11. Scheduling time interval

Let's say you offer a service that lasts for two hours. However, this doesn't mean that customers should be restricted to specific time slots, such as 9 am -11 am , 11 am -1 pm , 1 pm -3 pm , and so on, when making appointments. They should have the freedom to schedule appointments at any time, even in fractional intervals like 9:30 or 9:15, without being restricted to strict two -hour divisions of your schedule.

This is why we have the scheduling interval option where you can set how to split your time. The above image shows the time is split into 15-minute intervals. N ote that this division does not imply that the service duration is only 15 minutes. Instead, it allows for more versatile time options, enabling customers to choose specific time slots within the overall two -hour service duration.

To set this:

1. Click Services, select the required service, then click Service Preferences.

2. Under the General section, click the edit icon next to Scheduling Interval. You can set it in minutes or hours. Click Save. On the booking page, you can see that your time is divided accordingly.

Please note that each service can have different scheduling intervals.

12.  Booking form - show/hide/mandatory

Once the customer selects the slot, a booking form will be shown where they can enter their details. You can include additional fields as needed. Bookings support seven types of fields.

1. Single line: For short answers

2. Multi-line: For multiple lines of info (works well with questions like, "Do you have any special instructions?")

3. Alternative email address: Enables customers to add another email address

4. Checkbox: Enables customers to choose multiple options

5. Dropdown: Ensures customers choose only one option from a list

6. Radio button: Allows customers to choose a single option

7. Date: Gives customers the ability to choose a date

To customize this:

1. Click Services, then click Service Booking Form.

14. Terms and conditions
