Hello Product Hunt! 👋 Brock here, founder of Openbookings.
I built this because a family member was running her lash business through Instagram DMs, Venmo, and a notes app. Every booking platform she tried took a cut of her money or charged her monthly whether she was busy or slow.
So I built her a better option — and then realized every barber, nail tech, braid artist, and esthetician deserved the same thing.
Here's what makes Openbookings different:
💰 0% transaction fees — your clients pay you directly via Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or any method you choose
🎨 Your own branded booking page (yourname.openbookings.app)
⏰ Automated SMS + email reminders at 24hr and 2hr
🛡️ Deposit requests to protect your time
📅 Google Calendar sync — automatic
📋 80+ beauty-specific service templates (barber, lash, braids, nails, etc.)
⚡ Go live in under 3 minutes

🚀 Launch week offer:

Happy to answer any questions — ask me anything! 🙌
@brockkai How many beauty pros are still using Square or Booksy and just eating those transaction fees every month? Feels like this market has been waiting for something like this! 🔥🔥
@fav_dani Definitley! Thank you!
@brockkai I am in the janitors business, do you think I can get this for our scheduling business?
@samuel_fapohunda, the templates are completely configurable. You may have to upload your own images, as the available stock images do not include janitorial services. Services, descriptions, and everything else are fully editable. Thanks for asking. Sign up and see for yourself!
@brockkai The deposit request feature is so clutch for no-show protection — is that configurable per service, or is it a blanket setting for the whole booking page?
@teach_ru Yes, it is. Can be configured by % as well as a dollar value, set at a service level. Do try it out!
@brockkai Okay so I'm not super tech savvy — if I already got clients booking through my Instagram, how hard is it to actually switch them over to this? Do I just send them a link or is there some whole setup process I gotta walk them through? Looks interesting!
@samara_sele If you share your site's url, your customers can bookmark it. No, there is no process to it. Please feel free to explore the customer journey demos on the landing page at openbooks.app. Thanks for checking out my post!
