Creating services for different appointment offerings

"Service" is the generic term we give to the reason a client is meeting with you.

For example:

  • If you're a massage therapist, your services may include 1 hour deep tissue massage, 1 hour hot stone massage, 1.5 hour relaxation massage, etc. 
  • If you're a personal trainer, you may have a different service for each duration of a physical training session: 30 minute training session, 45 minute training session, and hour training session...each of these different session lengths would be different services inside TimeTap.
  • If you're a professor who books office hours, you may have different lengths for the meetings students can book to come see you. Some students may select the service for a "15 minute meeting" whereas some students may need a "45 minute meeting."

The examples are nearly endless, but the important thing to understand is that services are what's communicated to clients as the reason they are scheduling the appointment. Below you'll see details about how to add different services.
