More than just software

Special deals for community venues. We negotiate on your behalf — LemonBooking customers pay lower SumUp transaction fees in Australia.

Lower transaction fees
Xero
Certified app partner

Your bookings, straight into Xero.

LemonBooking is a certified Xero integration — the same ledger most community organisations here already keep their books in. Invoices, credit notes, customers and payments sync both ways, so nobody types a booking in twice at the end of the month. QuickBooks works the same way.

Tax invoices with GST Payments reconciled automatically Discounted Xero subscriptions

Three things you need. One place to do them.

A booking system, a website for your venue and event ticketing, all from one login. Over 600 community centres, community halls and sports facilities manage their bookings, websites and events with LemonBooking.

Real-time calendar updates. No double bookings.

Every booking appears on one shared calendar the moment it's made, and two groups can't book the same space at the same time. Customers, volunteers and staff all see the same information, with print options for caretakers/cleaners.

Booking clashes caught.
Two groups can't book the same hall, kitchen or car park at once — and the system will suggest alternatives for them instead.
Self-service for customers.
Customers check availability and request a slot online, any time of day — you approve in a click, or have the system do it automatically.
Recurring bookings, handled.
Set up a weekly class or a monthly meet-up, and your regulars keep their slot — without the hassle of re-booking each time.

Customer reviews from Trustpilot

5 out of 5 stars · customer review on Trustpilot

“The team at LemonBooking have been really attentive as we made the transition to this new system. Previously we ran Hallmaster for bookings, Wix for the website, Trybooking for events and standalone Xero for accounts. The LemonBooking system has allowed us to automate so much through its integrations and the user experience for both hirers and staff is so much better.”

Frequently asked questions

Anything we haven't covered, drop us a line.

Who is LemonBooking for?

Venues that hire out space: community centres and community halls, sports facilities, church halls, meeting and conference rooms, libraries, dance studios, parks and council-run buildings. All solutions

Can we try it before we commit?

Yes. There is a 30-day free trial of the whole system, with no card required and no set-up fees. We set the system up with you first, so nobody starts at a blank screen. At the end of the trial you choose a plan or walk away.

Do we need someone technical to run it?

No. LemonBooking is built for committees, committee members and small teams rather than for technicians. Separate roles let two or three people share the bookings without anyone needing technical knowledge, and support is included in every plan.

Can we import our existing data?

Yes, and we do it for you as part of setting the system up. Customer records and forward bookings come across from wherever you keep them now: another booking system, a spreadsheet, or a shared calendar.

How much does it cost?

There are three plans, billed annually, and every one of them includes a website, booking calendar, online payments and your first eight facilities. There are no set-up fees. The pricing page has the current figures for your region and a calculator that works out an exact price.
