Taking an appointment is only the beginning. Behind every booking are service choices, staff schedules, checkout details and a team that needs to know what happens next.
DD Appointments connects booking inside Shopify with standalone manager and staff portals. Whether your customers visit a studio or your team travels to them, it helps bring the booking journey and day-to-day coordination together.
Booking inside your Shopify storefront
DD Appointments embeds booking within your store and maps and syncs services from the Shopify products you select. Customers can choose their service and book without moving to a separate booking website.
Product variants stay connected throughout the journey. Selections and booking changes carry through to the Shopify cart and checkout, keeping the chosen service linked to the booking.
Add-ons that stay with the main service
Smart add-ons must accompany a main service before checkout. This helps keep complementary treatments or extras connected to the appointment they belong to.
One studio, different roles
The manager and staff portals give your team access to booking operations beyond the storefront, with different responsibilities kept clear.
For studio managers
The standalone manager portal supports managing services, staff schedules and appointments. Managers review the Shopify order and confirm appointments manually.
For staff
The standalone staff portal lets staff view their assigned appointments and mark visits complete, helping the team keep appointment records up to date.
Support for services on the move
For mobile services, customers enter the postcode where they want their appointment. DD Appointments matches them with eligible staff based on service coverage and availability.
This connects the requested location with the people available to deliver the service, rather than treating every booking as a visit to one fixed venue.
Give customers time to complete checkout
A 10-minute appointment hold reserves the selected slot while the customer completes payment. It gives the booking journey a defined window between choosing a time and completing checkout.
Payment is not automatically verified by the app. Managers review the Shopify order and manually confirm the appointment.
Practical tools for everyday coordination
- Weekly availability settings.
- Preparation gaps between appointments.
- Branded booking pages.
- Confirmation emails with calendar options.
- One opt-in SMS reminder.
