WhatsApp booking system for businesses in France — replies in French, books the rendez-vous

Customers message the number they already use. The AI answers in French or English, offers only the créneaux that are really free, books the rendez-vous and sends the reminder — flat price, 0% commission, no per-employee fee.

In France the rendez-vous is increasingly taken on WhatsApp: at the coiffeur, the institut de beauté, the cabinet dentaire, the kiné, the garage or the auto-école. The message is not the problem — the problem is that someone has to stop to read it, look at the agenda, reply and note the appointment. Many arrive in the evening with the shop closed, and by the next morning the slot has gone to whoever answered first.

Welqo installs an AI-run front desk on your own WhatsApp number. The customer writes in French, the assistant replies in French — in English if they wrote in English — consults the real agenda of the right person, offers only the slots that are truly available and books. Before a long or high-value service it can ask for an acompte that lands directly in your own payment account. The day before and two hours before, the reminder goes out on its own; on a cancellation, the freed slot is offered to your waiting list. Your team works from a single agenda, synced both ways with Google Calendar.

What makes it viable for a small business is the price: a fixed subscription, 0% commission on the appointment, no cost per employee and no markup on your messages. The free plan is the complete front desk — bookings, reminders, deposits, recovery of missed appointments, waiting list and your customer file — for up to 50 appointments and 100 broadcasts a month, with no bank card. Paid plans start at 15 US dollars a month. Your customer file belongs to you and can be exported on every plan, and most businesses connect their number and are operational the same day, without an agency.

Frequently asked questions

Does the assistant reply in French?

Yes, automatically. It detects the language of each message and replies in it — French, English or one of 40+ languages — with no setting and no menu for the customer.

Do I need an agency or the WhatsApp Business API?

No. You connect your own number in a few minutes via Meta’s official sign-up, with no developer and no installation fee. Most businesses are operational the same day.

Where does the acompte paid by the customer go?

Straight to your own payment account, which you connect yourself. The money never transits through Welqo, and the commission is 0% on every plan.

Is my customer file locked in?

No. The file, notes and history belong to you and can be exported as CSV on every plan. Your WhatsApp number remains yours.

How much does it cost?

Free for up to 50 appointments and 100 broadcasts a month, reminders, deposits and waiting list included, with no bank card. Paid plans start at 15 US dollars a month, a fixed price per business — never a percentage of your appointments.
