Three Ways to Book
Pick the mode that fits your workflow—or use different modes for different services.
Minimal
Simple date picker. Perfect for clients who already know their date—nobody's moving their wedding for a Tuesday discount.
Automatic Slots
Shows your available time slots automatically. Great when you and the client both have flexibility on scheduling.
Predefined Slots
You define exactly which slots are available. Perfect for golden hour shoots where you only have one window per day.
MINI SESSIONS
Sell out your mini sessions with one link.
Post a link on social. Clients pick a slot, sign your contract, and pay. No DM coordination required. Send reminders to reduce no-shows and blast all attendees with last-minute updates.
- Set your date, times, and slot length
- Share one link—they pick and pay
- Automatic reminders to reduce no-shows
- Group multiple days into one booking link

PROPOSALS
Not everyone books online. That's fine.
Some clients want to talk first—especially for weddings and custom shoots. Send them a beautiful proposal with multiple package options, your contract, and payment all in one link.
- Multiple package alternatives in one proposal
- Track when they view it
- Auto-blocks if you book the date elsewhere
- Close deals in minutes, not days
Date protection: If you book the date elsewhere while a proposal is pending, Check Cherry automatically blocks the old proposal from being accepted. No awkward double-booking calls.
