Set up bookings

Set up bookings takes you through everything clients need before they can book you. Each step saves as you go, so you can leave and pick up at the same step on any device.

It’s in the sidebar under Bookings once you’ve told us your business takes bookings. If you don’t see it, go to Settings, then Products, and switch Bookings on. If every product is on because you skipped choosing at sign-up, switch off the ones you don’t use. See the sidebar.

Who can do this: You need to be an owner, admin or manager to do this.

Keeping what the template filled in
