Calendly, an application for scheduling meetings, pioneered a trend of sharing calendars and allowing clients to book appointments at times of their choosing.

However, since 2013, considerable time has passed, and numerous alternatives have emerged in both the Polish and international markets, offering specific functionalities for various industries.

One such alternative is Zencal, an application very similar to Calendly, but focusing on selling meetings and planning them even for teams.

Free Meetings

If you need to share available time slots with your clients to schedule, for example, a sales meeting or a so-called discovery call, Zencal Basic is the ideal choice for you, offering this option.

After creating a meeting topic, you receive a calendar link where the client can choose a suitable time and schedule a meeting with you. Unlike Calendly, Zencal allows you to create meeting topics without limitations.

Paid Meetings

For more demanding users, Zencal also integrates with payment gateways such as:

• Stripe
• tPay
• PayU
• Przelewy24
• PayPal

This is a simple way to equip your calendar with a payment module through which your clients can purchase a service, for which you receive payment even before providing it.

This protects you from losing time and money due to indecisive clients who schedule appointments and don't show up. The best part is that you can set up the integration and configure sales in less than 5 minutes.

Once the money is credited to your account, the meeting is confirmed, and Zencal sends appropriate notifications to ensure that both you and your client attend the meeting.

Profile Page

Not everyone needs a complicated website. For clients, the most important thing is to get to know you better and be able to easily schedule a meeting with you. With Zencal, you receive a clear and reliable profile page that you can easily customize to your preferences.

This is an ideal way to prepare a business card that you can send to your clients. It also saves you time and money needed to prepare a dedicated website.

Calendar on Your Website

Of course, for users who already have their own website, Zencal also offers the option to embed the calendar. Unlike other similar applications, this embedding is not done using the so-called iframe method.

What does this mean? It means you can freely modify the appearance of the calendar to match your website both in color and layout. Zencal then becomes an integral part of your site.

Does the embedded calendar allow for selling meetings? Of course, it does. Your clients can make a purchase without leaving your website until they are redirected to the payment gateway, where they complete a secure online transaction.

Is That All?

Definitely not! Zencal offers tremendous possibilities, including:

• Integration with any external system using Webhooks
• Access to API allowing you to build your own solution without worrying about scheduling and selling meetings
• Integration with accounting systems for automatic invoice generation
• Forms with questions for your clients to gather necessary information needed to provide the service
• And many, many other helpful options
