Booking system

The booking system allows you to offer services that your customers can reserve through the Web site. This could include tool rentals, table reservations in a restaurant, or booking a hairdresser appointment. The services are referred to as “Services”.
To offer these services, you must perform the basic settings and create the services. There are two assistants to help you do this. The booking system setup assistant helps you with the basic settings. The services setup assistant helps you to create services.
You work with the booking system as follows:
  1. Setting up the booking system
  2. Start the booking system setup assistant and perform all required steps.

  3. Creating services
  4. Create services. Start the services setup assistant and perform all required steps.

  5. Creating bookings
  6. Bookings can be made by your customers using the Web site, or created by you in the Administration area. This is done by selecting the corresponding service and entering the required data. Finally, the booking is sent or saved. The bookings are entered in the booking overview for the specific service.

  7. Control and confirmation
  8. In the Administration area, you can display the booking either using the calendar function of a service or using the search tool. If the manual confirmation option is active, you must check and confirm each booking individually in order for the confirmation e-mail to be sent to the customer. If required you can change the booking time in the booking details at any time, or also cancel the booking. For more information, see Booking details.

Once that is done, the bookings are entered into the calendar and confirmed with the customer.
The booking system setup assistant can be executed again after the first usage to change settings.
The services setup assistant is used to set up services. To change the details for the service, open the details of the corresponding service from the table. See also Service details.
Services are managed in a similar way to products. After editing the general properties with prices and descriptions, you can assign images and define category assignments.
The bookings for each service are listed in a special tab; see Bookings.
