Recurring Appointments
A scheduling setup that automatically creates a series of future appointments on a regular interval without requiring each appointment to be booked individually.
Recurring appointments (also called repeating bookings or appointment series) automatically schedule a series of appointments on a defined schedule -- weekly, biweekly, monthly, or any other regular interval -- from a single booking action. The client books once and receives confirmations and reminders for all future sessions in the series. Recurring appointments are ideal for ongoing client relationships: therapy sessions, coaching engagements, personal training, tutoring, and any service with a regular cadence.
Recurring Appointments: Building Ongoing Client Relationships
Recurring appointment scheduling transforms the booking model from transactional to relational. Instead of requiring a client to make a new booking decision before each session, recurring scheduling captures the ongoing relationship at the start and maintains it automatically. For practitioners who work with clients on an ongoing basis -- therapists, coaches, trainers, tutors -- recurring scheduling is both a practical efficiency and a client experience improvement.
Setting Up Recurring Scheduling Effectively
The most effective recurring scheduling setup includes a clear description of the series structure (how many sessions, at what frequency, over what period), a total price or per-session price configured in Stripe, and a clear cancellation policy that specifies how individual sessions within a series can be cancelled. Setting these expectations at the time of the initial booking prevents misunderstandings later in the engagement.

There's no code, no integrations to wire up, and no manual steps. It's one of the core reasons service businesses choose Schedly over simpler booking tools that lack this capability.
