Booking Service offerings

I know that bookings allow me to set the availability of staff to certain times and days, but is it possible to set specific days and times for the services your offer, for example,

 

Piano Lessons only available on Monday

Banjo only on Tuesday

Dance on Friday

Etc.

    The short answer is no.  I provided several workarounds. 

     

    Option 1: You must create a separate service and provide the availability.  You could create a website and give the links for each service. And, before you ask :lol: , you can not consolidate it into one calendar.

     

    Option 2: In the description area, you can provide instructions and list the day and service. (This may get overlooked.)

     

    Option 3: Create customized required fields to reassure selection with hope the clients double check their appointment date and time. 

    Piano Lessons Monday Only: yes/no

    Banjo Tuesday Only: yes/no

    Dance Friday Only:  yes/no

      Good Morning Teresa,
      Thank you for your reply. I ended up doing something very similar to your first option.
      Creating custom days and service offerings,

      But it becomes very tedious if you want to have banjo lessons on Tuesday at 9:30, then again Thursday at 1:30. but it can be done - thank you again!

        For Banjo lessons on Tuesday and Thursday, you can specify the available dates and hours in the same service.

  • dbh_skokie - I am not sure if I understood the question correctly but you can create multiple services in the same calendar and each one can have its own availability. While adding/editing a service, head over to the "Availability options" tab and under "Availability" -> "General Availability", change the dropdown to "Custom hours (recurring weekly)". You should now be able to setup a custom schedule for this particular service.
