Provided herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for scheduling services and other types of appointments in conjunction with purchasing and/or redeeming deal offers. Merchants may customize a scheduling system to provide scheduling capabilities and deal redemption capabilities to consumers interested in scheduling appointments. A consumer may use the scheduling system to select dates and times, merchant locations, and/or staff members, among other things, when scheduling appointments, and provide deal and/or other payment related information to the merchant. Merchants may use the scheduling system and consumer date received therefrom to track resources across numerous locations, keep apprised of their staffs' availability, receive/generate analytics data related to the affect deals have on their business, and gain a better understanding of their customers. The scheduling system may be integrated into the merchant's website and/or linked to deals offered by a third party promotional system.
