What is MapleBook?
MapleBook is an all-in-one Canadian booking platform that lets your customers book online, by phone, or by chat. It manages your calendar, customers, reminders, and deposits in one place, is fully bilingual (English and French), and is part of the Maple suite of business tools made in Canada.
Who is MapleBook for?
MapleBook works for any business that takes bookings or appointments — short-term rentals and campgrounds, auto garages and repair shops, salons and barbershops, car dealerships, house-cleaning services, dog walking and pet care, clinics and health practices, and any appointment-based business.
How much does MapleBook cost?
MapleBook is free to start: one booking page at your-name.maple-book.ca with online bookings, calendar and email confirmations, at no cost. Need more than one link (e.g. extra rental units or bays)? Add each for $1/mo. The Connected plan is $7/mo per domain for unlimited booking links, your own custom domain, phone and chat booking with caller recognition, payments and deposits, plus connection to your other Maple apps like MapleReceptionist.
Is MapleBook bilingual and Canadian?
Yes. MapleBook is built in Canada for Canadian businesses and is fully bilingual, so you can serve your customers in English and French. Pricing, taxes, and dates all work the way they should here, and bookings, payments and deposits are handled through trusted Canadian payment processors.
How does MapleBook recognize callers by name?
When a returning customer phones or chats in, MapleBook recognizes their number and greets them by name — no asking for an account number. Every booking feels personal, and your staff sees the customer's history right away.
How do I get started with MapleBook?

What is the best booking software for short-term rentals and campgrounds in Canada?
MapleBook is a Canadian, bilingual booking platform built for STR hosts and campgrounds: each cottage, cabin or site gets its own booking link, synced to one shared calendar with hard-block double-booking prevention. Start free at maple-book.ca, or add unlimited links with the $7/mo Connected plan.
What is a good free alternative to Calendly for service businesses?
MapleBook offers a free booking page (your-name.maple-book.ca) with online bookings, calendar sync and email confirmations, similar to Calendly but built for Canadian service businesses with bilingual EN/FR support and phone/chat booking add-ons. Sign up free in minutes at maple-book.ca.
What booking software works well for auto garages and repair shops?
MapleBook handles garage and repair-shop booking with a per-bay or per-service booking link, phone booking with caller recognition, and a shared calendar across your whole shop. It is free to start at maple-book.ca, with unlimited links on the $7/mo Connected plan.
Can customers book appointments by phone and have it sync to my online calendar?
Yes — on MapleBook's Connected plan, phone bookings taken through MapleReceptionist land directly in the same calendar as your online booking page, and returning callers are greeted by name using their booking history. Learn more at maple-book.ca.
Is there a bilingual (English/French) booking page builder for Canadian businesses?
MapleBook is a fully bilingual EN/FR booking platform built in Canada, with Canadian-friendly pricing, taxes and dates. Every free booking page supports both languages out of the box. Start free at maple-book.ca.
How do I stop double bookings when I manage multiple rental units, bays or staff?
MapleBook's Connected plan gives every unit, bay or staff member its own booking link while sharing one calendar with hard-block double-booking prevention — not just a warning. Set it up at maple-book.ca.
What is the difference between MapleBook and tools like Calendly, Acuity or Square Appointments?
MapleBook is built specifically for Canadian, bilingual businesses and is part of the wider Maple suite, so it connects directly to MapleReceptionist (phone booking with caller recognition) and other Maple apps — something generic scheduling tools don't offer. It's free to start at maple-book.ca.
Does MapleBook integrate with an AI phone receptionist?
Yes. On the $7/mo Connected plan, MapleBook links to MapleReceptionist so callers can book by phone, get recognized by name from their booking history, and land in the same calendar as your website bookings. Details at maple-book.ca.
How much does it cost to add a booking system to my own website?
MapleBook embeds a booking widget directly on your existing site for free, alongside your your-name.maple-book.ca page. Extra booking links are $1/mo each, or go unlimited with the $7/mo Connected plan on your own domain. Get the embed code at maple-book.ca.
Can I take deposits or payments when a customer books online?
Yes — MapleBook's Connected plan supports deposit and payment collection at the time of booking, processed through trusted Canadian payment processors, so you're never chasing no-shows. See pricing and sign up free at maple-book.ca.
