Prepaid scheduling for expert time

Get paid before the call.

BitterCal gives consultants, coaches, and advisors one booking page that quotes the price, screens the client, collects payment, and sends the calendar invite after checkout clears.

Paid-time workflow

One path from interest to paid appointment.

BitterCal is for calls that should not be “free calendar time.” It keeps the price, intake, payment status, and calendar confirmation attached to the same booking record.

1. Price the time

Set the offer before anyone sees your calendar.

Publish your rate, duration, meeting format, intake prompt, and booking window from one workspace.

2. Screen the client

Ask for context at the moment they pick a slot.

Clients choose from real availability, add the problem they want solved, and confirm the details before checkout.

3. Collect payment

Hold the slot only when checkout starts.

BitterCal sends the client through prepaid checkout and confirms the session after payment clears.

4. Send the invite

Turn paid bookings into calendar events.

Google Calendar conflict checks, invite write-back, receipts, and meeting links keep the paid session operational.

Revenue surface

Put the booking page where clients already decide to buy.

Use a hosted page for direct links, or embed the popup on an existing site so a consulting offer can move straight into paid scheduling.
