Online appointment booking
Bridal consults, VIP sessions plus bridesmaid and mother of the bride appointments with deposits and reminders.
Bridal shop software: appointments, fittings & gown orders
Bridal shops: every bride on schedule. Say yes, skip the chaos.
Appointments get booked over Instagram DMs at 11pm, gown orders live in a handwritten book and fittings get squeezed in the week before the wedding. We build booking, order and fitting systems for bridal boutiques that count back from the wedding date. Then we host them and look after them.
Looking for bridal shop software that handles appointments, gown orders and fittings?
A bridal boutique runs on deadlines nobody else can see. Every gown has a wedding date behind it, a designer lead time in front of it and two or three fittings somewhere in the middle. Most boutiques keep all of that in an appointment app, an order book, a pile of designer emails and the owner's memory. Miss one order date and you're paying for express shipping or rush alterations.
Wollopit builds custom bridal shop software around how your boutique actually works. Brides book their own appointments and answer the important questions before they arrive. Gowns they love go onto a wishlist from your real range. Orders are tracked from designer to rack and fittings are planned back from the wedding date so nothing lands too late. We connect the tools you already like and look after the lot on our own servers.

03The systems
The big ones
Your whole boutique, on one system.
These are the systems bridal boutiques ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.
Appointment booking
Brides book themselves. You know them before they arrive.
Brides pick a consult type and time online, pay a booking deposit and fill in a quick questionnaire. By the time she walks in, her stylist already knows her date, her budget and the styles she's been saving.

- SMS and email reminders
- Easy reschedule links

Gown wishlists

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your bridal boutique: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We sit in on a busy Saturday, flick through your order book and work out where brides and dates are slipping through the cracks.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your appointment types, designers, lead times, fittings, payments, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win before wedding season.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things bridal shops ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can brides see their order status?
Yes. Each bride gets a simple portal showing where her gown is, her fitting dates and what she still owes. Fewer 'where's my dress' calls for you.
Can it tell us when to order a gown?
Yes. Add each designer's lead time and the wedding date and it works out the order-by date. Then it alerts you before that date passes.
Can bridesmaids book and pay separately?
Yes. The bride gets a group link. Each bridesmaid books, adds her measurements and pays her own share, all tracked against one party order.
We already use a booking app or BridalLive. Do we have to switch?
No. If what you use is doing its job, we build around it and fill the gaps. If it's holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
Does it work with our POS and accounting?
Yes. We connect to Square, Lightspeed or Shopify POS and send payments and invoices to Xero or MYOB.
How much does a bridal shop system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller jobs like online booking or a fitting planner can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early, ideally before your busy season.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most bridal shops we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
