Use cases

Wherever bookings happen, Maru Booking fits.

Add bookings for time and experiences to the Shopify store where you already sell products. The three examples below are representative—Maru Booking also works across many other booking businesses.

Order events & pop-ups

Turn fittings and visits into bookable time slots, avoid crowding, and connect the experience to purchases in the same store.

Hair & beauty salons

Show services, staff, and availability clearly. Every booking leaves customer data behind.

More use cases

And it goes far beyond these three.

If your service uses time slots, capacity, or staff assignments, Maru Booking can handle the booking flow. Create bookable products for events, lessons, spaces, equipment rentals, and more.

Inside the app

From install to the first booking, nothing to puzzle over.

Maru Booking setup screen showing seven use-case cards and a four-step guide

Four steps, starting from what you book

Pick your use case — pre-order events, fitting appointments, pop-up visits, workshops, salon services, free consultations — and menu names and durations are pre-filled. Set the days and hours you accept, and the booking products are created for you.

Choose staff and time on the product page, then straight to cart

Booking happens inside the Shopify product page — no hand-off to another site. Pick a person and an open slot, and the appointment time travels into the cart, with checkout still handled by Shopify.

The same booking, on both sides of the counter

The admin tracks visited, cancelled, and no-show states in one list, filterable by period and exportable to CSV. Customers see their own bookings and can cancel themselves within the cancellation window.

Visit history becomes the customer record

Visit count, lifetime spend, first and last visit, and no-show count build up per customer. Pull the ones who have not been in for a while, sync them to a Shopify customer tag, and use that tag as an email segment.

A chart comparing cost as bookings grow: external booking portals rise steeply while Maru Booking stays flat

More bookings, same monthly price

There is no per-booking fee — no usage-metered billing path exists in the implementation at all. The further volume grows, the wider the gap with commission-based booking portals.

How it works

Get started in three simple steps.

No code required. Create booking products and calendars directly from Shopify admin.

  1. 1STEP

    Add the app

    Install from the Shopify App Store. Your store and booking data connect automatically.

  2. 2STEP

    Set availability

    Add services, dates, capacity, and staff. Set booking cutoffs and cancellation deadlines to match your operation.

  3. 3STEP

    Start taking bookings

    Add the calendar to a product page and go live. Manage bookings and customer details in Shopify. Growth and Pro also connect with Google Calendar and ICS.

Event Ops

Fragmented Flow

Is your booking flow scattered?

Order events, pop-ups, and fitting events often split announcements, bookings, payment, day-of operations, and post-event purchases across too many tools.

Announcements on Instagram
Bookings in DMs
Customer details in Google Forms
Payment on the day
Receipts issued manually
Cancellations handled one by one
No product purchase path after booking

With Maru Booking, booking intake, customer management, and pre-event guidance can all live in Shopify.

Flow Design

Event Flow Design

Order events, pop-ups, and fitting appointments, all in Shopify

Maru Booking works not only for salon bookings, but also for apparel order events, pop-up stores, fitting appointments, exhibition visits, and workshops. From Instagram announcements to Shopify product pages, booking forms, pre-event guidance, and day-of operations, we design the full path from booking to purchase.

Unify the booking flow

Organize booking flows that were split across Instagram, DMs, Google Forms, and on-site payments into Shopify.

Reduce no-shows with reminders

An automatic day-before reminder helps cut last-minute cancellations for pop-ups and fitting events.

Design the path after booking

Do not stop at booking completion. Connect product pages, email guidance, and repeat purchases after the event.

We set up not only the app, but also the path to purchase

Repeat Customers

Pro

Something stays behind after the appointment ends.

Most booking apps consider the job done once the slot is filled. On Pro, Maru Booking keeps what builds up afterwards — who came, how often, how much they spent, and when they are due back — per customer, and surfaces the ones who have not been in for a while.

Customer list

Visit count, lifetime spend, first and last visit, next appointment, and cancellation counts in one table. Filter and sort by last visit, visit count, or whether they have ever no-showed.

Customer record

Each customer’s visit history is kept down to the menu, quantity, and whether the appointment was rescheduled. Staff-shared notes travel with the record, so a change of staff does not lose what happened last time.

Win-back follow-up

Set how many days without a visit counts as dormant, and matching customers appear on the admin home screen. Sync them to a Shopify customer tag and use that tag directly as an email segment.

The dormant tag is removed automatically as soon as the customer returns or books again, and no other tags are touched.
