Running appointment bookings in Saudi Arabia has a few practical needs. The first is an Arabic booking page that reads right to left, since many customers browse in Arabic, with English for those who prefer it. The second is showing prices in Saudi riyals, the way customers pay. The third is a schedule that respects the Friday–Saturday weekend and working hours that change in Ramadan, when many businesses shift to the hours after iftar and late into the night. In Replx you set these yourself through working hours and closures per branch and per provider. It is also worth planning for evening peaks, when many customers prefer to book after work, and for the days before Eid, when demand tends to rise. Checking availability before confirmation keeps one provider from being booked twice in those crowded hours.

• Regulars book their own barber

  A customer opens the link on his phone, sees the shop's services with prices and the open times of his usual barber, and books in a few steps without calling or waiting for a reply.

• Barber shifts and skills

  Set each barber's hours so the evening-shift barber is never offered in the morning. If the shop has a kids' chair or a grooming corner, link those services only to the barbers who provide them.

• Visit packages for regulars

  Sell a visit package to customers who come every week or two, or a groom's bundle that pairs a cut with a facial. Any customer can also gift a haircut to a friend.

• Several shops, one account

  With one shop in a residential district and another near the market, each keeps its own barbers and hours, and the owner sees both from one console without logging in twice.

• Read the rush from the record

  Booking and finance reports per shop show which days are busiest and what they bring in, so the number of barbers on each shift follows what actually happened.

Does Replx show prices in riyals?

Yes. Replx subscription prices are in Saudi riyals and exclude VAT where it applies, and your booking page shows your service prices in riyals exactly as you set them in your account.

Can I set Ramadan hours?

Yes. You change working hours per branch and per provider to fit Ramadan, and add closures for days you do not open, such as Eid days. The open times on your booking page follow those hours directly.

Is the booking page in Arabic?

Yes. The booking page and the console work in right-to-left Arabic and in English, so customers choose the language they prefer and your team can work in Arabic too.

Do I need a commercial registration to try Replx?

The free trial only needs a company account and an email address, with no credit card and no automatic charge when it ends. For the regulatory requirements of your business itself, check with the relevant authorities.

Does Replx collect VAT on my services?

No. Replx keeps the invoices and payments log and shows finance reports, but it does not collect tax or file returns on your behalf. That stays with your business and your accountant.

Does Replx work for a barbershop that takes walk-ins?

Yes, in its own way: Replx has no separate walk-in queue. When a customer walks in, staff add a booking for him from the console with a free barber, so he appears on the same schedule as online bookings and clashes are checked before confirming.

Can a customer always book the same barber?

Yes. The customer picks the barber when booking and sees only that barber's open times. If the barber is on leave, no times appear for those days, so the customer knows before he makes the trip.
