Croc Bookings

CrocBookings — Bookings, Simplified. Running a service business is hard enough. Managing your schedule shouldn't be. CrocBookings is the all-in-one booking platform built for South African service businesses — from hair salons and nail techs to fitness trainers and wellness studios. Whether you're a solo operator or running a full team, CrocBookings puts you in control. For Business Owners Set up your business in minutes. Add your services, your team, and your hours — and start accepting bookings the same day. CrocBookings handles the chaos so you can focus on what you do best. Smart Scheduling — Each member of your team gets their own calendar, working hours, and leave management. Clients only see available slots, so double-bookings are a thing of the past. Deposit Collection — Protect your time and your income. Require a deposit upfront, share your banking details automatically, and let clients upload their proof of payment directly in the app. You can even set an auto-cancel window — if a deposit doesn't arrive within 1 to 24 hours, the booking is cancelled automatically and both you and the client are notified. No awkward follow-ups, no no-shows eating into your day. Events — Running a workshop, masterclass, or group session? Create an event, set your capacity and pricing, and let clients book their spots. Deposits work for events too, and you get a full attendee list with payment status at a glance. Booking Confirmation — Choose whether bookings are confirmed automatically or require your approval first. When you confirm, the client is notified instantly. Reminders — Never walk into a booking unprepared. Set a reminder window (anywhere from 5 to 60 minutes before a booking) and get a push notification with the client's name, service, and time — right when you need it. Your Own Booking Link — Share a personalised URL with your clients. They land directly on your business page, pick a service, and book — no account required to browse. Works on iOS, Android, and the web. Booking Policy — Set your cancellation, refund, and deposit policy once. It's shown to every client before they confirm, so there are no surprises on either side. For Clients Finding and booking a service has never been easier. Browse local businesses, view their services and availability, and book your appointment in under a minute. Instant Booking — Pick your service, choose your provider, select a time that works for you, and you're done. A confirmation lands in your notifications immediately. Proof of Payment Upload — When a business requires a deposit, pay via EFT and upload your PoP straight from the app. No WhatsApp back-and-forth, no waiting for a confirmation call. My Bookings & Events — All your upcoming appointments and event registrations live in one place. See your booking status, upload PoP, or cancel — whenever you need to. Notifications — Stay in the loop. Get notified when your booking is confirmed, when a business proposes a reschedule, and when changes happen to events you've registered for. Built for Growth Start on the Solo plan with one service provider, and scale up as your team grows — up to 10 providers on the Pro plan. Every plan includes unlimited bookings, client notifications, and full access to the platform. Subscriptions are managed through the App Store or Google Play, with support for promotional offer codes on iOS. CrocBookings is listed in the app for clients to discover you. No website, no complicated setup — just a business profile that works.
