Build a client-facing booking site from templates, then add the service menu, provider profiles and portfolio images. Clients can reach booking without installing an app or signing in; review the service descriptions and availability they actually see.

Control whether appointments are accepted automatically or reviewed manually, and set deposit, card-on-file and cancellation policies for the selected service. Walk through a fictional cancellation to understand the client message and charge rules before turning on real payments.

Use the calendar to create or edit appointments from the front desk or a mobile device. Work hours, vacation and personal blocks can be synchronized with supported external calendars; verify the conflict direction rather than assuming every external event blocks booking.

For services that need a room or piece of equipment, Resource Management can reserve that asset with the appointment. Compare the resulting calendar against provider availability during a multi-service test; the feature is associated with higher salon tiers.

Keep visit history, service notes and preferences visible next to the appointment. Automated confirmations and reminders then help the client track changes, while staff should check that message timing and consent suit the business.

Offer an extra service or longer session during booking or add it at checkout; the calendar updates to reflect the change. A Gold or Platinum waitlist can alert clients to a matching opening after a cancellation, subject to the configured availability and notification rules.

The scheduled appointment can pass to the connected point of sale, where the business completes checkout with supported card or contactless methods. Reconcile a safe sample across the appointment, client record and sales report before using it for real transactions.
