How it works

Post a Slot

02
Share the link
Drop it in your bio, a story, a DM, or a group chat. Your audience becomes your booking engine.
03
First to claim wins
The first person to tap it books and pays instantly. The Slot locks so no one double-books.

Questions

Will I lose marketplace discovery with Slot’d?

Slot’d isn’t a marketplace — it’s your own link. If most of your business comes from people you already reach (social, referrals, repeat clients), that’s exactly who Slot’d is for.

Can clients pay a deposit?

Yes — take a deposit or full payment at booking via Stripe, which sharply cuts no-shows.

What does Slot’d cost?

Start free — up to 8 bookings a month, and Slot’d takes no cut of any of them. Solo is $19/mo ($190/yr) for unlimited bookings, SMS reminders and no-show refill; Team is $39/mo ($390/yr) for up to 5 staff. Card payments run through Stripe at Stripe’s standard rate.
