After an initial phone consultation with her clients, Sarah will send out an email to book their appointments. Once they have done that, clients will receive a link to purchase their consultation package through Pocketbook.

Recognising the benefits of automating basic operational tasks, Sarah decided to use the Pocketbook plug-in with her second e-commerce venture — Easy Peasy Sleepytime. Easy Peasy Sleepytime provides high quality videos that addresses common sleep challenges experienced by parents. Parents gain unlimited access to these videos by purchasing a lifetime membership.

“It was the capability to accept online payments with lower fees that first caught my attention about Pocketbook. The app is straightforward and user-friendly. I’m able to track and view secured payments from my clients on my mobile. Also, the payments are released on a weekly basis with a summary report. The team is helpful, responsive and I felt supported 👏🏻👏🏻 I’m now looking forward to explore more optimisation and automation for my growing business with the team.” – Sarah Ong, Founder of Sleep Champ Baby
