Omnichannel

Retail, first.

Turn online strangers into retail customers.

A booking drops into the cart like any other product and gets rung up alongside the rest of the basket — one checkout, one receipt. So a booking isn't a payment sitting off to the side; it's a sale you can see.

Why Sesami

Built for commerce, end to end.

Everything you need to sell time the way you sell products — and run it your way.

  • Checkout that sells

    Bookings run through real commerce checkout — cart, upsells, taxes, discounts. On Shopify or on your own.

  • Get paid your way

    Charge online, take a deposit, or settle at the POS — per service, your rules. Fewer no-shows, cash up front.

  • One place to run it

    Calendar, customers, staff, locations and analytics — the whole operation lives in the Admin Portal.

  • Automate the busywork

    Reminders, confirmations, check-ins and follow-ups run themselves with Sesami Flows.

The platform

A platform for the agentic era.

Built for developers — and their AI agents — by developers.

Booking is an API primitive at Sesami, not a widget bolted onto a storefront. Availability, reservations, checkout and resources are all addressable, so an agent can read what's free and write a booking the same way your own code does.

Experience

Add booking to your storefront with a single tag. Drop-in calendar UI, reservations and Shopify integration included.

Embed the Experience

SDK

Build your own booking UI on top of the Sesami Storefront API. Full control, your design, your stack.

Customer journey

Own every step of the journey.

Not one touchpoint left to chance.

Most booking tools hand you the booking and stop there. Sesami turns every step into an event you can act on — so the reminder, the check-in, the no-show, the follow-up and the rebook are all yours to design, and none of them go missing.

The booking journey: discover, book, checkout, remind, return — each step an event Sesami Flows and Klaviyo can act on. DiscoverBookCheckoutRemindReturn

Events you can build on

  • Booking confirmed
  • Upcoming reminder
  • Check-in
  • No-show marked
  • Rescheduled
  • Cancelled
  • Follow-up
  • Abandoned booking
  • Interested lead

Industries

If it can be booked, it runs on Sesami.

The mechanics change with the trade. A tasting has a room and a capacity, a color service has a stylist and a processing gap, a repair has a drop-off. These pages cover what each one needs.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Still need something? Get in touch and we'll come back to you.

What is Sesami?

Sesami is a commerce-first booking platform for service businesses and retailers. Customers book services, classes and experiences online, and every booking flows through real commerce checkout rather than a separate payment silo.

Do I need Shopify to use Sesami?

No. Sesami runs as a Shopify app for merchants already selling on Shopify, and it also runs standalone with a Sesami-hosted booking page you can sell from directly.

Can customers pay in person instead of at booking time?

Yes. Paying at booking time is optional. A customer can just book, then pay at your point of sale, where the booking drops into the cart like any product and is rung up alongside retail items in one checkout.

What does Sesami cost?

Sesami is a monthly software subscription and is free to start. Pricing scales with the volume and features you need.

Can I build my own booking experience?

Yes. Embed the drop-in Experience with a single tag, build your own UI on the Sesami SDK, or talk to the API directly. All three are documented at sesami.dev.

Does Sesami handle reminders and follow-ups?

Sesami sends booking confirmations, cancellations and rescheduling emails. Reminders, check-ins and follow-ups run through Sesami Flows, which also connects to Klaviyo.
