How it works
Simple for clients. Easy for you to run.
Customer opens your booking link
Clients start from your shared Chataa booking link and continue directly in WhatsApp.
Customer chooses a service, date, and time
Chataa guides them through available services and booking options without back-and-forth messages.
Booking appears in your dashboard
The appointment is saved automatically, ready for you to manage from one place.
Features
Everything you need to take bookings on WhatsApp
Reduce back-and-forth WhatsApp messages
Guide customers through booking steps instead of repeating the same service, date, and time questions.
Let customers book anytime
Customers can start the booking flow when they are ready, even while you are with another client.
Show services with images, prices, and duration
Add the services customers can book, then show useful details before they choose.
Request deposits before confirming bookings
Ask customers to pay a deposit when you need commitment before holding a slot.
Avoid double bookings with availability settings
Set working hours and service durations so Chataa only offers times that fit your schedule.
Manage appointments from one dashboard
See confirmed, pending, cancelled, and completed bookings from one clear owner dashboard.

Choose the deposit that fits your service, whether it is R50, R100, or any amount that works for you.
Reduce no-shows
Use deposits to encourage customers to commit before you reserve time in your schedule.
Stay in control
Decide which services need deposits and whether bookings confirm instantly or after payment.
Built for independent service providers
Perfect for appointment-based service businesses using personal or business WhatsApp. No bulky setup. No forced payment rules.
Hybrid control
Run bookings your way on any plan
Every Chataa tier lets you keep conversations human while the booking assistant handles intentional booking requests.
Intentional booking starts
Customers start booking from your shared booking link.
Normal chats stay normal
Regular conversation does not trigger booking assistant replies.
Pause or resume anytime
Pause the booking assistant when needed, then resume when you're ready.
