How to set up online booking for your business
A practical, step-by-step walkthrough — from your first service to your first paid booking. Read it here or take it with you.
1. Define your services
List each service with a clear name, duration, and price. Keep the list short and scannable — you can always add more later. Add optional intake questions for anything you need to know before an appointment.
2. Set your hours
Add your weekly working hours and slot length. Block out breaks and days off, and if you have staff, give each person their own schedule so customers only see real availability.
3. Turn on payments
Connect your account to accept deposits or full payment at checkout. Requiring even a small deposit is the single most effective way to cut no-shows.
4. Share your page
Put your booking link in your Instagram bio, WhatsApp, and email signature, and embed the widget on your own site. You're also listed in the marketplace so new customers can find you.
5. Reduce no-shows
Turn on automatic reminders, set a clear cancellation policy, and use deposits. Together these typically cut no-shows by more than half within the first month.
