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