See everything at a glance - today's appointments, upcoming bookings, and pending confirmations. Manage your bookings in a weekly calendar view or list view.

  • Booking stats at a glance
  • Confirm or cancel bookings with one click
  • Auto-confirm mode - skip the pending step entirely

Data security & POPIA compliance

Your clients trust you with their personal information. Booklink protects it with field-level encryption - every sensitive field is encrypted individually before storage using AES-256 encryption. Each account has its own unique encryption key, so your data is completely isolated.

  • Field-level AES-256 encryption on all client data
  • Per-account encryption keys for full data isolation
  • Envelope encryption - keys are themselves encrypted by master keys
  • POPIA compliant - built for South African privacy law
  • Payments via PCI-DSS certified gateways - card data never stored
  • HTTPS and TLS encryption on all connections
