Sell time, not just products
Appointments, classes, multi-day stays and hourly rentals with live availability, staff and room scheduling, and no-show protection — in the same store and checkout as your products.
One platform for products and bookings
Most businesses that take bookings also sell something — vouchers, retail products, add-ons. Usually that means a booking tool and a separate shop, two checkouts and two sets of customer records.
On Dirora a booking is a product type. Services, staff, rooms and equipment live next to your catalogue, availability is calculated live, and a temporary hold at checkout stops two customers taking the same slot.
What goes wrong with bolt-on booking tools
Double bookings
Two customers pay for the same slot because availability isn't held while they check out.
No-shows cost money
An empty slot is lost revenue, and without a card on file there is nothing to charge.
Two systems to run
Bookings in one tool, products in another, customers in both — and reports that never add up.
Rentals don't fit time slots
Rooms and equipment are booked for a length of time the customer chooses, not a fixed appointment slot.
Bookings built into your store
Included on every plan.
Appointments, classes, stays and rentals
Set up fixed-slot appointments, sessions with a capacity, multi-day bookings, hotel-style stays and hourly rentals where the customer chooses how long.
Resource scheduling
Assign staff, rooms or equipment to services, each with its own availability, opening hours and schedule exceptions.
Live availability with checkout holds
Availability is calculated in real time and held temporarily while the customer pays, so a slot can never be sold twice.
No-show protection
Capture a card at booking and charge or waive the no-show fee automatically when a customer doesn't turn up.
Deposits and pay-on-completion
Place an authorisation hold on the card and capture later — for deposits, no-show fees or payment after the service.
Products and bookings in one checkout
Customers book a slot and buy products or gift cards in the same basket, with one customer account and one order history.

Compare plansQuestions about bookings
Can customers book and buy products in one order?▾
Yes. Bookings are products, so a booking, retail items and gift cards can share one basket and one checkout.
How do you stop double bookings?▾
Availability is calculated live and the slot is held temporarily while the customer pays. If the payment doesn't complete, the hold is released.
Can I charge for no-shows?▾
Yes. Capture a card at booking, then charge or waive the no-show fee automatically when the customer doesn't arrive.
Can I rent out rooms or equipment by the hour?▾
Yes. Rental services let the customer choose how long they need, priced by the hour, with the room or item booked exclusively for that time.
Do I need a paid plan?▾
No. Bookings are available on every plan, including the free Starter plan.
