Session types set the rules
Each bookable offer is a session type: a name, a price, a duration and the rules around it. You choose the deposit (the full price, a percentage or a fixed amount), the days and hours you accept bookings, how many sessions can share a slot, the minimum notice you need, how far ahead clients may book, and buffer time around each session.
A session type priced "from" or "quote on request" is shown on your booking page but cannot be booked directly; clients are asked to enquire instead, so pricing conversations stay conversations.
The public booking page
Your studio gets a public booking page listing its session types. A client picks a session and a time; Veyra checks it against your availability rules and locks the slot, so two clients cannot take the same time. The booking creates or updates the client's contact record, keeps any campaign tags that brought them, and can start a project for the job automatically.
Booking times follow your studio's time zone. The page notes that booking is managed with Veyra.
Deposits and payment
When a session type requires a deposit, the booking creates an invoice with the booking deposit as its first line and the remaining balance on a schedule, then sends the client straight to payment. Without a deposit, the client receives a booking confirmation email instead.
Clients pay by card, PayPal or bank transfer, depending on which methods you have connected. Card payments run through your own Stripe connection, so client money settles with you, not with Veyra.
What booking does not do yet
External calendar sync. Bookings and shoot dates live in Veyra's calendar. There is currently no Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook or ICS feed, so if you run a second calendar you will need to copy dates across.
Recurring billing. A retainer-style session type can describe ongoing work, but Veyra does not yet charge clients on an automatic recurring schedule.
