What is a standard service?
A service is what you provide to your customers and allow them to book. A standard service is one which contains only one part and starts and ends in a single duration of time. The contrary to this is a multi-part service which you can learn more about here.
Creating a new standard service
Hover over the Setup tab and select Manage services from the drop down menu
Click Add service and fill in the details under each of the headings:
Basic details
Give the service a name that your customers will be able to understand and identify when they are making a booking
Select a category to place the service into, or click New category if the service does not fit into any of the existing ones (Learn more about service categories)
Give the service a description. This will only appear on your business Booking Page(s), not your booking widgets
Include the location where your service will take place. The location will show in the calendar event of your confirmation emails, not in the content. Learn more about calendar events.
