Switching from Calendly

Moving from Calendly to SoloPayLink

If you run a solo service business and want customers to pay in full or leave a deposit when they book, this guide shows how to move over without missing a booking. Calendly has its own features and plans, which change over time, so check their current plans for yourself.

What SoloPayLink does

• One booking link

  Customers choose a service and an open time on your link or QR code.

• Paid when they book

  Customers pay in full or leave a deposit through Stripe, straight into your own Stripe account.

• Reminders and a customer portal

  Customers get reminders and can see their bookings and what they still owe.

• Your calendar

  Confirmed bookings are added to your Google Calendar.

How to switch, step by step

1. Set up your services

   Add each service with its length and price, or let AI setup suggest them from a short description. Starter allows up to 8 services.

2. Set your hours

   Choose your working days, hours, breaks and how much notice you need before a booking.

3. Connect Stripe

   Connect your own Stripe account so customers can pay in full or leave a deposit.

4. Make a test booking

   Open your new link on your phone and book yourself, so you see exactly what customers see.

5. Share your new link

   Replace the old link on your website, social profiles, Google Business Profile and email signature, and print the QR code if you use one.

6. Keep Calendly until you have switched

   Leave Calendly running until every booking already made there has happened, so no customer is left without an appointment. Then close it.

Tip: block out the times of bookings still in Calendly as time off in SoloPayLink, so nobody books the same slot twice while both are running.

What it costs

Starter has no monthly fee. You pay a platform fee only when a customer pays: 1.5% of a full payment or 5% of a deposit. Your customers pay into your own Stripe account, and Stripe's card processing fee is separate. Pro and Business are optional plans that add a website, booking questions, lower fees and more AI help. Compare plans and currencies.
