Services are a core part of the Booking system. Each service is one of the offerings you provide to your clients that they can book into the calendar for, such as a:
Driving lesson
Massage
First aid course
Service vs Product/Package
If you’d like to bundle a set of services into a package to offer the client (e.g. a pack of 10 driving lessons), please refer to the Creating a prepaid voucher or package article. In our system, these are created as a Product/Package, rather than a service. Once a client purchases the package, the prepaid vouchers within it will be used as payment when a client books that service in the calendar.
Services
You can create and manage services by navigating to Setup > Bookings > Services:
Courses - a type of service
Courses are also a ‘service’, but they can have extra features that can be set up in comparison to a standard service. These include multi-day courses or events, and allowing and managing multiple attendees to book in. Please refer to the Courses overview article for more details.
Service groups
Services may be logically grouped into different service groups for easier navigation for the client to find what they're looking for. The example below has Driving Lessons, Driving Test, and Driving Courses set up as different service groups. Please refer to the Setting up services article to create your services.
Once services and service groups are set up, you can also determine if you’d like any of these to appear publicly on your website (with content designed by you). For example, based on the following services and service groups above, the published ones (the ones with a black arrow icon in the left hand side of the box) will automatically display publicly as a left hand menu:
This is displaying published content from the Driving Lessons category, with the Manual Lesson and Automatic Lesson services appearing below it
This is displaying published content from the Driving Test category
This is displaying published content from the Driving Courses category
Please refer to the Setting up services article on how to publish your services and service groups.
