Getting Started

PickTime is a free scheduling platform designed for service-based businesses - salons, consultants, therapists, photographers, and more. Business owners create a booking page, set their availability, and share a link. Clients tap the link, enter their email, receive a magic link, and book in seconds. No app to install, no password to remember.

There are two types of users:

Owners — create businesses, add appointments, manage bookings, accept payments
Clients — browse appointments, book sessions, pay with TON cryptocurrency or appointment credits

For Owners

How do I create a business?

Owner

Go to picktimeapp.com
Click "Create your business"
Enter your email — we'll send a sign-in link
Click the link in your email
Enter your business name and category
You're ready to go!

How do I add appointments?

Owner

Open your business admin panel
Go to +Appointment or Add Appointment
Choose the appointment type: Group or Private 1:1
Set the date, time, and duration
Optionally set a title, max capacity, and price
Tap "Create appointment"

Google Calendar sync keeps your appointments visible alongside your personal commitments. New bookings appear automatically, and cancelled bookings are removed - so your calendar is always accurate.

Default settings: Save time by configuring your default appointment duration and capacity in Settings. New time slots will pre-fill with these values.

How do I edit, copy, or cancel an appointment?

Owner

From the Appointments or Schedule view:

Edit — change the title, time, duration, capacity, or price
Copy — duplicate an appointment to another date (great for recurring schedules)
Cancel — cancel an appointment. All booked clients will be notified automatically
Who comes? — see who's booked for a specific appointment

Cancelling removes the time slot from your schedule and notifies every client who booked. Credits paid for that appointment are returned automatically.

How do I invite clients?

Owner

There are three ways to invite clients:

1. Generate an invite link

Go to Invites
Click "Generate invite link"
Copy the link and share it with anyone

2. Send an email invite

Go to Invites
Enter the client's email address
Click "Send invite"
The client receives an email and joins with one click — no sign-in needed!

3. Bulk email invite

Go to Invites
Enter multiple email addresses
Click "Send all"

The easiest way to get clients on board is to drop your booking link into your email signature, website bio, or post it on social media. For existing clients, send a quick email invite and they're set up with one click.

How do I create appointment packages?

Owner

Appointment packages let clients buy credits in advance:

Go to Appointment Packages
Tap "Create package"
Choose the type:
- Fixed appointments — e.g., "10 Appointment Pack" (client gets 10 credits)
- Unlimited — unlimited appointments for a period of time
Set the name, price, and expiration (default: 30 days)
Tap "Save package"

You can also manually assign credits to a client from the Clients list — useful for trial sessions or gifts.

How do payments work?

Owner

PickTime uses TON cryptocurrency for payments:

Connect your TON wallet (see below)
Set a price on your appointments or packages
Clients pay directly via their TON wallet
PickTime takes a small commission (shown in your settings)
The platform admin settles your earnings to your wallet

Track everything in the Revenue section: total revenue, commission breakdown, pending settlements, and transaction history.

Credit-based bookings don't generate revenue at the time of booking - the payment was already processed when the client purchased the service package.

How do I connect my wallet?

Owner

Go to Settings (or Payments and Settings)
In the wallet section, tap "Connect wallet"
Choose your wallet app (Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet, etc.)
Approve the connection

Once connected, you can set prices on appointments, accept payments, and receive settlement payouts.

How do I connect Google Calendar?

Owner

Go to your admin dashboard
Find the Calendar status card
Tap "Connect"
Sign in with your Google account and allow access
Your appointments will now sync automatically!

When connected:

New appointments you create appear in Google Calendar
Events from Google Calendar matching your business name are imported as appointments
Deleted calendar events will cancel the corresponding appointment (clients are notified)

To disconnect, tap "Disconnect" next to the calendar status.

How do I send a broadcast message?

Owner

Go to Broadcast
Select your audience: All clients or a specific appointment
Type your message
Tap "Send"

Messages are delivered via email to your clients.

Broadcasts are useful for announcing new services, holiday hours, or special promotions. Each client gets an individual email - clean, professional, and direct.

What can I configure in Settings?

Owner

Business name — displayed to your clients
Business avatar — upload a logo or photo
Default appointment duration — saves time when creating appointments
Default max capacity — pre-fills capacity for new appointments
Cancellation window — how many minutes before an appointment clients can cancel (leave empty for anytime)
About text — description shown on your business's Contact page
Wallet — connect/disconnect your TON wallet
Google Calendar — connect/disconnect calendar sync

For Clients

How do I join a business?

Client

You'll receive an email from your owner
Click the "Join" button in the email
You're in! No sign-in needed.

Via invite link:

Open the link your owner shared

How do I book an appointment?

Client

Open the Appointments tab
Browse the schedule — swipe or tap dates to navigate
Find an appointment you want to attend
Tap "Book this appointment" (for free appointments) or "Book" with the price (for paid appointments)

For paid appointments, you'll need to connect a TON wallet first.

If you have package credits, they'll be used automatically — no need to pay again!

How do I cancel a booking?

Client

Go to My Bookings
Find the booking you want to cancel
Tap "Cancel"
Confirm the cancellation

Your owner may set a cancellation deadline (e.g., 24 hours before the appointment). If the deadline has passed, you won't be able to cancel.

How do I pay for appointments?

Client

When you tap "Book" on a paid appointment, you'll be prompted to connect your wallet
Choose your wallet app (Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet, etc.)
Approve the connection
Confirm the payment amount
Your booking is confirmed instantly!

If you have appointment credits from a package, they'll be used instead of a wallet payment.

How do I buy an appointment package?

Client

Packages give you pre-paid credits to book appointments:

Go to the Packages tab (web) or check the appointment detail
Browse available packages
Tap "Buy" on the package you want
Connect your wallet and confirm payment
Your credits are available immediately!

When you book an appointment, credits are deducted automatically. You can see your remaining credits in My Bookings.
