Onbookr is designed to get you accepting bookings quickly. Create an account, set your availability, and share your booking link — no complex form builder or multi-step configuration required.
Drop Onbookr onto any website with two lines of HTML. No domain restrictions, no API key, no developer required. It works on WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, and plain HTML.
Onbookr's Individual and Business plans are straightforward flat rates. As your booking volume grows, your monthly cost stays the same — no per-booking fees or tier upgrades forced by usage limits.
Onbookr sends WhatsApp and email reminders automatically before every appointment. You configure once and the reminders run without any manual work on your part.
