Plain answers to what owners ask.
How much does a booking system cost in Dubai?
We quote every booking system in Dubai individually, because the price depends on payments, deposits, and how many branches you run. A single-location booking site is the smallest build; a multi-branch system with a dashboard and WhatsApp automation is the largest. Message us on WhatsApp for a quote.
What's the best booking system for padel courts?
The best booking system for a padel court is a custom one you own — not an aggregator app. It should show court-by-court availability, take a deposit to hold the slot, send WhatsApp confirmations, and give the owner one dashboard across branches.
How do I set up a WhatsApp booking bot for my business?
A WhatsApp booking bot uses the official WhatsApp Business API to answer questions, check availability, and confirm bookings automatically. It sends confirmations and reminders to the customer and your manager. Setups are quoted per project, and we estimate 2–4 weeks to launch. Never use grey-market senders, which get numbers banned.
Is my POS ZATCA compliant?
Under Phase 2 of ZATCA e-invoicing (Fatoora), your POS must issue each invoice as structured XML, stamp it cryptographically, print a QR code, and connect to ZATCA: B2B invoices are cleared before they reach the buyer, and simplified (B2C) invoices are reported within 24 hours. A POS that only prints a paper receipt doesn't meet this, and penalties apply in Saudi Arabia.
Should I use an aggregator app or my own booking system?
Use your own booking system if you want to keep your margins and your customer relationship. Aggregator apps bring some discovery but take a commission on every booking, list you beside competitors, and own your customer data. Your own system costs more up front, but no commission comes off each booking.
What's the best payment gateway for Pakistan businesses?
For most Pakistani businesses, Safepay is the best gateway for card payments online, paired with JazzCash and Easypaisa for mobile wallets and Raast for instant bank transfers. The right mix depends on your customers — retail leans on wallets, while higher-value services take cards. We integrate all of them.
How do I reduce no-shows with deposits?
To reduce no-shows, take a non-refundable deposit at booking — commonly 20–40% of the price. The deposit gives the customer a reason to show up or reschedule instead of ghosting. Pair it with an automatic WhatsApp reminder before the slot, while there is still time to reschedule.
How do I manage bookings across multiple branches?
To manage bookings across branches, you need one system with per-branch availability, per-branch manager access, and a single owner dashboard showing utilisation everywhere. Confirmations should route to the right branch automatically.
How much does a POS system cost in Saudi Arabia?
We quote every POS in Saudi Arabia individually, because the price depends on branches, hardware, and integrations. Every build is made to Fatoora Phase 2 e-invoicing requirements, with offline-first sales and multi-branch stock, quoted in SAR. Message us on WhatsApp for a quote.
How do I integrate my POS with FBR in Pakistan?
To integrate your POS with FBR, the system must connect to the FBR POS system and report each sale in real time, printing an FBR invoice number and QR code on the receipt. We build FBR-integrated, offline-first POS that keeps selling if the connection drops, then reconciles.
How does WhatsApp Business API pricing work?
WhatsApp Business API pricing has two parts: a one-time setup and build (quoted per project with us) and Meta's own fees. Since 1 July 2025, Meta charges per delivered template message, at a rate set by the message category — marketing, utility, or authentication — and the recipient's country. Replies inside the 24-hour customer service window are free, and so are utility templates sent inside it.
