The everyday reality

You've outgrown basic booking tools

As your team grows, the gaps between disconnected tools turn into wasted hours and missed revenue. Cicini closes them.

Missed bookings

Phone tag and after-hours requests slip through the cracks — and become lost revenue.

Scattered tools

Calendars, spreadsheets, payment links, and reminders that never quite talk to each other.

Endless admin

Staff spend hours confirming, rescheduling, and chasing no-shows instead of serving clients.

No clear picture

Without unified reporting, it's hard to see what's working across staff and locations.

Why service businesses use Cicini

Fewer missed calls

Online booking handles demand around the clock so your staff can stay focused.

Fewer no-shows

Automated reminders keep clients informed and reduce day-of schedule gaps.

No double-bookings

Google Calendar outbound sync (beta) and staff scheduling help prevent conflicts within your org.

Payments built in

Collect full price or a per-service deposit via Stripe checkout on paid plans in the same booking workflow.

Everything in one place

One connected system for the whole operation

From the first booking to the final payment, every part of your business stays in sync.

Online booking

24/7 self-service scheduling with custom booking pages. Share a public booking link or embed an iframe widget on your website. Copy the snippet from Dashboard → Settings → Integrations. Standalone QR packs and advanced theming remain on the roadmap.

Staff scheduling

Multi-staff calendars, availability rules, and effortless shift coordination across your team.

Calendar sync

Google Calendar sync (beta): new Cicini bookings push to Google, and two-way busy-time blocking can hide slots when your personal Google calendar is busy (enable two-way on connect). Outlook and Apple Calendar sync are on the roadmap.

Payments

Stripe checkout at booking is available on paid plans: full price or a per-service deposit (fixed amount or percent). Paid plans can also issue and redeem gift cards at appointment checkout. Client packages, memberships, and public gift-card self-purchase are on the roadmap.

Automation

Automated reminders and booking confirmations (not a visual multi-step workflow builder). Automated email reminders on all plans. SMS reminders on paid plans via Cicini’s platform sender (plan quotas apply). Connecting your own Twilio account is not available yet.

Client experience

Create custom intake forms with typed questions and share a public fill link. Responses are stored in your dashboard. Legal documents and policies can be published with a public e-sign link for customer acknowledgements. Social booking helps every visit feel personal.

Team & operations

Role-based access and dashboards with reporting you can act on. Multi-location branches are on the roadmap. Single-org scheduling works today.

Integrations & API

Professional and Enterprise plans include API keys and outbound webhooks (limited quotas on Pro). Self-serve developer docs and a broader public REST surface are still maturing — not a full public API product yet.

How it works

Live in a day, not a quarter

Cicini scales from solo practitioners to multi-location teams — without heavy implementation.

01

Set up your services

Add your services, staff, availability, and pricing. Connect your calendar and payment account in minutes — no technical setup required.

02

Share your booking page

Publish a custom booking page and share your public booking link. Clients book themselves, around the clock, on any device. Iframe embed widgets are on the roadmap.

03

Let automation take over

Confirmations, reminders, payments, and follow-ups run automatically — so your team can focus on delivering great service.

Frequently asked questions

What is Cicini scheduling software?

Cicini is online booking and scheduling software for service businesses — salons, clinics, wellness studios, and professional teams. Clients book 24/7; you manage staff, services, reminders, and payments from one dashboard.

Is there a free booking system?

Yes. Cicini offers a Free plan with core online booking and email reminders. Paid plans add SMS reminders, Stripe checkout, and more team capacity. Every paid plan includes a 30-day free trial.

Does Cicini sync with Google Calendar?

Yes — Google Calendar outbound sync is available (beta): new Cicini bookings appear on your Google calendar. Two-way busy-time blocking and Outlook/Apple sync are on the roadmap.

Can clients pay when they book?

On paid plans, clients can pay through Stripe at booking: the full price or a per-service deposit (fixed amount or percent). Card data stays in Stripe — not on Cicini servers.

How does Cicini compare to Calendly or Setmore?

Calendly focuses on meeting links; Cicini is built for service businesses with staff, services, and client records. For side-by-side reviews, see our Calendly alternative and Setmore alternative comparison pages.

How does Cicini protect client data?

Cicini uses encryption in transit and at rest and role-based access controls. Cicini does not claim HIPAA, PHIPA, or SOC 2 compliance. A signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is on the Enterprise roadmap — not included on Free, Starter, or Professional today. Contact us via /demo if you need a BAA.

Spend less time on admin. More time serving customers.

Set up your services, staff, and hours, then share your live booking link. Paid plans include a 30-day free trial.
