Booking pages with content

A booking page can hold videos, images, testimonials, documents, maps, FAQs and profile details next to the calendar, with themes and brand colors.

Paid bookings and packages

Payment is collected through Stripe or PayPal before a booking is confirmed, with no commission from Lunacal. Multi-session packages need Teams or Enterprise.

Calendar sync

Connects an unlimited number of Google, Outlook and Apple calendars with two-way sync and checks for conflicts across all of them.

Team scheduling

Teams and Enterprise add round robin and collective events, team booking pages, and scheduling across several locations and services.

Reminders and workflows

Workflows send email and text messages before and after meetings, including confirmations, reminders and follow-ups.

Event types and intake forms

One-to-one meetings, group sessions and recurring events, each with custom booking questions, buffers, notice periods and optional manual approval.

Styled scheduling pages

Start from a design template and adjust layout, colors and media, add a welcome video, and ask custom questions. Custom fonts and unlimited videos are Pro features.

Unlimited links and calendars

The free plan puts no cap on booking links or connected calendars, and checks Google, Outlook and Apple calendars to avoid double bookings.

Team scheduling

Pro adds teams with a shared team page, collective events that need every selected host to be free, and round robin events with priority for chosen members.

Meeting polls and group invites

Polls let guests vote on proposed times before the host sets the final slot, and are unlimited on the free plan. Group invites let several people book one slot.

Paid bookings through Stripe

Charge invitees at booking through a connected Stripe account. The free plan adds a 3% zcal commission; Pro removes it and adds coupon codes.

Email reminders are free. Pro adds SMS reminders, multiple and customized reminder messages, and automatic follow-up emails after a meeting.
