No. Your clients do not need to install anything. They book entirely through WhatsApp by clicking your personal booking link or scanning your QR code. As long as they have WhatsApp, they're good to go.

Once confirmed, both you and the client receive a notification — and the appointment appears instantly on your app dashboard.
