Online ordering & bookings

Online ordering & booking systems for Irish businesses

We add online ordering or booking to your website so customers can buy your products or reserve your time directly, with secure card payments, instead of only by phone or DM.

Online ordering & bookings

What's included

  • An online shop and checkout. For businesses selling products: a simple, mobile-friendly shop with a secure checkout.

  • Or an online booking calendar. For appointment-led businesses: customers book available slots themselves, day or night.

  • Secure card payments. Card payments handled by trusted providers like Stripe, so money lands safely in your account.

  • Easy order & booking management. See and manage everything from one simple dashboard, on your desk or your phone.

  • Automatic confirmations. Customers get an email confirmation, and so do you, no missed orders or double-bookings.

Our step-by-step process

Here's exactly how we'll work together, from first conversation to finished result.

  1. 1

    We map how you sell or take bookings today

    We start by understanding your current process, how orders or bookings come in now, your busy times, and where customers give up, whether that's phone tag, endless DMs or no-shows.

  2. 2

    We recommend the right setup

    Based on how you actually make money, we recommend a shop with checkout, an online booking calendar, or both, and agree exactly what a finished, working system looks like for you.

  3. 3

    We design the flow

    We wireframe the buying or booking journey so it takes as few steps as possible, then design it to match your site. A confusing checkout or booking form loses sales, so this stage matters.

  4. 4

    You review, we refine

    You try the flow yourself and we adjust it before it ever goes near a real customer or your bank account.

  5. 5

    We build it and connect payments

    We build the shop or booking system into your website and connect secure card payments through a trusted provider like Stripe, so money lands safely in your account.

  6. 6

    We test end to end and hand over

    We place test orders and bookings, confirm that confirmations and payouts work as they should, and show you how to manage everything from one simple dashboard.

Who it's for

Shops and producers who want to sell online, and appointment businesses, salons, barbers, clinics, therapists, trades, who want customers to book themselves without the back-and-forth.

Frequently asked questions

Can customers pay or book directly on my website?
Yes. For shops we set up online ordering with a secure card checkout; for appointment businesses we set up an online booking calendar. Either way customers can buy or book outside opening hours.
Do I need an online shop or a booking calendar?
It depends on how you make money: sell products and you'll want a shop with checkout; sell your time and you'll want a booking calendar. Some businesses use both, and we'll advise on the right fit.
Which payment providers do you use?
We typically use Stripe, a trusted global provider, so card payments are secure and land directly in your account. Their standard transaction fees apply.
Is this covered by the Trading Online Voucher?
Often yes, adding the ability to sell or take bookings online is a core aim of the voucher. Final eligibility is decided by your Local Enterprise Office, and we'll help you apply.
