Kalima Booking guide

From setup to your next booking.

A short guide to what the app does, how to set up your shop, and what to do when a booking arrives.

01 / The basics

How Kalima Booking works

Start with a catalogue

Each shop has items clients can book: rental gear, lessons, tours, or other services. Give each item a price and define how many units or places are available.

Choose how to charge

Use a simple price, or create a reusable pricing profile with named choices or multi-day packages. You can request payment by bank transfer or, when enabled, collect it online.

Share your client page

Clients choose an item and dates on your shop’s booking page. According to your settings, the app checks availability, sends booking emails, and asks for verification, approval, or payment.

02 / Get ready

Set up your shop

  1. Create the shop

    In Shops, add its name, time zone, contact details, and the website clients can return to.

  2. Add your business details

    In Settings → Terms and conditions, enter your legal details and review the terms shown to clients. Set your opening hours and booking rules in Settings.

Shop settingsShow the Shops view with a shop’s contact and website fields, plus the View client page link.

  1. Set payment rules

    Choose whether to request bank transfers, use online payments when available, and set any deposit or balance rules.

  2. Create prices and items

    If you need packages, make a custom pricing profile first. Then add your gear or service in Catalogue, set its capacity, and assign the appropriate price or profile.

  1. Check the client page

    Open the shop’s client page and try the booking flow before sharing its link.

03 / Your website

Add booking to your website

Add a Book now button to your own website. When a client selects it, Kalima Booking opens your shop’s booking and checkout flow in a secure window without taking them away from your site.

  1. Allow your website

    Go to Shops, open your shop, and find Integrations. Under Allowed website origins, add your site’s full HTTPS origin, for example https://www.example.com. Add each version of your site that clients use, then save.

  2. Copy your booking button

    Once the origin is saved, the Embed booking button code appears in Integrations. Copy it from there. The code is already linked to the right shop, so do not change its shop value.

  3. Paste it where the button belongs

    In your website editor, add an HTML or custom-code block where you want the booking button to appear, then paste the copied code and publish your page.

  4. Test the complete checkout

    Open the published page, select Book now, and make a test booking. The booking window should open over your site and use the payment and booking rules you configured in Kalima Booking.

The copied code looks like this<script async src="https://app.kalimabooking.com/static/booking-widget.js"
  data-kalima-shop="your-shop" data-kalima-label="Book now"></script>

04 / Day to day

Manage bookings

A booking’s path depends on your rules. The booking card shows its current status and what needs attention next.

  1. Request received

    A client books online, or your team creates a manual booking. Find it in Bookings or on the Calendar.

  2. Checks and approval

    If enabled, the client verifies their email. Bookings that require your approval wait for your decision.

  3. Payment

    For online payments, follow the payment status in the booking card. For a bank transfer, check your bank account and record the payment when it arrives.

  4. Confirmed and finished

    Use the booking card to review details, add internal notes, and manage its status. Complete the booking after the rental or service, or cancel it if it will not go ahead.
