⚠️ 6 Appointment Scheduling Gotchas to Watch For
- Booking/Event Type Limits: HIGH Free and basic plans often limit booking types or event categories. Need multiple appointment types? Prepare for tier upgrades
- Payment Processing Fees Stack: MEDIUM Platform fee + Stripe/PayPal fee can total 5-8% per transaction. Collecting payments through scheduler costs more than direct invoicing
- Calendar Sync Reliability: HIGH Google/Outlook sync may lag or fail. Double bookings happen when sync breaks—platform disclaims responsibility
- SMS/Email Reminder Costs: MEDIUM Automated reminders may have per-message fees or monthly limits. Heavy booking volume can add significant reminder costs
- Team Member/Staff Limits: MEDIUM Per-user pricing for staff scheduling. 5 employees at $15/user = $75/month for basic scheduling functionality
- White-Label Branding Restrictions: MEDIUM Removing platform branding from booking pages requires premium tiers. Your professional image may include their logo
