Questions,answered.
Everything you need to know about trials, billing, features and keeping your data safe — without the runaround.
Topic 01
Memberships, trials & billing
Plans, payments and what it costs to get going.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — every plan starts with a 30-day free trial that unlocks the full feature set. You do not need a credit card to start, so you can build out your booking page and invite your team before committing.
What happens when my trial ends?
Nothing breaks and nothing is charged automatically if you have not added a payment method. We will prompt you to choose a plan to keep taking bookings; your data and setup stay exactly as you left them.
Can I cancel anytime?
Absolutely. Plans are month-to-month with no lock-in contracts — cancel from your account settings in a couple of clicks and you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for.
Do you offer refunds?
Plans are month-to-month with no lock-in, so you can cancel any time to stop future charges and keep access through the period you have already paid for. Fees already paid are not refundable, which is exactly why the trial is free — most teams know whether we are a fit well before they pay a cent. If something goes wrong on our end, contact support and we will make it right.
Can I change plans later?
Yes — upgrade or downgrade whenever your needs change. Upgrades take effect immediately and are prorated, and downgrades apply at your next renewal so you never lose paid time.
Do you charge per location?
Single-location businesses pay one flat plan price. If you run multiple venues, our higher tiers include multi-location management with simple per-location pricing — no surprise add-ons.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards for your subscription. Customer-facing card payments, including deposits and balances, are processed on the business’s connected merchant account through our integrated, PCI-compliant payment provider.
Are there setup or onboarding fees?
No. There are no setup, onboarding or hidden activation fees — the plan price is the price. Onboarding help and guides are included for every account.
Topic 02
Features explained
What the platform actually does, in plain language.
What is online booking?
Online booking gives your customers a self-service page where they pick a service, time and team member and confirm in seconds — 24/7, on any device. Availability stays in sync across your calendar so you never get double-booked.
How do deposits & no-show protection work?
You can require a deposit or card-on-file at the time of booking, with your own cancellation window and fee rules. If a customer no-shows or cancels late, the policy is enforced automatically so you are not left out of pocket.
What is dispatch and how are drivers assigned?
Dispatch is our tool for ride and delivery businesses that routes incoming jobs to drivers. Jobs can be auto-assigned by proximity and availability or sent out manually, with live status from accepted through to completed.
How do payments & payouts work?
Take card payments and deposits at booking or in person. The charge, processing fees, refunds, balance and payout schedule remain in your connected merchant account. Opraly links each transaction to its booking and receives only the disclosed application fee.
What is the client CRM?
The CRM is the customer record behind every booking: contact details, full visit history, notes, preferences and lifetime spend. It powers reminders, repeat-booking prompts and personalised service without spreadsheets.
Can customers leave reviews?
Yes. After a completed booking you can automatically invite customers to leave a review, then showcase the best feedback on your booking page to build trust with new visitors.
Is my booking page branded?
Yes. Your booking and ordering pages run under your own name and colours, so customers book with your business rather than a generic marketplace. Everything is mobile-friendly in the browser — there is no app for customers to download.
Can I run multiple locations?
Yes — manage several locations from one account, each with its own services, staff, hours and calendar, while you keep a single roll-up view of performance across the whole business.
How do reminders work?
Automated email and push reminders go out before each appointment, with confirmations and follow-ups around the booking. Business SMS reminders and two-way messaging are coming soon as an optional add-on.
Topic 03
Getting started
Going live and bringing your business across.
How long does setup take?
Add your services and hours, connect payments, test the booking flow and then share your link. Setup time depends on the size of your catalog, team and migration.
Do you help with onboarding?
Yes. Every account gets guided setup, step-by-step help articles and responsive support, and our higher tiers include hands-on onboarding to get you configured and live faster.
Can I import existing clients & bookings?
You can import your client list and upcoming bookings so nothing is lost in the move. If your current data is in a spreadsheet or another tool, support can help you map and bring it in cleanly.
How do my customers book?
Share your booking link anywhere — your website, social profiles, messages or a QR code in-store. Customers tap through to your branded page, choose a slot and confirm, with no app download required.
Do I need my own website?
No. Your hosted booking page works as a standalone site you can send customers straight to. If you already have a website, you can embed booking or link to it from a button.
Topic 04
Security & your data
How we protect your business and your customers.
Who owns my data?
You do. Your business and customer data is always yours — we process it to run the service on your behalf and never sell it. You can export or delete it whenever you choose.
How do you handle GDPR / CCPA data rights?
Opraly ships GDPR and CCPA data-rights tooling — data-subject access and deletion requests, clear consent for marketing messages, and a Data Processing Agreement on request — so you can meet your obligations to your customers.
Is payment data secure (PCI)?
Card payments are handled by our PCI-DSS-compliant payment provider, so sensitive card numbers are tokenised and never stored on our servers. Traffic is encrypted in transit end to end.
Can I export my data?
At any time. Export your clients, bookings and reports to standard file formats from your dashboard — there is no lock-in, and your records leave with you if you ever do.
