Question 1

Does schdl.me charge commission on bookings?

Accepted Answer

No. schdl.me charges 0% commission on every booking, on every plan, forever. You keep 100% of what your clients pay. There are no hidden fees, no marketplace charges, and no per-booking fees.

Question 2

How does schdl.me reduce no-shows?

Accepted Answer

schdl.me sends automatic SMS and email reminders to your clients before every appointment. Email reminders are always free. SMS reminders are included in your monthly plan allowance (100–1,000 per month depending on plan). You can also collect deposits at booking to reduce cancellations.

Question 3

Do I need to change how my clients book appointments?

Accepted Answer

No. You can enter appointments manually — from phone calls, walk-ins, or WhatsApp — and schdl.me will handle the reminders and client records automatically. The online booking page is there when you want it, but it is not required.

Question 4

How much does schdl.me cost?

Accepted Answer

Plans start at £9/month for solo practitioners (1 seat) and go up to £89/month for teams of 10. All plans include every feature — the only difference is the number of seats and monthly SMS allowance. There are no setup fees and no commission.

Question 5

How does payment processing work with schdl.me?

Accepted Answer

Payments are entirely optional and entirely your choice. You can accept payments however suits your business — in person, over the phone, by bank transfer, or online via card. If you choose to take online payments or deposits, schdl.me partners with Stripe, one of the world's most trusted payment providers. Stripe's standard card processing rate applies (1.4% + 20p for UK cards). schdl.me earns nothing from your payments — we take 0% commission.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

schdl.me is designed for UK appointment-based micro-businesses including hair salons, barbershops, beauty therapists, massage therapists, nail salons, personal trainers, driving instructors, physiotherapists, pet groomers, tutors, and more.
