Appointments Step 2: Creating Service Types

Article 2/3

A service type is the offering you wish to make available for booking. This article will cover:

1. Creating a service type
2. Sharing a dedicated link to book a service type

Once you are done with this article, head over to Appointments Step 3: Setting Availability

Step 1

• Navigate to Products & Services > Appointment Service Types.

  

• Click the Yellow "+" button in the top right-hand corner

  ​

  
  

  

• Note: You must create a service type for each interval someone can book. E.g., If someone can book a sauna for 15mins and for 30mins, then you must create 2 service types, one for each interval.

Step 2

• Enter a name and a category

  You can create a category by typing and then clicking Create

  
  

  • Note: Appointment categories are mutually exclusive from Class categories

    Enter additional information about the Service Type

    
    

  • 

    Enter a service provider

    
    
  • A service provider is either a Room or a Person
  • If your facility is set up in a way where you restrict the number of people that can book a room, the room MUST be the service provider. For example, if your room has a sauna and a cold plunge, that room must be the service provider so that if someone has booked the cold plunge, the sauna is no longer available at that time
  • You may enter a pay rate: this is the % the instructor receives from the price of the service type

  • If the provider is a person that works at multiple locations, make sure to add their location - if they offer the service at multiple locations, their name should be added as a new row for each location

    Add the max # of people that can book the service type at the same time

    
    
    • Note: If you list 10 trainers and each has a max of 1, that means all 10 trainers could have a client at the same time.

  • 

Step 3

• Add settings for the service type
• You may add a buffer before and/or after the appointment. This is good if you need to clean something or want to avoid back-to-back appointments

• 

Step 4

• Upload a picture!
• The picture is visible to clients and helps improve the look of your website

Step 5

• Publish and save
• Make sure to toggle off "Hidden on Profile" so clients can see and book it. If you don't want the general public booking appointments, you can toggle it off
• If you want people to book a specific trainer- toggle off the setting. If you don't want people to know who they are training with- toggle it on

• 

Step 6

• Share a link to a specific appointment

• Go to Schedule & Programming > Availability

  
  

  

• Click "Scheduling Links"

  Choose the appropriate info, which will create a dedicated link

  
  
  • Level: If you want everything to be available choose the studio, otherwise choose a specific service provider
  • Next, choose the location, then the appointment category, and finally service type
  • Click the "Test" button to see how the link will look to a client
  • Then click copy and go share it!
