# Appointments beside your walk-in line

Customers book a time from your Check-in Page. Your team sees every appointment on one calendar, by day, by week or as a list, next to the live line.

- Day, Week or List
- Book, move and block time
- Deposits and reminders
- Weekly or monthly repeats

## One calendar for the whole team

See a location’s appointments by person on a day, by day in a week, or as a list. Times are always in the location’s time zone.

- **Book in a tap.**Tap empty time or press New, pick the day, time, person and service, and save. Matching clients appear as you type.
- **Move by dragging.**Drag an appointment to a new time, or open it and press Move. You can tell the customer the new time.
- **Block time.**Close a stretch for one person, or the whole day. Blocked time closes those slots to online booking.
- **Clashes are flagged.**A move or booking that clashes says why and offers Move anyway or Book anyway.

## Customers book from your Check-in Page

They pick a service, a team member (or anyone), a day and a time, one step at a time. Only open times are shown.

- **Checked as they book.**Times fit the service’s length, the person’s working hours and their blocked time.
- **No double booking.**Two customers can’t both take the last place in a slot.
- **Repeat visits.**Regulars can book a weekly, every-two-weeks or monthly series of up to 12 visits at once.
- **Self-serve changes.**Each confirmation links to reschedule or cancel, up to 2 hours before.

## Deposits, reminders and a waitlist

Protect the booking and keep customers on time, without chasing anyone.

- **Deposits or a card on file.**Charged on your own Stripe account. See No-show protection.
- **Reminders.**A confirmation when they book, then reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before, by email.
- **Tell me if a time opens.**On a full day, customers can ask to hear when a time frees up.
- **Canceled times go to your line.**The first waiting walk-in it fits is offered the time, and has 5 minutes to take it.

Everyone hears at once. Whoever books first gets the time.

## How it works

- 1

### Turn on appointments

In Location settings, choose a slot length and how many days ahead people can book (7 to 60).

- 2

### Set hours and blocks

Give each person weekly hours and block time off from their profile on the Staff page.

- 3

### Share your link

Customers book from the QR code or check-in link, and the calendar fills in.

## Who it’s for

-

### Barbershop

Keep the walk-in line for the afternoon rush and let regulars book their standing Saturday cut as a monthly series.

-

### Salon

Book color appointments with a deposit, block a stylist’s lunch every Tuesday, and let “anyone” fill the gaps.

-

### Tattoo studio

Hold an artist’s afternoon for a long session with a deposit, and send the reminder to the client by email.

## The small things

-

### Walk-ins and appointments together

Booked time counts in wait estimates, so walk-in quotes stay realistic.

-

### My calendar

A team member with their own sign-in sees their own bookings.

-

### Print the day

Print a day, a week or a list from the Calendar options.

-

### Book their next visit

After checkout, offer up to three open times for the client’s next visit.

-

### Your cancellation policy

Add policy text that customers see when they book.

## Questions

Which plans have the calendar and online booking?

They are part of Pro (and Restaurant), and the free trial includes them. On Walk-in and Free the Appointments page shows an upgrade card.

Can I keep it walk-ins only?

Yes. Appointments are a switch in each location’s settings, and walk-ins run beside them when it is on.
