Artisan calendar: no more double bookings

One of the most repetitive scenes in the life of an artisan running workshops is this: a WhatsApp arrives, asks 'free Saturday afternoon?'. You open the calendar, check, reply 'yes', the customer says 'I'll let you know', then nothing. Or someone else messages the next morning and you book both into the same slot. Same root cause: your calendar is private. Customers don't see it, they have to ask.

What is a public booking calendar for artisans

A public booking calendar is a web page where the customer sees live workshop dates and times and books directly without asking. When they pay the deposit, the slot automatically closes for everyone else. No more availability chat.

4 concrete benefits

Zero conversations on availability; no double bookings; bookings at night (tourists in other timezones); sync with your personal agenda. On Handsome all four come built-in.

On Handsome you can also manually block specific dates (vacation, sickness, private events) with one click — customers can't book those dates without you having to decline anything by hand.
