Introduction
What is Slotara?
Slotara is a self-hosted, multi-tenant booking SaaS platform. Deploy it once — every business (tenant) gets their own branded public booking page where clients can browse services, pick a provider, choose a time slot, and pay, all without leaving the page.
Tenant owners manage their business through a dedicated Business Panel. You control the entire platform from the Super Admin Panel.
Feature Highlights
📅
Smart Booking Engine
Real-time slot generation based on provider working hours, service duration, and existing bookings. No double-booking is ever possible.
🏢
Full Multi-Tenancy
Each business is completely isolated — their own services, providers, staff, bookings, clients, and settings share the same database but are never visible to each other.
💳
Stripe Billing
Subscription billing for your tenants. Businesses pay for their plan via Stripe Checkout. Webhooks auto-provision tenants on payment success and handle renewals and cancellations.
📧
Email Engine
Fully customisable transactional email templates (booking confirmation, cancellation, reminders). Queue-powered delivery via any SMTP provider — Mailgun, Postmark, Amazon SES, or your own.
📖
My Bookings Portal
Logged-in clients get a cross-business
/my-bookings page — upcoming and past appointments from every business, grouped by brand, with one-click cancellation (with reason).🗂️
Form Builder
8-tab control centre for your public booking page: business profile, services, providers, drag-and-drop intake form (10 field types including signatures & file uploads), visual theme, success screen, and embed code or QR code — all in one place.
🔒
Security Suite
reCAPTCHA v3 on forms, password policy enforcement (complexity + history + expiry), login rate limiting, session timeout, and account lockouts.
📬
Contact Inbox
Contact form with reCAPTCHA protection feeds an in-app inbox. Admin can read and reply to each message directly from the panel.
🎥
Google Meet & Virtual Sessions
Mark any service as virtual and a unique Google Meet link is auto-generated for each booking via the Calendar API. Prefer Zoom or Teams? Disable Meet generation and paste a custom URL — the right link is always in the client's confirmation email and iCal file.
🌐
Multi-Language UI
Complete UI translation in 8 languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Arabic (RTL), Russian, Chinese, and Hindi. Users switch language instantly from the header — no reload required.
🧩
Add-on Modules New
Install official add-ons from the admin panel in one click and sell them to your businesses per plan. Only signed modules install, and a broken module is switched off on its own: your site and bookings keep working.
🧾
Invoices (free add-on) New
Every booking gets an invoice automatically, businesses can invoice by hand with tax, and customers get a print-ready invoice page with Paid / Overdue status.
🔄
One-Click Updates
Activate your license and install signed updates from the admin panel with live progress. Changed files are backed up and restored automatically if anything fails.
