Online booking

Online booking is a great tool to your salon as it allows customers to make reservations independently, wherever and whenever.

Online booking makes it possible for salons not to have to wait by the phone or email for reservations, but they can focus only on what is essential - i.e. offering the best hair, beauty and wellness services to their customers.


Online booking link

To find the salons online booking link go to Company > Information.

If you want the embedded online booking link for your website click "Embed". You can now see the iFrame code which you can copy.

If you need help with embedding the code please contact our Customer Happiness team.

The visibility of a user in online booking

The user can be hidden from the online booking without having to delete the user.

Go to Profile > Information > Hide from Online booking.

If there is no check in the box, the user is visible in the online booking. Please note that the services and working hours have to be set for the user first.


Services

Go to Services > User services.

Choose the right user and click on all the services you want to show in the online booking. The settings are user-specific.

When everything is ready, click "Save changes" at the bottom of the page.

All services are visible in the online appointment booking, even if they are hidden - see the box for "Online". In this case, the customer will see the text: "This service is only bookable through the salon. Book this service by calling to the salon."

You might have services for internal use or services that you don't want to be available for online booking. If you want to hide some service from the online booking it must be done from the Services > Service list. Choose the right service and click "edit". Then choose "Hide from Online booking".
