These settings are just the beginning – you have the freedom to fine-tune your booking options in the Settings menu to fit your specific needs.
4. Set lead time and buffer zones: Managing bookings smartly
- Optimizing Your Schedule: Within the booking options, you'll find features to set lead times and buffer zones. These settings are crucial for managing the flow of reservations, allowing you to control how far in advance bookings can be made and to set intervals between bookings. This ensures that your resources are optimally utilized and helps in maintaining a smooth operation.
5. Share your booking link: Going live with ease
- Spreading the Word: Once your setup is complete, it's time to let the world know. Share your unique booking link through your website, social media, or via email. This is where the magic happens – students, clients, or customers can now reserve their spots effortlessly.
- Stay in the Loop: Every time a booking is made, you'll be notified. Whether it's through a quick 'ping' or an email, you'll always be up-to-date with your reservations. It's about staying connected and informed, without being overwhelmed.
6. Visualize Your Success: Your Booking Page in Action
