Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching to BookWellNow.
How does BookWellNow Free compare to LatePoint Free?
While LatePoint Free is heavily restricted—limiting you to a single service and requiring paid Pro add-ons for staff members, PayPal, and Zoom—BookWellNow Free comes equipped with unlimited staff, unlimited services, PayPal online payments, and Zoom integration out of the box.
Can I accept online payments with BookWellNow Free without buying LatePoint add-ons?
Yes. LatePoint requires purchasing their paid extension bundle or Pro license for PayPal payments. BookWellNow Free includes built-in PayPal integration so you can accept online client payments without paying extra add-on fees.
Does LatePoint Free allow multiple staff members?
No. Multi-staff management in LatePoint is restricted to their Pro plan. BookWellNow Free supports unlimited staff members with individual shifts, custom working hours, and personal break schedules.
Can I manage multiple business locations on the free plan?
Yes! In LatePoint, multi-location support requires an upgrade. BookWellNow Free includes multi-location configuration so your clients can select their preferred branch during booking.
What payment gateways are supported in each plugin's free tier?
LatePoint Free includes Stripe and Razorpay integration, but locks PayPal behind Pro. BookWellNow Free includes native PayPal integration out of the box for immediate online checkout.
Does BookWellNow Free include a customer dashboard?
Yes. BookWellNow Free provides a full customer management portal where clients can log in, view their upcoming appointments, and manage booking details self-sufficiently.
Are both plugins lightweight and fast?
Both plugins prioritize clean performance. However, BookWellNow operates cleanly without requiring heavy third-party add-on scripts, keeping your WordPress database lean and speed optimized.
How do I migrate my scheduling system from LatePoint to BookWellNow?
Simply install BookWellNow from WordPress plugin search, configure your services and staff through our 3-step setup wizard, and place the booking shortcode on your website.
