I'm on a job when they call
Every job is a reason not to pick up. Voicemail does not book anything, and half of the people who leave a message have found somebody else by the evening.

How does online booking work for a handyman?
A handyman's online booking page lists the jobs you do with a duration and a price and shows only the slots that are free. The customer picks a job and a time, gets a confirmation email and a reminder the day before, and can reschedule from the link. With TapTime the page opens in the phone's browser, no app, and the link works from Google, WhatsApp or your website.
A call you cannot take is a job someone else gets.
You are on a ladder, under a sink or in a loft, and the phone is in your pocket on silent. By the time you call back, the customer has phoned the next name on Google.
Every call is the same three questions
How much, how long, when can you come. You answer them from the van twenty times a week and still write the appointment on the back of a receipt.
My calendar is a notebook and my memory
Tuesday 08:00 is on a page you cannot find. Two customers think they have Thursday morning. The day off you promised your family gets a job on it.
Your services, your hours, and a link that does the booking.
Set it up once. The page shows only the slots you can actually do, and every booking arrives in your inbox and your calendar.
-
One link, wherever customers already find you
Put it on your Google Business profile, your website, your Instagram bio and in your WhatsApp replies. The page opens in the browser on any phone, no app.
-
Services with a duration and a price
Leaking tap, 45 minutes. Shelf mounting, 60 minutes. Furniture assembly, 90. The customer sees the price and books the right amount of your time.
-
Free slots only, inside your hours
Set your weekly hours and mark days off. The page offers what is really free; a booked slot disappears for everyone else.
-
A buffer after every job for the drive
Give each service a fixed buffer, twenty or thirty minutes, so the next booking cannot start before you can get there.
-
Confirmation now, reminder the day before
The customer gets a confirmation email the moment they book and a reminder 24 hours before. You get the booking in your list without touching the phone.
-
Cancel or reschedule from the email
Plans change. The customer moves the job from the link in their email, the old slot goes back on the page, and nobody plays phone tag.
Set up between two jobs, take bookings tonight.
No onboarding call, no setup fee, nothing to install. Most one-person businesses have the page live in about twenty minutes.

Phone and notebook versus a booking page, honestly.
Phone calls, WhatsApp and a notebook
- A customer wants a tap fixed. They call; you are under a sink; voicemail
- Knowing when you are free. Your memory and a notebook in the van
- A booking at 22:00. Nobody answers
- Reminding the customer. A text the night before, if you remember
- A change of plan. Three missed calls each way
- What it costs. The jobs you never heard about
TapTime online booking
- A customer wants a tap fixed. They see the job, the price and a free slot, and book
- Knowing when you are free. One calendar with your hours and days off
- A booking at 22:00. Booked and confirmed by email
- Reminding the customer. Reminder email 24 hours before, automatically
- A change of plan. Reschedule from the link; the slot goes back online
- What it costs. From $39 a month
Tuesday, 09:40, in the Bright Fix Repairs van.
One working day when the phone stays in the pocket and the calendar fills anyway.
-
Under a kitchen sink, phone buzzing in your pocket. You leave it there.
-
The caller gives up, opens your Google profile instead, and books Leaking tap, 45 minutes, for Thursday at 08:00. The confirmation email is in her inbox before you tighten the last fitting.
-
Between jobs you check the calendar: Thursday morning is set, with a thirty-minute buffer after it for the drive. A customer who phoned goes into the same list, Friday at 10:00.
-
Someone books a shelf-mounting job for next week from their sofa. You are on yours.
The job books while you are under the sink, and your phone shows one short message
Chat alerts, ad conversions and no-code automations come with the Appointments module at no extra cost. No add-on, no higher tier, no per-event fee.
How conversions, webhooks and the API work
Know which ad paid for Thursday's tap job
Every confirmed online booking is sent from the server to Google Ads, Meta and GA4 as one conversion worth the job's price. Jobs you take by phone never count, so the ad report stays honest.
One Telegram message instead of a missed call
A bot posts each new job to your Telegram within seconds: who, when, how much and a link to the calendar. Read it when you climb out from under the sink, not with a spanner in your hand.
Every job in your spreadsheet, no code
Zapier or Make add each booked job to a Google Sheet, and when you mark it completed, send a draft invoice to your accounting tool. Set it up once with Send test, no code.
Ready for a website or an office later
Put the booking widget on your own website and it credits bookings to your campaigns too. When you hire an office manager or a developer, signed webhooks and the REST API are already there.
Priced by people, not by jobs.
From $39 a month. The entry plan covers up to 3 specialists and 10 services, which for a one-person business is you and room to hire. Unlimited bookings, confirmation and reminder emails, the booking link and the calendar are all included. Fourteen days free, no card.
Working in two towns? Each location gets its own booking page and its own subscription, managed from the same dashboard. Add a loyalty card or another module later; they are switched on separately.

Questions handymen ask before they put the link on Google.
Do customers need an app?
No. The booking page opens in the phone's browser from the link, on any iPhone or Android. Customers pick a job and a slot and confirm with their name and email; nothing to download.
Can customers book while I am on a job?
That is the point. The page shows your free slots around the clock, takes the booking and sends the confirmation email. You see it in the calendar the next time you look at your phone.
What if I want to check a job before it is confirmed?
Switch on manual approval. The booking then waits in your list until you confirm it, and the customer gets the confirmation email only when you do. Useful for bigger jobs or new addresses.
How do I add jobs that come in by phone?
Enter them yourself in the calendar. Bookings from the page and the ones you type in sit in one list, so the slot is blocked for everyone and your day is in one place.
Can I block travel time between jobs?
Yes, with a buffer. Each service has a fixed number of minutes after it that nobody can book into, twenty or thirty for a typical drive. TapTime does not calculate routes or distances; you set the buffer once and it applies to every booking of that service.
What does it cost, and is there a contract?
From $39 a month for up to 3 specialists and 10 services, paid monthly by card. No contract, no setup fee. The first 14 days are free and you do not enter a card to start.
How long does it take to set up?
About twenty minutes for a one-person business: create the account, add your services with minutes and prices, set your hours, copy the link. You can adjust prices and hours any time afterwards.
What happens if I stop paying?
After a short grace period the booking page is paused and shows a brief “temporarily unavailable” note. Nothing is deleted: your services, hours and bookings are all there when you switch it back on.
Can I get a Telegram message when a customer books a job while I am working?
Yes. Connect a Telegram bot under Integrations and TapTime messages you within seconds for each new booking, with the customer, the time and the price of the job. Add cancellations too, so a freed slot is never a surprise.

Fourteen days free, no card, cancel any time. The next customer who cannot reach you can still book you.
