Bookeo available in more languages thanks to our volunteers

Bookeo was designed from the start to be fully multi-language, multi-currency, multi-format.

It can even be personalized to support the different date and time formats, currency and decimal formats, and country conventions such as the first day of the week (Sunday in the US, Monday in most other countries!).

It's a big world out there, and we don't want to leave anyone out.

Although Bookeo is already fully translated in 5 languages, we want to support as many as possible. We encourage volunteers to help by submitting a translation, in exchange for a free subscription. Only the customer-facing pages need to be translated by volunteers. The full translation, including the manager area, is way too big, and we leave that to professional translators.

This week we introduced the first two translations, Greek and Norwegian (Norsk), and more are under way. So a big thanks, and a handy reward, to our volunteers.

If you're interested in seeing Bookeo in your language, drop us a line to get more information!

your familiar Bookeo interface... now in Greek!

New feature: multiple account managers, new roles

We're pleased to announce the availability of a new feature, which was a very popular request.
You can now create multiple manager users for your account!
As of today, there are 3 user roles in Bookeo:

  • owner: there is only one user with this role. He/she is typically the person who owns the business, and is the default user created when you create a new Bookeo account. The owner has full control over every aspect of the account
  • manager: a manager can manage most settings of the account, but excluding subscriptions, billing, account cancellation, payment gateway setup, and the creation or changes of other users
  • user: a person that is only authorized to manage bookings and customers.
As usual, you can set fine-grained permissions for users (none, read-only, read-write), so that you can restrict which schedules they can see, and which schedules they can create bookings for.

For example in a busy practice you may want each therapist to be able to manage his/her own bookings, but only see bookings of others (or maybe not even see them). Whereas you would want your receptionist to be able to manage the schedule and bookings of everyone.

How to create a new 'manager': simply click on the account link at the top right, then on Users. Click on the 'New user' button, and then tick the checkbox.
