Proof 01

The booked slot is the beginning, not the endpoint.

Availability, service, provider, client, and source stay attached to the work.

Let clients book 24/7

Share one booking link with live availability, service choices, provider options, confirmations, reminders, and approval rules where needed.

Keep work attached to the appointment

Client records, chart notes, job logs, documents, invoices, and follow-up context stay connected to the service history.

Turn slow windows into action

Merba can help identify underused services, overdue rebookings, local openings, and campaign opportunities instead of leaving the owner to guess.

Conversion path

Start with the calendar. Keep the whole intelligence loop.

Create the workspace, publish booking when ready, then add payments, client context, quotes, invoices, discovery, and campaigns as the business grows.

1

Open the workspace

Set up the business, services, category, and basic profile.

2

Publish the booking path

Turn on online booking when services, rules, and availability are ready.

3

Connect operations

Add reminders, client records, invoices, quotes, payments, and staff workflows.

4

Use the intelligence loop

Act on Market Intel, Guardian recommendations, Knowledge Loop memory, and Marketing opportunities.

Owner questions

What owners usually ask before bringing the business home.

Is Merba only for salons?

No. Merba supports independent service businesses across beauty, wellness, clinics, trades, home service, and local operators that book appointments or jobs.

Does Merba charge a booking commission?

No. Merba charges software subscriptions and optional credits. It does not take a cut from tenant bookings.

Can Canadian businesses use CAD pricing?

Yes. Merba pricing is listed in CAD, with Canadian tax handling available where the business has configured its tax settings.
