Question 1

I work alone, without an assistant. Is this for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Free plan is enough: a booking page, calendar, client base and confirmations. The link in your Telegram channel or website takes bookings while you're in a hearing.

Question 2

Can I take payment for the first consultation up front?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Turn on online payment for the services you choose — the client pays the full price at booking, straight to your account. There's no partial prepayment; if a client cancels a paid booking, the money isn't refunded automatically — you decide, and can refund it with a button in the admin.

Question 3

I consult online. How does the client get the link?

Accepted Answer

There's no video calling inside Domovleno, and a link can't be added to the service email. Write in the online consultation's description how and when you'll send the link — the client sees it on the booking page — and send it yourself after the booking.

Question 4

How do I stop bookings landing on a court hearing?

Accepted Answer

Block that time with an exception in your schedule — clients won't see it on the booking page. Online, people can book no later than 30 minutes before the start and no more than 31 days ahead.

Question 5

There are several lawyers in our office. How does that work?

Accepted Answer

Each has their own schedule and services with their own consultation price. The client chooses who to book with, and you see all schedules side by side in one calendar. Separate logins for colleagues are on Pro, with no extra charge per specialist.

Question 6

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

The Free plan is free forever, with no limit on bookings. Pro with SMS reminders and the AI assistant costs $19/month billed yearly or $25 month-to-month, and every new account gets it free for 7 days — no card needed. The price doesn't depend on how many lawyers you have.

Question 7

Can I charge a small fee to a prospective client who cancelled a first consultation without notice — and do I need to state that rule in writing?

Accepted Answer

There's no automatic cancellation or no-show fee in Domovleno. If the consultation was paid online at booking, the money isn't refunded automatically after a cancellation: you get a notification and decide, and can refund it with a button in the admin. Put your cancellation rule in the service description — the client sees it on the booking page before paying. Whether you need a separate written form depends on your practice's rules; we don't advise on that.

Question 8

How can I tell at the first consultation that this isn't «my» client?

Accepted Answer

Domovleno doesn't screen clients for you, but it helps in advance: write in the service description which matters you take on and what to bring — people see it before they book. And if you turn on online payment for the first consultation, the people who book are those ready to pay for it.

Question 9

How do I avoid working for free in messengers before a contract is signed?

Accepted Answer

Send the booking page link instead of answering in the chat: the client sees the consultation's format, length and price, picks a time and, if you turned it on, pays right away. You can pin the link in your Telegram channel description or Instagram bio.

Question 10

How do I run a first meeting so it isn't the last — and how much time should I book for it?

Accepted Answer

You set the consultation length yourself — 30, 45 or 60 minutes, as a separate service for each format. A buffer after the service leaves time to write conclusions in the client note, and the list of what to bring goes in the service description — the client sees it on the booking page.

Question 11

I'm a private notary. Does Domovleno work for booking notarial acts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for organising appointments. Each act is its own service with its own duration: a 15-minute signature certification and a two-hour contract sit in one schedule, and each takes exactly its own time in the calendar. Put the list of documents in the service description — clients see it when they book; the description doesn't go into reminders. The service name appears in the confirmation email, so pick neutral names for sensitive acts. Domovleno has no registries, forms or document workflow, and a booking is made for one client: you notify the other party to a deal yourself.

Time	Service	Duration	Typical price
9:00	First consultation online or by phone	30 min	₴1000–2000
