A week at a glance, or a month
Guests scan a full week laid out hour by hour, or switch to a month grid and open a single day. The same availability drives both.
Merryhive gives you one link to send. Guests see the hours you actually work — minus whatever is already on your calendar — in their own timezone. They pick a time, and both of you get the confirmation, the calendar invite and the meeting link.
Free to start — no card, no trial timer.
Not a form that emails you to ask. A page that already knows when you are free, and finishes the job without you.
A new account already has two meeting types and a Monday-to-Friday schedule in it, so the shortest version of this is: sign up, copy the link, send it.
Pick a start and end time for each weekday. Then override single dates — block the day you are travelling, or give a Saturday a one-off window.
A 15-minute intro, a 60-minute review. Each meeting type carries its own duration, description, location, padding, notice period and booking horizon.
Your page lives at merryhive.com/yourname. Guests book themselves, and the confirmation, the calendar invite and the meeting link go out on their own.
A meeting is not one moment. It is a stranger finding a time, your calendar staying honest about what is already there, and everything that has to happen afterwards.
Chapter one
Your public page is the whole product from a guest's side. It should answer their questions before they ask you.
Guests scan a full week laid out hour by hour, or switch to a month grid and open a single day. The same availability drives both.
Merryhive detects the guest’s timezone, labels it plainly, and lets them change it from a list. The choice is remembered for next time.
Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, a phone call, WhatsApp, in person, or a link of your own. Zoom and Teams meetings are created for you at booking time.
Add your own questions to the booking form — free text, longer notes, or a fixed set of choices — and mark the ones that are required.
Chapter two
The availability engine is the part nobody sees and everybody notices the moment it is wrong.
Hours per weekday, plus date overrides for the days that break the pattern — mark a date unavailable, or give it different hours than usual.
Connect Google Calendar and its busy times are removed from your page before a guest ever sees them. Google and Outlook events also draw as Busy blocks on the calendar — busy and free only, never titles — so guests can see around them.
Padding before and after a meeting so you are not back to back. A minimum notice so nobody books you in nine minutes. A cap on how far into the future the page opens.
If Merryhive loses access to your calendar it refuses to guess — and emails you about it, rather than quietly turning bookings away while you wonder where everyone went.
Chapter three
The booking is the easy half. What follows it is where scheduling tools usually leave you holding the thread.
Confirmations to the guest and to you, with a calendar invite attached. Reminders 24 hours and one hour ahead. Cancellations and reschedules notify both sides.
Every confirmation carries its own cancel link and reschedule link. Nobody has to start a reply-all thread to move a meeting by thirty minutes.
Connect your own Razorpay account, turn payment on for a meeting type, and the guest pays by UPI, card or netbanking before the slot is held. The money goes straight to you, not through us.
Point a webhook at your endpoint and Merryhive POSTs booking.created, booking.canceled and booking.rescheduled to it, signed with your secret so you can verify it.
Propose a handful of times, send one link, and let a group mark which ones work. You pick the winner once the votes are in.
A single-use link with its own title, note and expiry — for the meeting you want to offer one person without putting it on your public page.
Everyone you have met, with notes and history. Page views, bookings, show rate and which meeting type actually converts.
Sell six sessions for one price, paid upfront. Clients book against the balance and pay nothing at booking time. Refund the sessions they never used, to the paise.
Put several people behind one meeting type. Guests see everyone’s combined availability, and each booking goes to whoever has gone longest without one — only ever to someone genuinely free.
A numbered invoice for every paid booking, with the tax split worked out and stated honestly when the place of supply is unknown.
Sign up with an email address or with Google. You get a working page and two starter meeting types immediately — change the hours later, or never.
Merryhive is built around one person and one link, with teams layered on top of that rather than designed around it. There is no shared team inbox and no company-wide admin — every booking belongs to one person, on purpose.
