What does it cost? Do you take a commission?+
The website and online booking are part of the free plan, and there is no commission per booking. Pro, with your own domain and without the Zotview badge, costs $19 a month.
Can I build the site in Arabic?+
Yes. Pick Arabic as the site language before the preview is built, and the AI writes your treatments, the salon description and the booking page text in Arabic. Say in the form that you are a women-only salon so it appears on the home page.
Can brides pay a deposit online?+
Yes, if you want: add your own payment provider's link (iyzico, PayTR, Moyasar, Tap or any other) in the booking settings, and clients see the deposit or price before they book and pay on the provider's page. The money goes straight to you; Zotview never holds it. Without a link, clients pay in person as before. Use a request form for bridal enquiries and agree the details with the bride directly.
Can clients book with a specific stylist?+
Not at the moment. Bookings go into one shared schedule for the salon; there are no separate calendars per team member. You decide how many clients each time takes.
Do clients get a reminder before their appointment?+
Clients who leave an email receive the booking confirmation and, for bookings made more than a day ahead, a reminder email the day before (you can change or turn this off). Zotview doesn't send SMS or WhatsApp reminders. Right after booking, clients also see a "Send confirmation on WhatsApp" button: one tap opens a chat with your business with the service, date, time and booking code filled in, ready to send. The button shows when your business phone is a mobile number.
How do I prepare for Eid and the wedding season in Dammam?+
In the week before Eid, lengthen your weekday hours in Zotview, and give your weekend days longer hours in the wedding season; set how many clients each slot takes to the stylists working. Clients book the free times from your link instead of messaging late at night, and afterwards you go back to your usual week.
