How to create a free online appointment schedule in Peru
If you arrange appointments over WhatsApp, share a link with your services and available times. FanPay offers free templates for psychologists, dentists, lawyers and other professionals. This guide covers the setup wizard, an example schedule and what to check when clients cannot find a time.

1. Create your professional profile
Sign in with Google, create your page and choose an available name and address. Select a professional profile with appointments. The wizard takes you through your profile, contacts, style, services, hours, payments and final review.
Choose your profession and describe your services and location. Add the contact details you want to make public, keeping clinical information outside FanPay. If you already have a page, the wizard prepares a draft without replacing the published page until you confirm. Clients do not need a Google account to book.
2. Adjust your template's services
Review names, duration, preparation and breaks. The psychologist template starts with 50-minute sessions and 10-minute breaks; the lawyer template has a 45-minute consultation with a 15-minute break; the dentist template offers 30-minute consultations and 15 minutes between patients. The general template starts with a 60-minute consultation.
These are configuration examples, not clinical recommendations or professional standards. Set durations and formats to match your work. Prices are optional if you prefer to arrange them directly. After publishing, manage them in 1:1 sessions → My services.
3. Set availability, breaks and busy times
Review working days and time windows. Separate morning and afternoon to leave out lunch. New agendas use Peru · Lima (America/Lima); choose a different time zone explicitly if needed. After publishing, these settings are under 1:1 sessions → Availability.
For example, 50-minute sessions with 10-minute breaks and starts every 60 minutes allow appointments at 09:00, 10:00, 11:00 and 12:00 in a 09:00–13:00 window, provided no bookings, blocks or other restrictions apply. Breaks are part of the occupied time.
Block exceptions such as meetings or time off, and enter appointments arranged by phone or WhatsApp. Recording them elsewhere is not enough unless the relevant Google Calendar is connected. Keep availability accurate before sharing the link.
4. Decide whether to require a payment receipt
Accept bookings without receipts, allow an optional image or require a receipt. When email verification is enabled, clients first verify their email. A required receipt then puts the request in pending approval; otherwise the booking is confirmed. An optional attachment does not require approval.
If you request a deposit, display Yape or Plin details and clear instructions. Clients pay outside FanPay and upload a JPG or PNG. FanPay does not collect or verify transfers: check payment yourself before approving. A screenshot alone does not prove payment.
5. Choose whether to connect Google Calendar
The agenda works without Google Calendar. When the integration is enabled, connect it from your availability settings and authorize it separately. Signing in with Google does not grant calendar access.
FanPay checks busy periods in your primary calendar and exports confirmed appointments to a separate FanPay calendar without client names, contacts or receipts. Export can await synchronization; check its status in the panel.
Reschedule and cancel in FanPay. Editing a Google event does not change the booking. No invitations or video calls are created. Disconnecting preserves FanPay appointments and leaves previously exported Google events in place.
6. Publish and check the client experience
Review and publish your profile to activate appointments. The profile and booking feature are enabled together. Open the public address in another browser or on your phone and check services, availability and conditions before sharing it.
Share fanpay.pe/yourname on WhatsApp, in your Instagram bio or on business cards. Use a clear invitation such as ‘Choose a service and book an available time’. Your agenda, contact information and links can share one page.
Under 1:1 sessions → Bookings, review requests and private receipts, cancel, reschedule or add appointments manually. Clients use the browser where they booked; when email is enabled they also receive verification and status links. Scheduled reminders are not included. Do not request diagnoses or sensitive documents: FanPay is neither a medical record nor an emergency service.
7. If no available times appear
A published page does not guarantee availability on every date. Check the following before asking a client to try again:
- Use a professional profile with bookings enabled, and save and publish relevant changes.
- Make sure an active service and working time window exist on the chosen day. Duration, preparation and breaks must fit.
- Check the time zone, minimum notice and how many days ahead clients can book.
- Review existing appointments, blocked periods and busy times in your connected Google primary calendar.
- If Google Calendar needs attention, reconnect or disconnect it from the panel. Times are not offered as free when that calendar cannot be checked.
Frequently asked questions
Can I create a free appointment schedule for my practice?
Yes. Create a professional profile, apply a template and receive bookings for free. The current version offers one agenda per profile, without team access, medical records or multiple agendas in a single profile.
Can I accept appointments without requiring payment?
Yes. Prices and receipts are optional. Without a required receipt, the booking is confirmed after the required email verification, when enabled. FanPay does not charge the client.
Does it synchronize with Google Calendar?
Optionally, when the integration is enabled. Authorize it separately to check busy times in your primary calendar and export confirmed appointments without personal client data. Changes made directly in Google do not change FanPay bookings.
Does the client receive a booking email?
When email is enabled, the client receives a verification link, followed by a pending approval or confirmed booking message. These are booking messages, not scheduled appointment reminders.
