Understanding Services
Services are essentially types of Appointments. You can create services with default settings to ensure alignment between the customer's expectations and the in-store appointment experience. The service will have default settings that dictate when and how it can be booked by customers.
Example Services
Alteration Appointment: 30 minutes, instructions to bring selected shoes, and requires 24 hours notice.
Personal Styling Session: 15 minutes, no minimum notice required during business hours

8. Set-up the default service settings.
Duration: This is the length of the appointment. If you select multiple options, the customer will be able to choose the duration they prefer.
Buffer: This is the required time before and after appointments. This can be helpful if store associates need time to prep or clean-up before attending to a subsequent appointment.
Minimum Notice: This is the required hours in advance an appointment can be booked. For example, if you set this to 2 hours, a customer could book an appointment as soon as 2 hours away.
9. Set the Default Available hours for the service.
Note: When you create booking links, they can use all of the above service default settings or override these settings. For that reason, we recommend you set-up your services with the most commonly used settings.
