Which should I choose?

If you rent a space by time and prefer pricing by number of products rather than by booking revenue, Booker fits. If you run staffed or virtual appointments and want revenue-based plans, Cowlendar covers more of that.

Do both take payment on Shopify?

Yes. Both run booking and payment through your Shopify checkout, as of their July 2026 listings.
