Can a visitor cancel or reschedule their own appointment?
Not yet. Appointments can only be modified or canceled manually by your team in the Calendar View. Updates to allow visitor-side changes are on the roadmap.
Can we offer both walk-ins and appointments at the same time?
Yes! Appointments are designed to work alongside walk-ins. You can manage both from a single Qminder setup.

What happens if a team member is unavailable during a booked time?
Qminder will prevent double-booking by checking synced calendar data and assigned availability. If a conflict occurs after booking, you can reassign the appointment manually.

Is appointment booking multilingual?
Yes! If your Visitor website, services, and input fields are already translated, the booking flow will automatically reflect that.
