Tool

Booking and payment forms

People search for an appointment scheduler when they want a calendar with open slots. Request Forms can collect a requested date and time and take a Stripe deposit. It does not show live availability and it does not sync a calendar.

The job

Let someone request a slot and pay a deposit.

What Request Forms can do

Date and time questions for the requested slot.
Stripe Connect payments on the same form.
Logic, required fields, and a notify email on submit.

No Google Calendar or Outlook sync.
No automatic reminder SMS.
Two people can request the same time. You resolve that in the inbox.

How to build it

Connect Stripe on the organization if you want a deposit.
Insert a Payment block for the deposit amount.
Publish the form. Confirm the slot from the response inbox.
