How photographers run bookings with NeetoCal

Who this is for

NeetoCal is for portrait, family, newborn, headshot, wedding and event photographers, working alone or in a studio. It handles booking, deposits, contracts and reminders.

It is free for every photographer.

Mini sessions in one day

Run holiday or seasonal mini sessions as short back-to-back slots with buffer time in between. Set a daily limit so you don't overbook a shoot day.

Deposits and payments

Take a deposit or the full fee when clients book, through Stripe, PayPal or ACH, with 0% commission from NeetoCal. Sell extra prints or edits as add-ons, and price sessions by length with duration-based pricing.

Contracts before the shoot

Attach your terms to the booking page with contracts. Every client gets them to sign as soon as they book, so nothing is left for the day of the shoot.

Shoots on location

For family or wedding shoots, let clients enter the address with client location, or set a fixed studio or park with in-person meetings. Ask about the number of people and the look they want with custom booking form fields.

Fewer reschedules on the day

Send reminders with what to wear and where to meet by email, SMS or WhatsApp. Set a cancellation policy for weather and late changes.

What NeetoCal costs

NeetoCal is free for unlimited photographers, booking pages and bookings, including deposits, contracts and reminders. The only paid option removes NeetoCal branding and adds custom CSS, at $5 per user per month or $30 per user per year. See NeetoCal pricing.

SMS reminders need your own Twilio or Telnyx account, and WhatsApp includes 100 free messages per workspace a month, with paid packs after that.

What NeetoCal doesn't do

NeetoCal does not deliver galleries, proof photos or send invoices for final balances. Use it for booking and deposits next to your gallery tool.

Recurring
appointments

Clients can book their slots beforehand, preventing others from taking reserved slots. This ensures that your clients have the peace of mind knowing that their preferred time slots are secured for them.

Accept payments
ahead of sessions

Payments for recurring appointments are processed 48 hours beforehand, ensuring availability without immediate charges. This secure, convenient process confirms reserved slots with automatic payments.
