Bookings & Commerce

Design and launch bookings, payments and online orders on one Azure‑hosted platform.

Bring your bookings and commerce together in Hixel — Hexonova’s flagship platform — and run them in an AI‑enabled environment hosted on Microsoft Azure Australia East.

What this service is

Bookings & Commerce is a Hexonova implementation service delivered on Hixel. We work with you to define, configure and deploy booking, payment and online ordering capabilities using Hixel’s native features and integrated third‑party services where required, so you can run customer interactions and transactions in one place alongside Hixel’s AI marketing, website, commerce and CRM tools.

Scope and specific workflows are established during design and implemented using Hixel and supporting services. All configurations and operational procedures are documented for your team.

Who it’s for

This service is designed for organisations that want to:

Offer bookings and take payments with a streamlined, integrated setup
Manage online orders alongside their website and CRM
Operate in a scalable cloud environment on Microsoft Azure

Hexonova supports a wide range of industries, including government, healthcare, financial services and education.

The problems it solves

Fragmented systems: Can help reduce tool sprawl by consolidating booking, payment and ordering flows on Hixel with supported integrations
Manual handling: Helps reduce repetitive admin by centralising transactions and customer data
Growth barriers: Establish a scalable, cloud‑based foundation that can support increasing demand
Data protection and compliance concerns: Operate in an Australian‑hosted environment on Microsoft Azure, supported by Hexonova’s cloud security operations

How it works

We deliver Bookings & Commerce as an end‑to‑end engagement:

Discovery and design: Clarify your booking, payment and order requirements and map them to Hixel and any required integrations
Configuration and build: Implement agreed workflows using Hixel’s website, commerce and CRM capabilities, and selected third‑party services where needed
Validation and go‑live: Test, document and deploy your solution
Operate and evolve: Monitor in Azure and iterate as your needs grow, backed by Hexonova’s cloud security operations

Defining your bookings

During solution design we work with you to establish how bookings should operate and then implement the agreed approach using Hixel and/or integrated booking providers. This may include determining:

Scheduling windows and time zones
Resources and capacity (e.g., locations, rooms, equipment, staff)
Availability rules, lead times and blackout periods
Customer‑initiated changes (cancellations and rescheduling) and related policies
Notifications and reminders for customers and staff
Any approval or moderation flows required

Implementation details depend on the capabilities of the selected booking solution. We configure supported rules and communications, integrate required services, and document any manual steps so they’re clear and repeatable.

Payments and financial flows

We work with your team to define the payment and settlement approach you choose and implement it within your Hixel solution using supported payment providers and integrations. Hexonova does not provide financial, legal or tax advice.

As part of this, we define and document:

Payment provider selection and integration (as required by your organisation)
Authentication and customer experience requirements
Operational processes for refunds, chargebacks and dispute handling
Reconciliation and settlement workflows

Supported gateways and features (for example, specific authentication requirements or refund capabilities) depend on the chosen provider and configuration. These choices are confirmed during design and captured in your operational runbooks.

Hexonova is not a payment processor. Cardholder data is handled by the selected third‑party payment gateway(s). Responsibilities for PCI DSS compliance depend on your organisation’s role, the chosen payment provider, and the services and integrations in scope. Hexonova configures supported integrations and documents processes within Hixel; your organisation should confirm compliance obligations with your payment provider and advisors.

Online orders and fulfillment

For online orders, we configure the structures and processes you need and document how they operate using Hixel’s commerce capabilities and/or integrations where required. This includes:

Catalog and product structures
Pricing, discounts and taxes
Shipping and fulfillment options, and the calculation approach (e.g., carrier integrations or predefined rates) where supported
Order statuses and communications
Returns and refunds processes, subject to the capabilities of the selected platform and policies
Integrations required for logistics or accounting (where specified)

Your order lifecycle is defined end‑to‑end to support a consistent experience for customers and staff, with platform features and integrations aligned to your requirements.
