Take Bookings Without the Back-and-Forth
No more trading messages to find a time. Set your weekly availability once, and clients book a paid slot that already fits your calendar.
What You Will Learn
- Set the hours you're open for bookings
- Add a booking option with duration, buffer, and location
- Collect what you need before the session starts
- Set fair reschedule and cancellation rules
Step 1: Set your availability
Open Services → Availability and add the weekly windows you're happy to take bookings in — say, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2pm to 6pm. This one schedule feeds every booking option you sell.
Step 2: Add a booking option
On the service, add a Booking option and set:
- Duration — how long the session runs.
- Buffer after — a breather blocked after each session before the next can start.
- How you meet — video call, phone, or in person, plus the details (a meeting link or address).
The meeting details stay private until the buyer pays — then they appear on the buyer's order, their confirmation email, and their calendar invite.
Step 3: Ask for what you need up front
Add intake questions to any option — a brief, a link, a goal. Buyers answer them at checkout, and the answers land right on the order and on their contact record, so you walk into the session prepared.
Step 4: Set your policies
Under advanced policy, decide:
- Cancellation window — how many hours before the session a client can still change or cancel for free.
- Refund within window — how much they get back when they cancel in time.
- Reschedules allowed — how many times a booking can move.
The page spells out each rule to the buyer in plain language, so there are no surprises on either side.
