WhatsApp appointment booking software for Indian businesses — UPI deposits to your own account, 0% commission

Take bookings on your own WhatsApp — no app for customers, UPI deposits straight to your own account, and 0% commission. Free for up to 50 bookings a month.

A clinic, salon or tuition centre in India runs on a phone that never stops — and hands that are always busy. The doctor is with a patient, the stylist is mid-colour, and the one number everyone calls to book rings out until the customer gives up and tries the place down the road. WhatsApp is where your customers already are, but a person reading and replying to every 'kal appointment milega?' between clients simply doesn't scale. Meanwhile the booking apps that promise to help quietly take a slice of every appointment, keep your customer list on their platform, and push your customers to download yet another app just to see a free slot. For a small business counting every rupee, that is a lot to give away for a diary.

Welqo turns your own WhatsApp number into a receptionist that answers instantly, day or night. A customer messages, 'Sir, Saturday shaam ko haircut ho jayega?' and Welqo replies in the same Hindi, checks your real calendar, offers the slots that genuinely fit, and books the one they pick — without you touching the phone. On a higher-value service it asks for a small deposit, the customer pays over UPI right in the chat, and the slot is actually held. A day before and two hours before, an automatic reminder goes out on WhatsApp, where people actually read it. If they cancel, that freed Saturday-evening slot is offered to your waitlist on its own, so a gap in a busy day has a chance to fill itself instead of sitting empty.

The money side is where an Indian business feels the difference. Welqo charges a flat monthly fee and takes 0% commission on a booking, ever. Any deposit or prepaid pack settles straight into your own account through Razorpay or UPI, so you invoice under your own name and GST and no middleman sits between you and your customer's money. Your customer list stays yours to export, rebook and win back, not locked inside a marketplace. Welqo auto-detects and replies in 40+ languages — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali and more — with no 'choose your language' step for the customer. When a chat needs a human, one tap hands it to you, and every booking syncs to your Google Calendar so the whole team sees the same day. Most businesses go live the same day.

Frequently asked questions

Do my customers need to download an app to book?

No. Your customers just message your business on WhatsApp, or open a shareable web booking link — there is nothing for them to install and no account to create. Welqo runs on the official WhatsApp Business Platform, so the whole booking happens in the chat they already use.

Where do UPI and Razorpay deposits actually go?

Straight into your own account. You connect your own Razorpay or UPI, and every deposit or prepaid-pack payment settles directly to you — Welqo never holds the money and takes 0% commission on the booking. Because it is your account, you invoice under your own name and GST.

Can it reply to customers in Hindi, Tamil or Telugu?

Yes. Welqo auto-detects the language a customer writes in and replies in the same one, across 40+ languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali and Kannada. There is no 'pick a language' step — a customer messaging in Hinglish gets answered in Hinglish.

Is there a free plan for a small business just starting out?

Yes. The Free forever plan handles up to 50 bookings a month with automatic reminders included and no card required. When you outgrow it, the Booking plan at ₹999/month adds unlimited bookings, Google Calendar sync and a customer list.

Free to start — a shareable web booking page plus AI booking. Paid plans from ₹999 / $15 a month unlock unlimited AI WhatsApp booking and reminders, and the Front Desk plan (₹2,499 / $39) adds no-show recovery, deposits, waitlist backfill and broadcasts.
