Booking Software for Italian Wellness Professionals: Direct Payment Guide

GurYou is a management system for wellness professionals that includes online payment processing on its Grow plan and above. This guide explains how to configure class scheduling, service catalogs, and booking widgets to accept payments directly. It covers the specific plan requirements for each feature and provides a comparison of GurYou's pricing tiers.

Class Scheduling

Class scheduling is the process of creating recurring or one-off group sessions that clients can book. In GurYou, you can publish a catalog of classes and events on the Base plan, which is free. This allows you to manage availability and receive bookings without any upfront cost. If you want to accept online payments for these classes, you must upgrade to the Grow plan or higher. The Grow plan includes online payments, cancellation periods, and subscriptions. This distinction is critical because the Base plan handles booking management and catalog creation but does not process transactions.

Service Catalog Creation

A service catalog is a structured list of the individual treatments, sessions, or products you offer. GurYou allows you to create and manage this catalog on the free Base plan. You can define services and classes, set their durations, and organize them for client visibility. While the Base plan supports this catalog creation, it does not include the ability to take online payments for these services. To enable direct payment processing for your service catalog, you need the Grow plan, which adds online payment capabilities. This ensures that clients can book and pay for individual services directly through the platform. For additional details, review the Book a free GurYou.

Online Booking Widgets

An online booking widget is a code snippet that embeds your booking interface directly into your existing website. This feature is available on the Grow plan and above. It allows clients to book and pay without leaving your site, maintaining brand consistency. The Base plan does not include website integration or widgets. By using the Grow plan, you can integrate your GurYou booking system into your web presence. This integration is essential for professionals who want to keep their clients on their own domain while using GurYou for backend management and payment processing.

Client Management

Client management is the function of storing and organizing client profiles, history, and contact details. GurYou includes client management in its free Base plan. This allows you to build a database of your clients, track their bookings, and manage their information. While the Base plan covers the core management needs, it lacks the advanced retention tools found in higher tiers. For example, subscriptions and waiting lists are features of the Grow plan. If your business model relies on recurring memberships or managing high demand through waiting lists, you will need to upgrade beyond the free tier to access these specific client retention tools.

Online Booking Integration

Staff Scheduling

Staff scheduling is the process of managing the availability of multiple practitioners or collaborators. This feature is available on the Grow plan and above. It allows you to assign specific staff members to classes or services and manage their individual calendars. The Base plan is designed for solo professionals and does not include staff or collaborator management. If you run a center with multiple trainers, nutritionists, or yoga instructors, the Grow plan is necessary to coordinate their schedules. This ensures that clients can book specific practitioners and that their availability is accurately reflected in the booking system.
