FAQ
Do I need an account to book a service?
No. Pick a time, enter your contact info, and submit — you'll get a link by email to manage that request. Creating an account is only needed if you want your booking history saved across visits.
How do I pay the business?
Directly — AlignLocally never handles payment for a job. The business's accepted payment methods (cash, check, Venmo, etc.) show on their page if they've listed them.
I asked for a quote instead of booking a time — what happens now?
The business gets your request and follows up with pricing and a time that works, usually by email or through the messages on your confirmation link. There's nothing more to do until they respond.
Can I reschedule or cancel?
Use the link in your confirmation email. Cancelling is always available. Rescheduling depends on the business's plan — if you don't see a Reschedule option, message them directly through the same link.
Is AlignLocally finished?
We're in beta — the core booking flow works, but expect rough edges. If something looks broken, tell us on the Support page rather than assuming it's intentional.
I run a business — how much does this cost?
See the for businesses page for current plans. Nothing is charged during your free month.
Can I start setting up immediately?
Yes. You get immediate access to your dashboard to add services, set hours, and configure your calendar. While we're in beta, we quickly review each new account before your public link goes live.
