time, avoiding delays for clients while you maintain control. The customer portal allows customers to reschedule and manage their own appointments as well as manage their payment methods and view their transaction history.
Multiple Services Under One Appointment
Not every business is simple, and revenue opportunities may abound. Skedzi allows a client to book multiple services under a single appointment. A hair salon may offer a cut and wash, or a spa may offer a massage and facial for example, all under one service provider and a single booking.
Electronic Signatures & Secure Documentation Storage
Skedzi supports paperless operations and all agreements and related signatures are electronic and any client information is stored with bank-level security.
Drag and drop intake forms
Many service providers require completion of intake forms. Skedzi allows these to be easily built through drag & drop and to be filled by your clients at the time of booking.
Extensive documentation and training materials
Skedzi is really easy to use, but we still have clear, simple, user-friendly manuals to support the system. As well, there are how-to guides, blogs and articles to help users who may be less familiar with on-line software.
Why choose Skedzi?
The common issues with setting up an online presence are technical complexity, cost and system management. Skedzi alleviates all three of these issues for our clients.
Sign-up is free, setup is quick, easy and painless and there is no technical system to manage. We do that for you. The integrated scheduling and payment systems handle the important parts of your business that will free up your time. Analytics and reporting will help you better understand your customer needs and where you can focus your time and effort to grow your business.
Clients will love it as well, because Skedzi handles fundamental operations that clients want, such as meaningful e-mail and text communications about their appointments, any reports, and payment history.
So why choose Skedzi? Skedzi allows you to focus on your clients, your services and your life. Skedzi does the rest.
