Appointment booking for Shopify
Your storefront takes the booking.
Checkout holds the slot.
Vault turns a product into a bookable service. Customers pick a time on your product page, a ten-minute hold travels with the cart through Shopify checkout, and your day runs from a front desk inside the admin — agenda, table, Google Meet rooms, and email confirmations included.

8 bookings · times in America/New_YorkThe real Day Agenda screen. The Now line is live on this page — in the app it re-reads the clock every minute, the same way.
Storefront time picker
A “Select a time” trigger on the product page opens a calendar — no theme surgery, works with any Online Store 2.0 theme.
Checkout holds
Picking a time reserves the slot for ten minutes. A Shopify Function blocks checkout if the hold lapses or the quantity changes.
Front desk
Month grid, day agenda, and bookings table group themselves: Happening now, Coming up, Earlier today. Walk-ins take one click.
Meet rooms & email
Online bookings get a Google Meet room, a calendar sync, and a confirmation email with the join link — automatically.
The app
Inside Vault, exactly as you'll meet it
Every screen below is the real UI — labels, badges, and numbers included. Install Vault and these are the screens you land on.
Automated canary synthetics simulate customer calendar loads every 15 minutes. Any timeout or capacity error triggers an emergency notification immediately.
Vault notifies this address within 60 seconds if storefront booking fails or theme embeds become unreachable.

What your customer sees
The whole booking happens inside your store — one modal, one cart, one checkout.

If the hold lapses, Shopify checkout says:“Your appointment reservation has expired. Please select a new time slot to complete checkout.”
The hold rides the cart line as signed, hidden properties. A checkout validation Function — not a script — enforces expiry and quantity.

Connect Google once (Settings) and every online booking ships with its Meet room, .ics invite, and a branded confirmation — Google's own invites stay suppressed.
Staff scheduling
One booking, four hands it passes through
Set the team up once in the Staff tab, and every booking walks the same relay: your roster, their hours, the customer’s pick, their phone. Every card below is the real screen — labels, badges, and buttons included.
The roster
Add each specialist with a name and title. Active badges, service counts, and per-person booking totals live on one card — the Staff tab exactly as it ships.

It lands on her phone
Every specialist gets a private mobile link — the same link the roster’s Mobile Link button shares. Open it anywhere: the day’s bookings, client notes, one-tap call, email, and Google Meet rooms. No Shopify account needed, and the merchant can regenerate the link anytime.

All four cards are the shipping app: the Staff tab, the Add Staff Member modal’s Working Hours tab, the booking modal’s staff selector, and the mobile schedule portal at its private link. Staff scheduling is part of the Plus plan — services without staff keep running on their existing schedule, unchanged. Demo store data shown.
Checkout guard
A slot behaves like inventory
Vault can't oversell a minute of your day. The rules run in Shopify Functions and atomic database writes — not in browser scripts that can be closed.
The same invariant guards the storefront, the hold, and checkout — enforced atomically, so two customers tapping the last seat at once produce one booking and one “just booked by another customer” message.
The hold is taken atomically against that person’s calendar and rides the cart as a signed, hidden property with the staff member’s name on the booking — the same invariant that guards a seat guards each specialist’s day.
“Your appointment reservation has expired. Please select a new time slot to complete checkout.” — the exact message Shopify checkout renders, from Vault's validation Function.
“Your appointment reservation covers 2 attendees, but your cart quantity is 3. Please set the quantity back to 2 to check out.”
A canary simulates a customer calendar load every 15 minutes; any timeout or capacity error pages your alert email immediately. Abandoned holds release themselves and the seat returns to the shelf.
