Create services and control online booking

Prepare the service list

Have service names, realistic appointment lengths, prices and the staff who can perform them ready. Confirm the business currency before entering prices.

Add or edit a service

1. Open Bookings → Services. Select the add action for a new service, or open the intended service to edit it.
2. Enter a clear customer-facing name. Use categories where available so customers can find related services.
3. Set the full time needed for the appointment. Do not enter only hands-on time if preparation is part of the booked slot.
4. Enter the price and review the currency. Check any fields controlling whether the service is active and available for online booking.
5. On this first form, set Requires salon confirmation if the salon must approve customer requests. Read booking approval before enabling it.
6. Select Next to open Select staff. Check the staff who can perform the service; only selected staff receive it. A service without available assigned staff may have no bookable times.
7. Save and reopen the service to confirm the values were retained.

Test the customer view

1. Open the public booking link and find the service.
2. Choose an assigned staff member and check a future date within business and staff hours.
3. For approval-required services, check that the customer understands the booking is a request awaiting the salon's decision.

If the service is missing

Check its active/online visibility, staff assignment and schedules before creating a duplicate. A staff-created booking remains scheduled even for an approval-required service. Changing a service does not mean every older booking has been rewritten; check an existing appointment before promising a change.
