How to create schedules for services

In our system it is possible to set schedules for each service. In order to do this, follow the next steps:

2. Then in Manage // Services click on "Service schedule" tab and set schedule for each service.

3. Choose "Class schedule" tab on the newly created class and switch on the option "Do you want to set service on special days only?"
4. Then use the calendar, click on the dates that you want to open and set the schedule for these dates by moving the sliders(bright blue zone is open time).




How events(classes) work


The general logic of event(class) is creating Service + Provider related to it with dates selected in the settings of the event(class) as special days. When you use Classes custom feature the event creates service+provider related to it with identical name. In order to preserve proper functioning of the event on the dates needed, you should not delete provider with identical name related to event (but you can easily change his/her name) and should not disconnect provider from the event.

Recurring services(packs)



You can create recurring services and enable your clients to book a particular amount of sessions.

How to create recurring service:

1. Go to Manage // Services // "Time details" tab on the needed service.
2. Enable "Make service recurring (pack)?" there

4. Choose when your service will repeat. Select "Repeat weekly (please select week days)" and day/days of the week (e.g Mondays) when your service occurs.
If you need more specific intervals, you can choose "Or repeat each" and set your service to reoccur every 14 days, for example.
5. Choose the mode for the bookings. Available modes:
Not allow - not allow recurring bookings if one of dates in between unavailable (Using the example below, if 15th is busy, the system will not allow to book 1st and 8th, only days after busy day).
Book only on available date - only book on available dates and skip unavailable dates (Using the example below, if 15th is busy, the system will allow you to book 1st and 8th and 22nd (only 3 out of 4).
Add appointments - book on all available dates and add dates behind for unavailable in between dates (Using the example below, if 15th is busy, the system will book 1 and 8th and 22nd + 1 day instead of busy 15th, which is August 29th).
6. Set the number of times your service will repeat in "Repeat count".
Example: If you set up Mondays and repeat count 4, when clients book this service from booking page, they will book 4 Mondays at once.

Please note!

  • If you make the recurring service paid, the amount that you set as the service price is the total for all the sessions.

It is currently not possible to set single session price for the recurring service packs.
That is why if you have single service and decide to make a recurring booking for it from the admin side/POS interface, its price will not be multiplied by the number of selected sessions.

  • It is not possible to reschedule bookings related to recurring batch with Client rescheduling feature.
  • When a client books a service set as recurring with a certain amount of sessions, the number of bookings that are created at one go equals the number of sessions you have set for such service.
