Services, buffers and prices

Go to Services in the dashboard.

What each setting does

• Duration — how long the appointment itself takes.
• Buffer after — time blocked after each appointment, for travel, cleanup or notes. Customers never see it as free time. For mobile businesses this is your travel time between jobs.
• Buffer before — time blocked before each appointment, for setup or preparation.
• Start times every — how often appointments can start. Leave it empty to use the duration (a 60-minute service starts on the hour); set 30 to allow half-hour starts.
• Price — shown on your booking page in your business currency (choose it under Settings → General). Enter 0 for free services. Payments aren't taken online yet. Changing the currency relabels your prices; it doesn't convert them.
• Who performs it — only these people can be booked for the service.
• Bookable online — untick to hide a service from your booking page without deleting it.

How buffers protect your day

If an exterior wash takes 90 minutes with a 30-minute buffer after, a 9:00 booking blocks 9:00–11:00. The next customer can book from 11:00 at the earliest. Buffers are checked by our server every time someone books, so they can't be skipped.

Removing a service

Remove deletes a service that has never been booked. If it has bookings, it's archived instead so your history stays intact.
