   1. Click the edit icon against the selected preset.

   Show time zone in Booking Page - When this option is checked, the time zone field shows up in the Booking Page. Unchecking this option will remove the time zone field from the Booking Page.

   
   

   Lock time zone in Booking Page - When this option is checked, the time zone field shows up in the Booking Page but is disabled for further updates.

1.   Below are the available Time Zone Presets:

   • Customer's local time - This preset automatically detects the time zone of the customer and displays the booking slots based on the Customer's local time.
     
     

     
     
     
     
     
     
     
   • Business time zone - This preset allows you to enforce the business time zone as the only available time zone on the Booking Page, irrespective of the Customer's location.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
   • Specific time zone - This preset allows you to enforce a specific time zone as the only available time zone on the Booking Page, irrespective of the Customer's location.
     
     
     
     You can choose a required time zone from the list of available timezones.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

         3. Choose the required preferences for each time zone preset and click Save. The changes will reflect in the booking page.
   
   

Booking Confirmation Page

This is the page that will be displayed to customers once an appointment is booked or rescheduled.



The Appointment Summary page

This is displayed to customers by default with a Book another appointment button.

To remove the button or edit the text on it:

1. Click the edit icon.



2. A pop-up appears, containing options to display or remove the Book another appointment button. It also provides a text box to customize the button text. Edit the button text and click Save.
 

3. The custom button text is reflected on the booking summary page.

Note: Unchecking Show 'Book another appointment' button on booking page removes it from the booking page.

Custom URL Redirection

Note: Redirecting customers to a custom URL on booking confirmation is available with all paid plans of Zoho Bookings.

You can override the default Booking Summary page and redirect customers to a custom URL or page when they book or reschedule appointments.

1. Click the edit icon and select Show your own confirmation page.

2. Enter the URL of the page you want to redirect customers.

3. Additionally check the Pass booking details to confirmation page option to pass booking details and UTM parameters to your page.

Note: UTM parameters can help gauge your booking page's effectiveness. Learn how.

Assume that you have embedded the booking page on a website (say, Twitter). And you would want to track the source for your campaign (say, 'user-adoption'), you can append UTM parameters to your page (say https://www.zylker.com.thankyoupage) like the below.

https://www.zylker.com.thankyoupage?utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=user-adoption
