Widgets: Online Scheduling (vcita)

Widget Categories: Business

Online scheduling is one of the best ways to capture more leads and provide better service to your clients. Vcita online scheduling allows potential and existing clients to schedule a consultation, appointment, or service. Clients can schedule appoints instantly, on any device and with any staff member based on your up-to-date availability. Vcita will also save you time on client coordination, reminders, follow-ups, reschedules and even billing and payments—all in one cloud-based client management solution.

We partnered with vcita to offer online scheduling for your site. A separate vcita account is required to use this feature, but you can register inside the editor.

For support using the vcita product, or regarding your vcita account, please see their education center for more information, or to contact them directly.
