01 / THE CHALLENGE
The problem worth solving.
Appointment lengths, office locations, payments, and calendar updates must stay consistent. Two people choosing overlapping time slots—or a delayed payment webhook—can create a real scheduling problem.
02 / THE SOLUTION
How it comes together.
A Django website pairs public service information with a native booking calendar and a private staff schedule. Clients can select appointment payment or online Stripe Checkout. Confirmation email, calendar invitations, and Google Calendar synchronization carry the reservation into the practitioner’s daily workflow.

03 / ENGINEERING DECISIONS
The details make the difference.
Reconcile payment state
Verified Stripe events and reconciliation handle delayed or missing responses. Slot holds are not released solely because a browser timer expires.
Preserve what was booked
Appointments retain their original office assignment and charged price even when the service catalog or weekly schedule changes.
04 / WHAT IT DELIVERS
From the idea to the experience.
An implemented booking system with service administration, variable appointment lengths, office-specific availability, payment choices, and retryable calendar and email operations.
