Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

How does it work?

How-it-works

1) Your clients go to your website* where you have set up a link like "Schedule an Appointment" that opens the Flash Appointments Client Scheduler.

2) Your client selects a date, service, and an opening that suits his/her schedule, enters contact information and confirms the appointment.

3) A confirmation email is sent to your client and to the staff member providing the service.

4) A reminder email is sent to the client the day before the appointment.

*It is not required that you have a web site, though it is recommended. See Do I need a web site... below.

Can I purchase the software and run it on my own servers?

Flash Appointments is not available for purchase. The scheduling software resides on Flash Appointment's servers. You won't ever have to worry about installing and maintaing the software. You don't need any special equipment or expertise to use Flash Appointments. All you have to do is keep your business settings up to date and you can accept online appointments around the clock.

Where do I enter my billing information after the free trial?

Log in to Your Account and go to the Account Billing option. For security you will have to re-enter your username and password. Enter your credit card information. Also, be sure to complete the Recurring Billing Authorization so that you can be sure to get uninterrupted service.

Don't worry about making a long term committment. You can cancel at any time!
