How To Set Up Online Scheduling
Overview
Online scheduling is one of the best ways to capture more leads and provide better service to your clients. vCita online scheduling software allows potential and existing clients to schedule a consultation, an appointment or a service. Clients can schedule appoints instantly, on any device and with any staff member based on your up-to-date availability. vCita will also save you time on client coordination, reminders, follow-ups, reschedules and even billing and payments – all in one cloud-based client management solution.
We have partnered with vCita to offer online scheduling for your website. A separate vCita account is required to use this feature, but you can register inside the website editor.
