How do I configure the booking engine?

Online booking lets clients browse your packages, choose options, and complete their purchase without waiting for a custom quote. It's like having a shopping cart for your services that works 24/7.

Most businesses use online booking for their standard packages while still offering custom proposals for unique requests. This lets you capture bookings faster while reducing back-and-forth emails.

General Settings

These settings control how your booking page looks and behaves.

ManageBooking Engine
Go to General Settings.
Customize your header text or leave blank to hide it entirely.
Configure the key settings below based on your needs.

Header and Subheader

The header appears at the top of your booking page. The default is "Check Availability. Get a Quote. Secure Your Date." You can customize this text or leave it blank to hide the header completely.

Key Settings

  • Require phone number — Forces clients to provide a phone number during booking. Most businesses enable this for easier follow-up.
  • Show total before checkout — Displays a running total as clients select packages and add-ons. Recommended for transparency.
  • Show staff during booking — Lets clients choose or request a specific staff member. Useful if you have multiple team members.
  • Terms and conditions link — Shows a link to your terms before checkout. Required in some states.
  • Redirect URL — Where clients go after completing their booking. Leave blank to show the default thank-you page.
Enable "Show total before checkout" to reduce surprises at payment time. Clients prefer to see costs upfront.

Themes and Customization

You can customize the colors and layout of each step in the booking process. These design settings are saved as reusable themes, so you can create different looks for different brands or seasons.

Preview your booking page anytime by clicking the Preview button in the booking engine settings.
