Custom booking sites allow you to define which locations, staff, and services you want to show up on the scheduling link that you're creating. In this documentation guide, we'll go through how to create a custom booking site in the following scenarios:
Click on the links from the table of contents above to jump to the section of this documentation page where we cover that topic.
If you want to create a link that will only show a certain subset of your locations on an account, you can do so under the Custom Booking Site page in your Settings menu. To do this, go to Settings > Custom Booking Sites on the account you want to create the custom booking site on and click the button the "Add New Booking Site":
Fill out the add new booking site form with the following fields:
- Internal Name: This is the name shown to you and other staff on the account so you can quickly find the booking site among your list of booking sites. It is not shown to customers so you can name it in such a way that it is most clear to you and the rest of your team.
- Web handle: the is the prefix to the link that will be created for the landing page.
- Select the location groups (if applicable), locations, staff, and services that you want to include on the page. In this example, I will just select locations since we are making a custom booking site for locations. By leaving the other dropdowns set to "All Staff" and "All Services & Classes" (as shown in the screenshot below), all the staff and services that are available at the selected locations will show up on the scheduling page
- Leave the "Publish Booking Site" checked. If you uncheck it, it will create the site but the link will not be usable yet. The link must be published in order to be accessible for the customers.
Once you are done filling out the form, click the "Save Booking Site" button:
Once the booking site saves, you'll get redirected to the new booking site's profile. That will show you the details of what you applied to the link as well as show you a clickable link to go to that scheduling page:
If you click that link and go through the scheduler, you'll see the options to book will be just the locations you selected while setting up the booking site:
The other neat thing you can do with custom booking sites is under the "Customizations" tab of the booking site profile:
By default, the custom booking site will just pick up the values that are on the main scheduler on your account, but the Customizations tab of the booking site profile will let you override those default values if you want to change it for just this one scheduler. For instance, you can click "Edit" on the screen:
Enter in a different welcome text in the welcome text box and click "Save":
And if you refresh the scheduling link page, you should see the new text appear on the first page of the scheduler:
All other links on the account will keep the same welcome message – it is just this link that will be updated.
