Good Interface, Difficult to Get Started
The interface is good and aesthetically pleasing. Onboarding wasn't helpful at all and navigating how to create my own smart files has been all trial and error.

Honeybook is so easy to use and learn because it’s a minimal platform that tackles major processes. With honeybook you are the admin team AND if you have a team, co-op works like a breeze with the assign teammate functions. Organization and adaptability is the key to everything in the service.

HB helps me keep all our wedding events in order, all our communication documented, and contracts electronically signed. The Miller Gardens would not be able to electronically manage as many clients, inquiries and service requests without HONEYBOOK.

Honeybook is super easy to use, great (and fast) customer service for me as the user. I love that everything is super organized and customizable to my type of business.

Easy to use and very thorough.

I recently added Honeybook invoicing to my account. After one payment, they told me they needed to do a fraud review before releasing more funds. I supplied the information on March 8, 2023 and was told it would take 5-7 business days before they could release the funds. It's now March 28, 2023 and my money hasn't been released. I've sent email after email, tried connecting with them on their chat and called them. The emails go unanswered, no one responds to the chat and when you get into their phone queue, they hang up on you. My advice, don't trust this company with your payments!

Hey Mark, Monica here from the HoneyBook Support Team! Oz let me know you had some feedback about the account verification process and wait time. I'm very sorry for the wait time in getting your account verified. This process is ultimately designed to preserve the security of the platform and we appreciate your patience and cooperation. We want to ensure that we're conducting our reviews in a timely manner and appreciate feedback. We will fully investigate the delay. I believe you've been in contact with Hannah from our Payments Team and she let you know that your account has now been verified and your money has been pushed to your account. If you have any follow up questions about this, feel free to reach back out to her. All the best, Monica

The onboarding was fairly smooth but the invoicing process has been frustrating and not transparent. The invoice was marked "paid" by my client 10 days ago, but no money has been received in my bank account despite the fact that the funds have left my client's bank. This should not take this long for a bank transfer, and the estimated date to deposit keeps changing on my Honeybook interface... To make it worse, it's been 24 hours, and still, no ability to talk to a live person at the company about the issue.

I'm sorry to hear about the frustration around invoicing! First, I would ensure that your bank account details are set up properly and there are no missing pieces on your bank details page (company settings > bank details). Second, card payments take 1-3 business days while bank transfer/ACH payments take 7-8 business days to be deposited. If the number of business days has passed and you still aren't seeing your payment, I would suggest reaching out to our team directly from inside your account. Be sure you are logged in to your account first so that our team can see you are a member and are logged in, then click the ? icon in the bottom corner and select "Message Us" to live chat in. Live chatting in typically goes quicker than emailing in to our team!

When I started with Honeybook I had only a few clients 1-1 support and Honeybook was quick and easy to use. As I have grown, and added many clients and services, I've worked tirelessly to get the platform to fit the needs of my growing business. When they added Smartfiles, I was very hopeful. I have a beautiful brochure and invoice combo. But, I can't share it with a bulk email. It makes sense to use Honeybook for a handful of clients. It is not good for large groups of clients. I don't even know why they allow an upload of hundreds of contacts.

At this time, all smart files need to be shared individually with each client. They weren't created to mass send to clients at this time. But our team is actively working on a file type that will allow you to share a smart file template via a link, publicly! So, very soon here, you can send a smart file template to many folks at once, similar to our contact form. Keep a look out in the next month or so for that update! We also very much value feedback from all our members so continue to reach out with your questions and feature requests to our concierge support team by logging in to your account and live chatting in via the ? icon in the bottom right corner! Just as you grow your business, HoneyBook is also growing and we want to try to incorporate as much as we can from the feedback we receive from our members!
