Multi-Staff Booking & Staff-Selection Scheduler
The Opportunity
An appointment-booking app for Shopify stores that lets customers choose a specific staff member during checkout or booking. It would support service businesses like spas, salons, clinics, and studios that need staff-specific scheduling and capacity control.
"Merchants offering services need customers to book with a particular staff member, but most Shopify booking setups do not make staff selection simple or flexible enough."
