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

Service Set-Up Overview

  1. Click on Settings

  2. Click on Appointments

  3. Click on Services

  4. Click on Add Service

  5. Input the Appointment Name & Description, then click Create.

  6. Select an accent color

  7. Enter your appointment instructions.

  8. Choose your duration (length of event) and Interval (the time required between events)

  9. Set your Default Available hours (when the customer can schedule)


1. Click on Settings

2. Click on Appointments

3. Click on Services

4. Click on Add Service

5. Input the Appointment name & description, then click Create.


6. Select an accent color. This color is used on the booking page, so we recommend you select a color that is aligned with your brand experience.

Below is an example of what a customer booking this service would see if you selected the accent color "Iris"

7. Enter your appointment description & instructions. These details help your customers to best prepare for the appointment.

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.
