New: Bookings — Turn Appointments and Services Into Real Revenue
Not every Nigerian business sells a physical product. Salons, spas, studios, tutors, consultants, event spaces — a huge slice of commerce here runs on time, not inventory. Until now, SalesCenta was built around products. Today, that changes.
Bookings is live — a full appointment and service-scheduling system, built into the same dashboard you already use to run your store.
Who this is for
Salons, barbershops, and spas booking clients by the hour
Studios — photography, fitness, dance, recording — that run on class or session slots
Tutors, coaches, and consultants who sell their time by appointment
Clinics and wellness practitioners managing patient/client schedules
Event spaces and equipment rentals that need a calendar, not a cart
Any business where "when can I come in?" is the first question a customer asks
If your business runs on a calendar instead of a shelf, this was built for you.
Build your service menu
Set up every service you offer — price, duration, category, and even add-ons customers can tack on (think: an extra treatment on top of a base service). Decide which services customers can book online instantly, and which ones should come through as an enquiry first.
Give every staff member their own calendar
Add your team — stylists, therapists, instructors, whoever runs your services — and assign each person the services they actually deliver. Set their weekly working hours, and block off one-off days when someone's out. Everything shows up on a clean calendar view, so you always know who's free and when.
No more double bookings
This is the part merchants ask for most, and it's handled automatically. If two customers try to grab the same slot with the same staff member, only the first one gets it — the second is told instantly that the time just got taken, and to pick another. No overlapping appointments, no awkward phone calls to sort out a clash.
From request to confirmed, without the back-and-forth
A customer picks a service, a staff member, and a time. We verify their email, hold the slot, and hand them straight to you on WhatsApp to sort out payment and confirm — the way most of your customers already prefer to talk to you. You get an instant alert the moment a new booking comes in, so nothing sits unanswered.
Works everywhere you work
Manage your whole calendar from the web dashboard or the SalesCenta mobile app — build your day, add a walk-in appointment on the spot, or check your team's schedule from your phone between clients.
Quick FAQ
Do customers pay when they book?
Not yet — a booking request holds the slot and hands the customer to you on WhatsApp to sort out payment and confirm directly. Online deposit-at-booking is coming.
What happens if no one confirms a hold?
Unconfirmed holds release automatically after 24 hours, so an abandoned request never blocks a slot forever.
Can I have more than one location?
Yes — bookings are set up per store, so if you run multiple locations you can give each one its own services, staff, and schedule.
Can I add a walk-in appointment myself?
Yes, from the dashboard or the mobile app — add it manually the same way you'd add any other appointment to the calendar.
What plan do I need?
Bookings is available from the Starter plan and up.
