Frequently asked
How long does setup take?
Most owners are live in under 10 minutes. The setup wizard walks you through 8 steps; you can skip any and come back later.
Do I need a website to use timeslot.ie?
No. Every business gets its own page at timeslot.ie/Your_Business_Name. Share that link on Instagram, WhatsApp, business cards, Google Business — done.
What does it cost when a customer pays?
You pay Stripe’s standard fees (1.4% + 25c on EU cards). timeslot.ie does not charge any commission on your bookings.
Can customers reschedule themselves?
Yes — you decide. Set a window (e.g. up to 24h before the appointment) and they get a magic-link to manage their booking.
Is my customer data safe?
Yes. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, stored in the EU, and never used for any purpose other than running your booking page.
Can I export my data if I leave?
Yes. Customers, bookings, and invoices export to CSV with a single click, with no extra cost.
How does double-booking prevention work?
timeslot.ie uses database-level exclusion constraints to prevent overlapping bookings for the same resource. Even if two customers attempt to book the same slot simultaneously, only one booking will succeed.
How do I access the REST API?
The REST API is available on the Standard plan and above. Generate API credentials from Settings > API in your admin dashboard. Webhooks send real-time HTTP POST notifications signed with HMAC-SHA256.
How do refunds work?
When you cancel a booking with a payment, you can issue a full or partial refund through timeslot.ie. The refund is processed via Stripe and typically appears on the customer’s account within 5–10 business days.
Are invoices generated automatically?
Yes. timeslot.ie generates VAT invoices automatically for every payment. Invoices include your business details, Irish VAT number, and are compliant with Revenue requirements.
How do I add staff and control what they can see?
Invite team members from Settings > Team. Each person gets a role (Owner, Manager, or Front-desk) that controls what they can view and edit, and you can give each staff member their own calendar and working hours.
Can I customise the emails and SMS my customers receive?
Yes. Confirmation emails and SMS reminders are sent automatically, and you can edit the templates, set how far ahead reminders go out, and send from your own branded sender name under Settings > Notifications.
