Introducing Booking Pages—a topping for your Calendar Scheduling needs!

Introducing Booking Pages—a topping for your Calendar Scheduling needs!

Greetings,

We're here with a new topping for Bigin! Let's dive into the details.

                          

What does this topping do? 

Scheduling appointments with customers is one of the most common challenges small businesses face on a daily basis, as it often involves frequent back and forth emails to arrive at mutually convenient time slots and then actually scheduling event on your calendar. How about an easier solution for this? Bigin's Booking Pages topping makes this exact process easier in three steps:
  1. Share your availability.
    You can share your availability on a public booking page, which you can embed on your website or share with customers as a link via email.

  2. Your customer books a slot.
    Your customer visits the booking page, looks at the available slots, and then books an appointment at their preferred time.

  3. The booking is added as an event or call to your Bigin calendar.
    The slot your customer books is automatically created as an event or a call in your Bigin calendar.
    Though there are lots of standalone scheduling tools in the market, integrating your calendar data into your CRM is a challenge.
    Bigin's Booking Pages save you from this hassle, since your customers' bookings go directly into your Bigin calendar.

How to get started with this enhancement/feature 

To get started, log in to your Bigin account and go to Settings > Toppings. You can manage the Booking Pages topping from there.
After installation, click the Create a Booking Page button and choose a page type between—either a one-on-one or group meeting.

In the subsequent steps, you can provide basic details about your service, specify your availability, and add fields customers can use to register their details and complete their bookings.

Finally, you can share Booking Pages with your customers and start collecting bookings in your Bigin account.

Who can access this enhancement/feature? 

Users with administrator profiles can create and manage Booking Pages in Bigin.

Availability  

  • Free plan: One booking page.
  • Express and Premier plans: The first booking page is free. You can purchase the Booking Pages add-on to create up to 100 booking pages.
  • Bigin 360 and Zoho One Plans: Create up to 100 booking pages without the need to purchase the Booking Pages add-on.
To learn more about booking pages, please refer to this help document.

That's all for this enhancement. We sincerely hope you find this improvement useful. Please give it a try and leave your feedback in the comments section below. Watch this space for future announcements.

Thanks and have a good day!
