Treatwell

Before you call either
Tock
- Don't plan to call Tock from another agent. Hand the booking to the person on exploretock.com or in the Resy app
- Do not script the Tock website, which the Terms of Use forbid. A venue wanting data should ask Tock through its dashboard account
- Check status.exploretock.com when a Tock confirmation SMS or checkout fails, since both had outages in September and October 2026
Treatwell
- Hand the final booking to the person unless Treatwell has approved an integration.
- Check the selected venue’s cancellation deadline and payment option.
