Note: Email Marketing, Online Scheduling, Client Intake Forms, and Contracts & eSignature are available on Standard and Premium subscriptions. The Basic subscription has access to limited Email Marketing and Online Scheduling features.

If you schedule appointments with clients, the simplest method is to let them schedule with you on your website, not over the phone or on a third-party booking platform.

With B12's Online Scheduling tool, you can sync your existing calendar, customize your availability, create different appointment types with different durations, and let clients schedule or cancel appointments on your website.

Get started with online scheduling.

Intake forms help you qualify leads and give you the information you need to hit the ground running when they become clients. Whether you use a general form for all prospects or send lengthy, service-specific questionnaires, you can set these up easily in your B12 account and store the submissions in your Contact Manager.

You can create an unlimited number of intake forms, which can be client-facing or business-facing depending on your business's needs.

Start using intake forms.

Make signing contracts more efficient for you and your clients by letting them sign with an eSignature. Upload a contract PDF, drag in the necessary fields, and send it to your client in a few clicks all from your B12 account. No more faxes or printers.

Start using Contracts and eSignature.

Send professional, branded invoices to your clients from your B12 account. They will receive the invoice in an email and can pay with a card or bank transfer. There are no extra costs aside from standard transaction fees, and it's a no-brainer switch if you're using a third party with outdated designs or monthly fees. As a bonus, keeping Online Payments in B12 means you have one less platform to manage.

Online Payments and Invoicing services our customers' versatile needs, such as recurring payments or self-checkout. If you're not sure how to incorporate Online Payments and Invoicing into your business, email hello@b12.io and we'll help you find the best way to use this convenient and cost-effective service.

Updates cost $75 per hour, and we'll always jump on a call with you to discuss the update in detail if we believe it will require more time.
