Business information, booking policies, and payment methods

One thing to ensure when setting up your account is that your business information, booking policies, and payment methods, are set  up correctly. 

Add your contact information

Your contact information includes your phone number and address or location. This information appears on your website, while your address information will be included in booking confirmation emails sent to your customers. 

1. On desktop, click on "Business" on the left-hand menu, OR on mobile, click on "Business" on the bottom menu bar
2. Click on "Contact Information"
3. Enter your business phone number and address information
4. Click on “Save”
5. Once done, click on the “Eye” icon on the top right-hand corner of your screen and scroll down to the footer to review your contact information

Add your booking policies

Your booking policies are rules around: 

• How early in advance your customers can book your services
• How much notice your customers must provide if they need to cancel an appointment (shown to customers when they book online)
• The latest time your customers can make an online appointment
• The booking slots or intervals for appointments 

1. On desktop, click on "Settings" on the left-hand menu, OR on mobile, click on "Settings" on the bottom menu bar
2. Click on "Booking Policies"
3. Enter your preferred booking policies
