From “Can I book?” to a confirmed appointment
Give customers a booking button in your LINE chat. They choose a service, select an available time and complete payment through Stripe’s secure checkout.
Once payment is complete, their booking is confirmed. With your Official Account connected, the confirmation arrives in LINE.
No more exchanging messages to find a time or sending payment instructions separately.

Help me connect my accountEverything you need to manage your appointments
- Accept payment when customers book Collect card payments in Japanese yen before confirming an appointment. Payments go directly to your own Stripe account.
- Keep your calendar up to date Connect Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook. Existing commitments make those times unavailable for booking, and confirmed appointments are added to your calendar.

- Set a schedule that suits your business Choose your opening hours, allow preparation time between appointments and set daily booking limits. Automatically stop bookings on Japanese public holidays.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a LINE Official Account already? No. We’ll help you set one up for your business and connect it to Business Box. If you already have an account, we’ll help you use that one.
- Is the setup really free? Yes. There is no separate charge for our setup assistance. LINE booking and online payments require the Business Box paid plan at ¥1,200 per month, including tax.
- Do I need a Stripe account? Yes, to accept online payments. We’ll guide you through connecting an existing Stripe account or creating one. Stripe must approve your account before you can accept payments.
- Do customers need a Business Box account? No. Customers can book through LINE without creating a Business Box account.
- Will every notification arrive in LINE? Booking confirmations, changes and cancellations can be sent through your connected Official Account. Customers need to add the account as a friend to receive these messages. If LINE cannot deliver a notification, Business Box sends it by email instead. Appointment reminders are sent by email.
- Can several customers book places in the same group class? Business Box supports one booking per time slot. It suits individual appointments and private sessions; separate sign-ups for a shared group class are not supported.
