Online booking with a client portal
Online booking, plus a portal every client can sign into
Clients book themselves, then get their own private space to check appointments, view invoices, pay by card and see everything they have paid you — without messaging you first.
Try it
See exactly what your clients see
This is a live demo of a LifeCue booking page. Pick a service and a time to walk through the flow — no account, nothing is really booked and no card is charged.
- Only your open times are offered, so double bookings can't happen.
- A deposit can be required before the slot is held, paid to your own account.
- Confirmation and day-before reminder emails go out automatically.

What your clients see in their portal
Their upcoming appointments
Date, time, service and staff member, always current — so nobody emails you to ask when they are booked.
Invoices and quotes
Every document you sent them, with your business details, totals and status.
Pay by card from the portal
Outstanding invoices carry a pay button that charges to your own Square or Stripe account.
Full payment history
What they have paid, when, and anything still outstanding — the same numbers you see on your cash-flow page.
Private sign-in, no password
Clients sign in with their email and a one-time link, or open the private link from an invoice. Each client sees only their own records.
Automatic emails
Booking confirmations, day-before reminders, past-due nudges and paid receipts go out without you sending them.
How it works
- 1Add your services, prices, deposits and opening hours.
- 2Share your booking link — or your self-serve sign-up link, which creates the client record for you.
- 3The client books, pays the deposit and lands in their own portal.
- 4You invoice the balance; they pay it from the portal and the receipt files itself.

Common questions
Do clients need to create an account?
No. They can open the private link from any invoice or email, or sign in at the client sign-in page with their email address and a one-time link.
Can a client see anyone else's information?
No. A portal link and sign-in are tied to one client record, and each client only ever sees their own bookings, invoices and payments.
Can they pay an invoice from the portal?
Yes, by card, through your own connected Square or Stripe account. The payment updates their history and your cash-flow page immediately.
Is the client portal included?
Yes, it is part of LifeCue Business at $12.99 a month, and of LifeCue Complete at $18.99 a month.
