Connect a booking provider
Use a supported scheduling service when it already handles your availability, reminders and payments. We make the journey fit the website.
Your customers should be able to find a service, choose a suitable time and understand what happens next. We build booking experiences around the way your business actually schedules work, including the details that an ordinary calendar cannot handle.
Custom appointment booking development starts with the rules behind an appointment: services, staff, locations, availability and what happens when plans change.
Use a supported scheduling service when it already handles your availability, reminders and payments. We make the journey fit the website.
Define service durations, preparation time, shared resources and staff schedules when a standard calendar cannot represent your business.
Agree cancellation windows, rescheduling, confirmation messages and what the team can change through the administration interface.
Availability must be checked when an appointment is saved, not only when a time is displayed. We scope server-side validation, concurrent booking handling and clear responses when a slot is no longer available. Payment and calendar synchronization need their own failure and retry rules.
Projects are delivered remotely, with scope and review times agreed around your team.
Melos develops and integrates online appointment booking systems for US service businesses. The scope starts with services, staff, availability and scheduling rules. Payments, reminders, customer accounts and administration can be included when required, with a clear distinction between a booking request and a confirmed appointment.
A connection to an existing booking provider differs from a custom scheduling engine. Staff and resource rules, multiple locations, deposits, memberships and migration of existing bookings add work. Provider subscriptions, payment processing and message charges should be visible separately from development.
We need the service list, durations, staff rules, time zones and cancellation policies before building availability. Test accounts for payment and calendar providers are needed for connected journeys. Agree how existing appointments will be preserved and how the team will handle exceptions at launch.
These are Melos starting points for common scopes. We confirm the exact price after reviewing your pages, data, integrations and goals.
