Acuity is built for scheduling.
We're built for Shopify.
Acuity is a general-purpose scheduler that works the same way for any business. Easy Appointment Booking is built specifically for Shopify, so bookings become orders, customers, and follow-ups in the brand and theme your store already wears.
Bookings sync to Shopify Customers
Free or paid, every booking ties to the Shopify customer. Past orders, POS check-ins, and follow-ups all in one place.
Calendar embeds on your store
The widget sits inside your store, in your fonts and colors. Customers never bounce to a yourstore.as.me URL.
Joe books a tasting. With Acuity, that's where the story ends.
Joe books through Acuity. You get an email with his name and time slot, and that data sits in Acuity's database, completely separate from your Shopify store. You don't know Joe bought a case of Pinot last spring, you don't know his lifetime value, you don't know which staff member rang him up at the counter.
Easy Appointment Booking writes every booking, free or paid, directly onto Joe's Shopify customer record.
Paid bookings become Shopify orders
Real orders, with discount codes, gift cards, taxes, and Klaviyo all working out of the box.
Free bookings still land on the customer
Check Joe in at Shopify POS when he arrives. Anything he buys in person gets attributed back to the visit.
Either way, your follow-up sees the full picture. Now the post-visit email can say: “Hi Joe, hope you enjoyed the tasting. Here's 10% off your next bottle.”

Acuity is bolted on. We sit inside your store.
With Acuity, the “Book a session” button takes your customer off your store and onto a yourstore.as.me URL. The look and feel is totally different. The brand they were just falling in love with disappears.
With Easy Appointment Booking, the widget fits naturally on any Shopify page, including product pages. It picks up your theme's fonts, buttons, and colors. Customers can book a tasting next to the buy button, add bottles to the same cart, and check out the way they always do.
The booking journey looks like an extension of your brand, because it is.
The staff cap is the small win.
Acuity caps staff per tier. We're flat per store and write directly to Shopify Orders and Customers.

Why EAB is better value
No staff caps in your plan
Acuity caps staff per tier (1, then 6, then 36). We don't tier by staff count, $39/mo flat covers the store and all event schedules. Optional team portal at $8/staff/mo for self-service.
Bookings on the customer record
Free or paid, every booking lands on Shopify Customers, not in a parallel database.
Calendar embeds in your theme
Sits on any Shopify page, in your fonts and colors. No yourstore.as.me redirect.
Real Shopify revenue
Real orders, discount codes, gift cards, taxes, and reporting baked in.
Bottom line: A team that needs more than 6 staff has to jump to Acuity Powerhouse at $61/mo. The same team sharing admin on EAB Pro Plus pays $39/mo flat. If staff want their own self-service portal, add $8/staff/mo, plus you keep every Shopify integration above.

Common questions
What merchants ask before switching.
Because every other tool in your stack already speaks Shopify. Paid bookings become real Shopify orders, with discount codes, gift cards, taxes, and revenue all in the same dashboard. Free bookings still write to the customer profile, so when the guest walks in, you can check them in at Shopify POS and any in-person sale gets attributed back to that visit. Either way, follow-ups, reporting, and Klaviyo flows see the full picture. With Acuity, that data sits in a parallel database that has to be reconciled by hand or stitched together with Zapier.
