Shopify booking system

• keyboard_arrow_downHow is Anolla different from typical Shopify booking software?
  Most Shopify booking plugins only provide basic time reservations without business logic. Anolla is a complete all-in-one revenue-driving Shopify booking and workflow platform for service-based online stores, rental shops, studios, salons, therapy practices, and consulting centers. The platform unifies Shopify bookings, customer management (CRM), sales pipeline, automated notifications, and smart resource management. Unlike static Shopify calendar tools, Anolla uses AI to optimize booking rules, schedules, and customer communication in real time. Anolla supports dynamic pricing for services, rental packages, classes, and multi-day bookings. Under a single Shopify store you can run hourly sessions, day-based packages, and combined bookings in parallel, making Anolla an ideal Shopify booking software for growth-oriented service-based e-commerce businesses.
• keyboard_arrow_downDoes Anolla support hourly and multi-day bookings in a Shopify store at the same time?
  Yes, this is one of Anolla’s main competitive advantages in the Shopify booking software market. Unlike many Shopify booking apps, Anolla does not force you to choose only an hourly calendar or only day-based rentals. The platform lets you manage in the same Shopify store hourly services (e.g. therapy sessions, beauty services, personal training), day-based rental packages (e.g. rental halls, studios, workshops, machines) and variable-duration bookings (e.g. project-based consulting). All bookings are consolidated into a single central Shopify booking calendar where you can manage rooms, specialists, equipment and service packages from one clear view. Anolla is ideal for hybrid Shopify business models where the same online store offers services, rental options and digital packages side by side.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does the Anolla AI assistant reduce administrative workload and human errors in Shopify bookings?
  Anolla’s automated AI customer support runs inside Shopify booking software 24/7, answering customers’ repetitive questions directly in the e-store booking flow. The AI assistant automatically resolves up to 79.3%¹ of standard booking inquiries—for example schedule changes, cancellations, availability, booking rules, coupons, and booking status. In addition, the assistant can resolve up to 52.4%¹ of first-line technical support questions related to using the Shopify booking solution, without involvement from administrative staff. Automated customer communication, reminders, confirmations, and follow-up notifications reduce manual administration by up to 39.3%¹, preventing double bookings, missed appointments, and incorrect data. The result is a more stable Shopify booking process, a lower workload, and a significantly reduced risk of human error for both the service provider and customer support.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla’s dynamic pricing module help Shopify service stores optimize their prices?
  The Anolla dynamic pricing module automates pricing strategies for Shopify-based service and rental stores, covering bookings, package services, and seasonal promotions. Service providers can configure detailed pricing rules by time of day, date, day of week, season, demand level, booking duration, room or specialist type, equipment category, and customer segment. All price changes are applied automatically in the Shopify booking flow according to the configured business rules, without manual price list edits. The system helps sell hours and rental days at lower prices during periods of weaker demand, encouraging calendar utilization, and enables you to maximize revenue during peak hours and on popular dates. The result is higher occupancy, better-structured Shopify booking pricing, and significantly improved overall profitability.
• keyboard_arrow_downIs Anolla suitable for both single Shopify service stores and chains with multiple locations?
  Yes, Anolla is designed to scale for both standalone Shopify stores offering therapy, beauty, fitness, rental, or consulting services, and for multi-location franchise chains and studio networks. A solo specialist or small service-based Shopify store can start with a powerful free plan that includes all the core features for managing bookings, clients, and services. Businesses with multiple branches or locations across cities can use centralized management where all studios, salons, rental points, rooms, and specialists are connected to a single Anolla account and Shopify store. The platform lets you add unlimited locations, calendars, service lines, and users, offering flexible role- and location-based access control (RBAC) so that administrators, managers, consultants, trainers, and technicians see only the bookings within their area of responsibility.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhich tools and platforms does the Anolla Shopify booking solution integrate with?
  Anolla is built with an API-first architecture that enables deep integration with the Shopify platform and other critical tools. For payment processing there is a direct integration with Stripe, allowing you to take advance payments for Shopify bookings, require deposits or implement instalment solutions. For sales and marketing analytics Anolla supports integrations with Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel, which make it possible to track booking funnel conversions, campaign ROI and repeat customer behaviour. Raw data can be exported to BI/ML tools to build more accurate demand models and revenue forecasts. In addition, the platform offers a powerful public API and integrations with other systems such as CRMs, email automation tools, accounting software and custom solutions to create a fully connected Shopify booking ecosystem.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhat is included in Anolla’s free plan for Shopify stores and what do the paid features add?
  Anolla’s free plan includes all the initial tools needed to launch a working Shopify booking solution – online booking, a basic calendar view, service and room setup, customer data management and basic notifications. This level is ideal for solo providers, new therapy practices, small salons, coaches, freelance consultants and niche rental shops who want to test Shopify-based booking with no fixed cost. Paid features add unlimited automation, advanced workflows, queue and waitlist management, more complex hybrid services, deep integrations with other business software, revenue-optimization tools, customer loyalty and rewards modules, gift and package solutions, and more detailed booking and sales reporting that give a growing Shopify service or rental store a clear competitive edge.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla’s usage-based pricing reduce business risk for Shopify service stores?
  Anolla’s usage-based pricing model is specifically designed to reduce business risks for service- and rental-based Shopify stores. Service providers don’t have to pay high fixed monthly fees during periods when booking numbers are lower, for example with seasonal services, tourism services, event services or project-based consulting. Costs scale in proportion to actual booking volume, number of transactions or functionality used, keeping fixed costs under control. This model is ideal for seasonal businesses, event services, storage rentals, outdoor gear and vehicle rentals, sports studios, holiday accommodations and all Shopify stores whose demand fluctuates weekly or monthly. This way, the cost of Shopify booking software moves in step with your real business volume.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow quickly can I start using Anolla’s Shopify booking software?
  Deploying Anolla as a Shopify booking solution usually takes just a few minutes. Every step – from adding services and rooms to configuring booking rules, schedules, payments and notifications – is guided by a 24/7 context-aware AI assistant directly within the platform. Anolla’s ease of use rating on Capterra is 5/5¹, reflecting a simple and logical setup flow even for less technical users. Statistics show that nine out of ten team members learn the system’s core functionality – creating and modifying bookings, browsing the calendar and managing client information – in under 30 minutes¹, so a Shopify store can start accepting online bookings practically on the same day.
