Do I need a developer to set up VoxelBooking?

If you already have PHP/MySQL hosting, the installer handles setup — upload the files, follow the wizard, and configure your booking page from the dashboard. If you don't have hosting, your web person can install it for you. The process takes minutes, not days.

What types of businesses can use VoxelBooking?

Any business that takes bookings. VoxelBooking supports four patterns: time slot appointments (salons, consultants), resource bookings (B&Bs, meeting rooms), capacity reservations (restaurants, escape rooms), and event registration (yoga classes, workshops). Each pattern adapts the booking page and admin to fit the business type.

Is VoxelBooking open source?

Yes. VoxelBooking is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. You can self-host it, modify it, and run it for commercial work.

Built for real bookings.

Branded booking page

Your business name, logo, cover image, and brand colors. Customers see your brand, not ours.

Built-in customer management with booking history. See who books, how often, and what they book.

Mobile-first booking page

The booking page is designed for phones first. Customers book from any device without pinching or zooming.

Why not SaaS?

SaaS fees add up.

Hosted booking tools charge every month and keep your workflow in a vendor account. VoxelBooking gives you the source code and lets you run the system on your server.
