Guest Checkout: Book a Service Without Creating an Account

Guest Checkout lets bookers schedule a service on bookme.com without creating an account. They only need first name, last name, and email. Account creation is optional after booking, but required for online services using Bookme's built-in video chat.

Updated over a month ago

To make booking faster and easier, Bookme now supports Guest Checkout.

Guest Checkout allows bookers to schedule a service without creating an account upfront, reducing friction and increasing successful bookings for service providers.


What Is Guest Checkout?

Guest Checkout lets your clients book a service by providing only:

  • First name

  • Last name

  • Email address

That’s it.
No username, password, or email verification is required to complete the booking.

This update was introduced in response to feedback from both service providers and bookers who wanted a faster, simpler booking experience.


How Guest Checkout Works

For Most Services

  1. The booker selects a service and available time.

  2. The booker enters their first name, last name, and email address.

  3. The booking is confirmed.

After the booking is completed, the booker will be prompted to finish creating an account, but this step is optional.


When Account Creation Is Required

If the booked service is an online service that uses Bookme’s built-in video chat, the booker must complete account creation to access the video call.

This ensures:

  • Secure access to the video room

  • Proper identity verification

  • A smooth and reliable video session for both parties

In this case, the booker will be guided through the account setup process before joining the call.


Why We Added Guest Checkout

Guest Checkout helps:

  • Reduce booking drop-off

  • Increase conversion rates for service providers

  • Make booking feel fast and effortless

  • Improve overall booker engagement

It removes unnecessary steps while still preserving security and functionality where required.
