Where to find it
Settings › Calendars › Services › + New Service
Step by step
1. Create the service
- In the left menu, open Settings and click Calendars.
- At the top, open the Services tab.
- Click + New Service (top right).
- Fill in the basic details:
- Service image (optional).
- Name clients will see (for example, "Facial").
- Color, to spot it on the calendar.
- Category (if you don't pick one, it goes in the default category).
- Custom URL, if you want a dedicated link for the service.
- A short description of what's included.
- Staff members who provide the service. At least one is required, or the service can't be booked.
- Duration.
- If only your team should book this service, turn on Private Service: it no longer appears on the public page.
2. Fine-tune timing and price
- Click Advanced Settings.
- Check the duration and, if needed, add buffer time before or after (prep, cleanup).
- If the service has a waiting phase (for example, product processing time), use Processing Time: it splits the duration into initial, processing and final phases. During processing, the staff member is free for other bookings.
- Under Price, enter what the client pays.
- To take only a deposit, turn on Partial Payments and choose a fixed amount or a percentage.
3. Variations (optional)
- Turn on Variations to offer several options within the same service.
- For each variation, enter the name, duration, price and processing time (if any). For example: 30 min, 45 min and 60 min, each with its own price.
4. Save and preview
- Click Save Changes.
- Click View Booking Page to see the service the way clients do.
Tips
- Use categories to group services (for example, "Face" and "Body"). Create them with + New Category and drag them to change the order on the booking page.
- Use add-ons to sell optional extras and resources for rooms or equipment that can't be used by two bookings at once.
- To copy a similar service, use the three-dot menu › Duplicate.
Common problems
- The service doesn't show on the booking page → Make sure at least one staff member is assigned and it isn't set as Private Service.
- The service shows no time slots → The assigned staff have no working hours set, or their schedule is full. Review each staff member's availability.
- I can't turn on partial payments → No payment provider is connected yet. Connect one in Payments › Integrations.
