About Sesami

Sesami is the booking platform for Commerce. Sesami has a booking app on Shopify that helps you sell services (appointments, classes, rentals, tastings, etc.) directly from your storefront and manage availability across resources like team members, rooms, and equipment.

What Sesami helps you do

• Offer bookable services tied to Shopify products (so everything stays connected to your store)

• Control availability by resources and rules (buffers, booking windows, block-offs)

• Reduce back-and-forth with automated confirmations, reminders, and calendar events

• Support different booking experiences, including in-store and POS-assisted flows

How it fits into Shopify

Sesami works alongside Shopify (customers, products, orders). Depending on your setup, bookings can be:

• Booked without requiring Shopify checkout, or

• Booked with Shopify checkout / order creation (useful when you want payment captured online or tracked as an order)

Key concepts (quick definitions)

• Service: what the customer books (often a Shopify product)

• Resource: anything required to fulfill the service (a team member, room, machine, etc.)

• Resource type: the category of a resource (e.g., “Team member”, “Room”, “Equipment”)
