Get a notification on your phone for every new order

In short

  • Choose your notifications: a new order, a payment that comes in, or both.
  • Tap a notification to open the order straight away.
Mobile app
A notification for a new paid order, with the customer, rental period, amount and shop.

Why the app matters

Bookings come in while you are out on a delivery or at an event. With a notification on your phone, you see them right away, without checking your email.

No app store needed

You add it from your browser in a few taps, and it updates by itself.

Only what you choose

Pick the notifications you want, and switch them on for each phone or tablet you use.

Straight to the order

Every notification opens the right order, with the customer and the rental period.

How Be-Bookable solves it

  1. Add it to your home screen. On your phone or tablet, open your dashboard and go to Integrations. On Android, tap Install. On an iPhone or iPad, tap Share and choose Add to Home Screen.
  2. Turn on notifications. Open My account and tick New order, Payment received or both under Notifications. Your phone asks once for permission.
  3. Get notified. A notification arrives when a customer books in your web shop. With online payment, it comes once the payment is in. A payment on an existing order, for example through a payment link, gets its own notification.
  4. Tap to open. The notification opens the order in the app, where you work just like in order management.

Frequently Asked Questions
