🌍 Overview of the booking questions
You can choose to add booking questions to your online booking flow to gather additional information from your customers. The booking questions can come in various formats: text, checkbox, dropdown, file upload, T&Cs. You can also enable conditional booking questions that only show up depending on the answers selected.
You can create as many questions as you like and set whether they should be made mandatory. In addition, you can attach specific services to specific booking questions to ensure they only get asked when a relevant service is being booked.
👀 How do booking questions show on the booking flow?
On the new booking widgets 2.0, the booking questions will show on a separate step of the booking flow.

Top tip ⭐️
If you're asking questions for "bookings made externally" or "all bookings", we suggest turning off the notes step of your online booking process. By default, this step is already off. Learn more about notes here.
