I believe they do offer payments, although haven't dug into difficulty of setup. https://cal.com/resources/feature/payments

My team and I are about to launch Talk With Me[1] which would allow you to book video calls with people and accept payments for those sessions easily. You can claim your custom URL right now and we hope to launch in the next few days. Here's mine [2].

Would something like this fit your wife's use case? And aside from payments, what else are you dissatisfied with on Calendly that makes you want to switch? Thanks!

Did you build your own video streaming solution or something off the shelf?

We're using something off the shelf to get up and running quickly

https://www.100ms.live/

Don't put symbols in URLs that need to be communicated to other people.

I'd suggest registering TalkWithMe.com and using your talkw.me domain only as a shortener to redirect people to the main site.

Thanks for the feedback, we debated back and forth on letting people register the base path ie "/jose" but we didn't want the overlapping conflicts with any other pages we might have on the site. We also wanted the links to be short and sharable and having "talkw.me/jose/book" wasn't too appealing

And good call on the second thing ;)

Hey josh, cal.com does support paid events

Oh damn, didn't realise! Thanks for the heads up
