Questions

Can clients pay a deposit when they book?

Yes. A booked service is paid at checkout, and the slot is held while they pay.

What is the best booking software for photographers?

One that books the date, takes payment and reminds the client in one go. Wakato's booking pages check your calendar, take payment at checkout, send reminders before the shoot, and an AI agent answers inquiries and books while you're working.

Can the AI answer inquiries while I'm on a shoot?

Yes. It replies to calls, emails, website chat and Instagram or Facebook DMs, asks for the date, location and type of shoot, and books it if the date is free. Anything unusual is passed to you.

Can I share galleries with clients?

Yes. An agent can make a gallery page for each client from the photos in your Assets, and if you replace a file in Assets the page shows the new one.

Can it post my work on social media?

Yes. A social agent drafts posts from your photos for Instagram, TikTok and the other networks you connect, and publishing can be set to wait for your approval.

Does it work with my Google Calendar?

Yes. Connect your Google or Outlook calendar and booking pages hide the times it shows as busy; each new booking can also be copied onto it.
