Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started
Is there a contract or lock-in?
No. NimoBooking is billed month-to-month with no long-term contract. You can cancel at any time and keep access until the end of your paid period.
Can I run multiple locations from one account?
Yes. The Branches feature lets you manage multiple locations from a single NimoBooking account.
Plans & Pricing
What plans are available?
Three monthly plans, priced per site and excluding GST: Starter at $44.90/month (up to 3 staff), Growth at $64.90/month (up to 9 staff, most popular), and Enterprise at $99.90/month (unlimited staff per location).
What's included at each tier?
Starter covers 24/7 online booking, unlimited services, a custom landing page, real-time availability, and calendar sync. Growth adds Stripe payments and deposits, recurring bookings, CRM features, customisable message templates, and core AI tools. Enterprise adds coupons, loyalty cards, white labelling, and the full AI suite, including the booking assistant and analytics copilot.
Do plans include SMS and AI credits?
Yes. Starter includes 30 SMS and 10,000 AI credits per month, Growth includes 70 SMS and 200,000 AI credits, and Enterprise includes 100 SMS and 400,000 AI credits.
Can I change my plan later?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade at any time from your Billing page. Changes take effect from your next billing cycle — there's no mid-cycle proration.
How is my NimoBooking subscription billed?
Your subscription is billed monthly through PayPal. This is separate from any booking deposits you collect from your own customers, which are handled through Stripe.
Booking & Scheduling
How do customers book with my business?
Customers book online 24/7 through a multi-step wizard that guides them through selecting an asset, service, staff member, and time. They only ever see real-time, open availability, and a slot is automatically held while they complete the booking, so two people can't grab the same spot.
Do customers need an account to book?
No. Guest booking is supported, so customers can book without creating an account. However, we need a phone number or email address to send the booking confirmation to.
Can availability be matched to my business model?
Yes. NimoBooking supports skill-based, staff-based, and bay/room-based availability, so scheduling can match how your business actually operates.
Can I offer waitlists and recurring bookings?
Yes. Waitlists automatically offer freed-up slots to waiting customers (Enterprise plan), and recurring bookings let you set up a series that repeats on a schedule (all plans).
Can customers reschedule or cancel their own bookings?
Yes. Customers can reschedule or cancel online, within rules you control.
Can I block out time for breaks or personal time?
Yes. You can block out time on the calendar for breaks, meetings, or personal errands, and view all appointments across your team in a single calendar.
Deposits & Payments
Can I take deposits at booking?
Yes, on the Growth and Enterprise plans. Deposits are taken via Stripe at the time of booking to help protect your calendar against no-shows. The client can also pay in full for their booking. Nimo Booking does not charge a transaction fee because payments are made directly to your Stripe account.
Are payments secure?
Yes. Card payments are processed securely through Stripe, and receipts are automatically sent to customers.
What if I need to issue a refund?
Refunds are designed to be easy to issue directly from the platform when your client's plans change.
Can I run coupons (discount vouchers) or a loyalty programme?
Yes, on the Enterprise plan. You can issue discount coupons and run a stamp-card loyalty programme.
Integrations & Calendar Sync
Can I sync bookings to my personal calendar?
Yes. You can subscribe your Google, Outlook, or Apple Calendar to a one-way ICS booking feed, and new bookings will appear automatically. It's a read-only feed, not a two-way sync.
Does NimoBooking integrate with accounting software?
Yes. NimoBooking integrates with Xero, so deposits and payments taken through the platform can be logged directly into your Xero accounts.
Can I export my data?
Yes. Data export is available at any time.
Support
How do I get help if I'm stuck?
Browse the FAQ on the Support page, or send a message through the contact form. The team typically replies by email within one business day. You can also book an appointment for a team member to call or run an online meeting.
Can I book a demo before signing up?
Yes. A demo can be booked directly from the Pricing or Support pages and is a great way to see whether Nimo Booking works for your industry.
Is the platform reliable and secure?
Yes. NimoBooking is built to be secure and available 24/7 for both you and your customers. It is housed in an international data centre within your region.
AI Features
What AI features are available?
NimoBooking includes optional AI tools such as a booking assistant that helps customers find the right service and time, an FAQ chatbot that answers common customer questions from your site, booking risk scoring to flag likely no-shows, inbox triage to prioritise customer messages, and an analytics copilot for plain-English answers about your dashboard data.
Which AI features come with which plan?
The setup copilot is included on every plan. Growth adds service recommendations, the FAQ chatbot, inbox triage, and staffing suggestions. Enterprise adds the booking assistant, service matching, photo asset intake, template drafting, customer summaries, and no-show/churn scoring.
How does the setup copilot help during onboarding?
It suggests services, branding copy, and FAQs for your landing page based on a short description of your business.
