Updated over a week ago

Schedulista is available in nearly all countries throughout the world where internet access is available. All features* are available in any of these countries except for the automated text (SMS) appointment reminders and the ability to take client payments online via Stripe.

* Services with third-party integrations (Mailchimp, Zoom, Google Calendar, etc.) are dependent upon their specific availability.

These two features are available in select countries with the potential to become available in other countries in the future. See below for current supported countries.

Text (SMS) appointment reminders

When clients book their appointment online, they are required to enter their email address and phone number. They will receive an appointment confirmation by email within minutes, and we send a reminder email prior to their appointment.

In available countries, clients can also opt to receive text (SMS) reminders for their appointment. If they do, we send up to two (2) reminders per appointment, depending on your settings and how soon before the appointment they book: one at the same time as the reminder email, and one on the same day of the appointment as a "last minute" reminder.

As of February 2024, Schedulista can send text (SMS) reminders to the following countries:

Payments via Stripe

We work with Stripe to offer the ability to take payments online. Once your Stripe account is connected, you can require clients to pay when they book, use credit card capture to secure appointments, or not ask for a card.

Stripe supports 135+ currencies from around the world, but Stripe's services are available to businesses in a limited number of countries. If your business is based in a supported country, you can accept payments from anywhere in the world.

Stripe also offers a platform called Atlas to provide services to businesses in non-supported countries.

Note: Your relationship with Stripe is independent of Schedulista. Stripe handles all payment services. Any questions regarding payments must be addressed by Stripe. Schedulista can assist with the integration of Stripe with your online scheduler.
