What a consultant needs from booking software
A discovery call that books itself
A free 20-minute call is on your page from day one. It needs no approval, it's shown as Online on the booking, and you send your meeting link from the booking.
Consultations, in person or online
Initial and follow-up consultations at your office, an online consultation at the same rate, and a half-day workshop that holds a 25% deposit. Each arrives as a request you confirm with one tap.
The brief before the meeting
Their business, their role, what they want help with, where they're at and how they found you, asked at booking and kept with it.
A consulting booking page, with your services already on it
Pick Consultant & professional services at sign-up and these services, prices and booking questions are pre-filled. Change anything, or let AI draft them for you.
One new client, from discovery call to invoice
She books a discovery call from LinkedIn
From the link in your LinkedIn profile or the Book now button on your website, she picks Free discovery call, Tuesday at 11 am, names her business and role, and writes that she needs help with cash flow before a bank meeting.
The call, then the consultation
You send your meeting link from the booking and take the call. Afterwards she books Initial consultation at your office; the request lands on your phone and one tap confirms it.
The reminder, and what to bring
A free email reminder goes out the day before. If she asks what to bring, you answer by SMS from her booking, so the exchange is where you'll find it next time.
After the consultation
$250 by card, bank transfer or cash. Record it and the invoice goes out on its own, a GST tax invoice if you're registered. The half-day workshop she books next holds a 25% deposit.
You do the work.
We'll handle the money.
Take a card deposit when they book — through your own Stripe account, so the money lands with you, never with us. Settle the rest by card, bank transfer or cash and the invoice goes out on its own — a GST tax invoice if you’re registered. No monthly fee: 1.5% on card payments, 50¢ when you record a cash or bank payment.
Questions consultants ask us
Can clients book a free discovery call?
Yes. The Consultant & professional services setup starts with a free 20-minute discovery call that clients book straight in, no approval needed. Paid consultations arrive as requests you confirm.
Do online consultations work?
Yes. An online consultation is a service like any other, shown as Online on the booking. Send your video-call link from the booking, by email or SMS.
Do I have to confirm every booking?
Paid consultations are paid afterwards, so each arrives as a request and you confirm it with one tap, which keeps your calendar yours. Set a service to full payment at booking, untick approval, and it confirms itself once Stripe is connected.
Can I take a deposit for workshops?
Yes. The half-day workshop holds a 25% deposit on the client's card when it's booked, charged when you approve it. Set any percentage on any service; card payments go through your own Stripe account.
Does it suit accountants, lawyers and financial planners?
Yes. The setup is the same for any professional who sells their time by appointment: rename the consultations, set your hours, and add your own questions to the booking form.
How much does it cost a consultant?
There is no monthly fee. GoBookka charges 1.5% on card payments and 50c when you record a cash or bank transfer payment, and every new business gets $20 of launch credit at signup.
