FAQ
How do I start?
Create your account and pick one of three paths: import clients and services from Vagaro, Square or Fresha, start from the service menu for your type of business, or start from scratch. The checklist in Settings shows what is left before you publish.
How long does it take to go live?
Our goal is under 15 minutes from sign-up to a published booking page for a business with its menu ready. Importing a long client list takes a little longer, and you see a preview before anything is saved.
What is my booking page address?
belcome.app followed by your business name, for example belcome.app/cape-aesthetics. You choose it when you publish, and you can put a Book now button on your own website.
Do my clients need an app?
No. They book on your page from any phone or computer, and they manage the appointment from the link in their confirmation.
How do reminders work?
Every booking gets an email confirmation and a reminder the day before. Clients who opt in at booking also get text messages. Texts never name the service.
Will my clients' text consent come with an import?
No. Text consent does not transfer between systems, so imported clients start without texts and opt in the next time they book. Email reminders work from day one.
I run a med spa. What do I need?
Accept the Business Associate Agreement in Settings before importing clients or publishing. It takes a minute and records who signed and when.
Can I test before going live?
Yes. Book a test visit from the preview of your page. Test bookings are marked as tests and do not send reminders.
How do I add my team?
In Team, invite each person by email and choose their role. They set their own password from the invitation.
Which languages does Belcome speak?
English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Italian, in the app, the booking page and the messages. Each client gets messages in the language they booked in.
Is there an app for my team?
Yes. Belcome Pro is on Google Play for Android phones and tablets. On iPhone, iPad or a computer, open pro.belcome.app in the browser with the same account; the App Store app is on the way.
How do clients pay deposits and card payments?
Open Payments in the app and tap Connect Stripe. Clients then pay deposits and visits online by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and you charge at the desk with a card reader. Stripe sends the money to your bank account on its regular payout schedule. New card connections are open to businesses in the United States.
What happens when my free trial ends?
The free trial lasts 14 days and needs no card. Choose a plan any time in Settings, under Belcome plan. If the trial ends without one, your page keeps taking bookings for 7 more days; after that, online booking and changes pause until you subscribe, and your clients, calendar and history stay as they are.
How do I cancel my plan?
In Settings, under Belcome plan, tap Manage billing and cancel. The plan runs to the end of the period you paid for, and Keep my plan undoes the cancellation until then. Nothing is charged after it ends.
