Booking software for coworking and venue hire

Coworking spaces and venues sell desks by the day, meeting rooms by the hour, and event spaces by the evening — each with different capacity and pricing.

What usually goes wrong

Room booking usually runs on a shared calendar with invoicing afterwards, so utilisation is unknown, payment is slow, and double-bookings are resolved by apology.

What changes when booking lives in the checkout

Each space is a bookable resource with its own capacity and rate. Payment happens at booking, not thirty days later.

• 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 member books a room and adds catering in one checkout.

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.
