What it does
Most booking systems come with a fixed set of statuses, and those rarely match how every business actually handles appointments. A salon, a clinic and a consulting firm all move clients through different steps. Bookly Custom Statuses (Add-on) fills that gap by letting you add as many statuses as you need, so a booking can sit at Awaiting Payment, In Progress or Follow-up Scheduled instead of being forced into a generic label.
The add-on works inside Bookly Pro, so you manage statuses in the same place you already handle appointments. You can add, edit or delete statuses without technical skills, give each one its own name and color, and then filter bookings by status. The colors make the booking calendar easier to read at a glance, and clear statuses help you keep clients informed about where their appointment stands.
Best for
- Service businesses already running Bookly Pro for appointments
- Salons, clinics and studios with multi-step booking workflows
- Teams that track payments or follow-ups per appointment
Features
Unlimited custom statuses
Create as many booking statuses as your process needs, so each stage of an appointment gets a label that matches how your business actually works.
Custom names and colors
Give every status a personalized name and its own color, which makes the booking calendar easier to scan and keeps appointments visually organized.
Simple status management
Add, edit or delete statuses through a straightforward interface that does not require any coding or technical background to use.
Filter bookings by status
Sort and filter bookings using your custom statuses to get a clearer view of where appointments stand and how your operations are running.
Track bookings at each stage
Follow appointments as they move through your workflow, which helps you see what needs attention first and respond to clients in the right order.
Clearer client communication
Well-defined statuses make it easier to tell clients exactly where their appointment stands, cutting down on confusion about bookings.
Works within Bookly Pro
The add-on runs inside the existing Bookly Pro setup, so statuses are managed alongside the appointments and calendar you already use.
