Hey Product Hunt I'm Chike, founder of Buk.ng, built by Buk Technologies Limited in Nigeria. The problem: Salons, barbers, spas, clinics and consultants in Nigeria mostly run on WhatsApp chats, phone calls and paper appointment books. The result is double bookings, no-shows, and owners who spend their day answering "are you free at 3pm?" What Buk.ng does: it runs the whole appointment business in one place, in Naira, on the web and in the Buk for Business app (iOS and Android). Your own booking page. Customers pick a service and a staff member and book a free slot. You get a free yourname.buk.ng link. Deposits that hold the slot. You can charge a booking fee per service, confirm bank transfers, issue refunds cleanly, and get paid out to your own bank account. Staff calendars and roles. Each person gets their own schedule, and you decide who sees the money. Reminders customers read. These go out by WhatsApp, SMS and email. On paid plans you can also run win-back, birthday and loyalty messages. Point of sale, invoices and stock. You can ring up services and products at the counter and hand over receipts. An AI assistant. Ask "How did Ada do this month?" and get answers from your real bookings. It also flags bookings likely to be missed, and you can photograph your paper appointment book to import it. Nothing changes until you reply CONFIRM. Customers can discover businesses by city and book with a deposit. No commission on your bookings, ever. There's a free plan, and Starter and Pro both have free trials. Why I built it: I wanted a barber or spa owner in Lagos, Abuja or Kano to get a booking experience that works the way Nigerian businesses actually do: Naira-first, mobile-first and WhatsApp-first. I'd love your feedback: What would make you trust a booking and deposit tool with your business? Which feature would matter most for your type of business? If you've built for emerging markets, what would you do differently? I'll be here all day. Thanks for checking us out!
