Booking software for aesthetics and skin clinics

Aesthetic and skin clinics sell consultations, single treatments, and courses of treatments spaced weeks apart — plus the skincare that supports them.

What usually goes wrong

Courses are the profitable product and the hardest to administer: six appointments, one payment, spread over months. Most systems cannot express that, so reception tracks it manually and clients drift after session two.

What changes when booking lives in the checkout

A course is sold once and scheduled as a group of appointments that stay linked. Attendance is visible, so a client who has stopped showing up is obvious while there is still time to call.

• One payment rail. Deposits and full payments settle through the provider you already use. No second checkout, no month-end reconciliation between two systems.
• One customer record. The person who has booked nine times stops looking like a stranger, so you can reward them, segment them and follow up.
• Deposits that actually reduce no-shows. A deposit is just a price, so it works like any other line item.
• Abandoned-booking recovery. A half-finished booking is an abandoned cart, and Shopify already knows how to chase those.
• Products and time in one basket. A course and the homecare products are one purchase.

What it takes

Three to five working days on an existing Shopify store. Two to three weeks if the store gets built at the same time. The slow part is almost never the software — it is deciding exactly what you sell, at what price, in what length of session.
