Booking

Build a Booking System
with AI

Calendars, time slots, payments, and confirmations—generated from a description of your business. No coding, no monthly per-user fees.

Calendly charges $8-16/user/month. Acuity costs $16-49/month. Booksy starts at $29.99/month. Build a custom booking system you own outright and pay nothing per seat.

Why Build a Custom Booking System?

Off-the-shelf booking tools charge per user, per month, forever. They look the same as every other business using the same platform, and they lock your customer data inside their system. When you outgrow their feature set, you start over.

A custom booking system matches your exact workflow. Set appointment durations that fit your services, not a generic 30/60 minute grid. Collect the intake information you actually need. Apply your cancellation policy automatically. Accept payments through your own Stripe account with no platform middleman taking a cut.

GenMB generates the full application—calendar interface, time slot availability engine, booking forms, Stripe payment integration, and email confirmations via SendGrid or Resend. Deploy as a PWA and your customers book from their phone without downloading an app. You own the code, the data, and the customer relationship.

Everything a Booking System Needs

Stripe for payments, Supabase for data, SendGrid or Resend for emails—all wired together by AI into a booking system that runs itself.

24/7 Self-Service Booking

No more phone tag or back-and-forth emails. Customers pick a time that works, confirm instantly, and show up. You wake up to a full schedule instead of a voicemail box.

Payment Collection at Booking

Collect deposits or full payments when customers book using the Stripe plugin. Reduce no-shows by 80% when money is on the line. Automatic refund handling for cancellations.

Automated Confirmations and Reminders

Send booking confirmations and reminders via SendGrid or Resend. Customers get an email the moment they book and a reminder before their appointment. No manual follow-up needed.

Custom Scheduling Rules

Set buffer time between appointments, limit maximum daily bookings, block holidays, and define service-specific durations. Your booking system enforces your rules so you don't have to.

How to Build a Booking System with GenMB

Five steps from blank page to live booking link.

1

Define Your Scheduling Rules

Decide your available hours, appointment durations, buffer times, and cancellation policy. Know what services you offer and how long each takes. This becomes the foundation of your booking logic.

2

Describe Your Booking System to GenMB

Tell GenMB what you need: services offered, durations, availability windows, and booking flow. Mention calendar views, time slot selection, and any intake forms. Enable Agent Mode for multi-page systems with admin dashboards.

3

Enable Stripe for Payment Collection

Add the Stripe plugin to collect deposits or full payments at booking time. Configure pricing per service, set up cancellation refund rules, and accept cards instantly. No payment integration code to write.

4

Add Supabase for Booking Data

Store appointments, customer details, and availability in Supabase. Query upcoming bookings, track no-shows, and build waitlists. Your booking data is structured and queryable from day one.

5

Deploy and Share Your Booking Link

Deploy to a subdomain and share the link on your website, social media, or Google Business profile. Customers book from any device—GenMB apps work as PWAs, so mobile booking feels native without an app store listing.

Booking System Questions

Can customers pay when booking?▼
Yes. Enable the Stripe plugin and customers pay a deposit or the full service price at the time of booking. Stripe handles card processing, receipts, and refunds. You configure the amount per service—flat fee, percentage deposit, or full prepayment. Payments are deposited directly to your Stripe account.
Can I set custom availability and business hours?▼
Yes. Define your working hours per day of the week, block specific dates for holidays or time off, set buffer time between appointments, and cap the number of bookings per day or per time slot. You can also set different availability per service type—for example, consultations only on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Does the booking system send confirmation emails?▼
Yes. Add SendGrid or Resend as an email provider and your system sends automatic confirmation emails when a booking is created, reminder emails before the appointment, and cancellation notices. You control the templates and timing. No manual sending required.
Can I build a booking system without coding?▼
Yes. Describe your booking requirements to GenMB in plain language and AI generates the full application—calendar UI, time slot logic, booking forms, payment integration, and email notifications. You refine through chat, not code. The result is a real web app you own and can deploy anywhere.
