Online booking is an amazing tool to help you fill slots in your calendar. Check out on this step by step how to enable yours and get those bookings flowing in!
If you would like to take deposits or no show fees from online bookings you will need to have your Stripe account set up. Find out how to set that up here as a Company or as a Freelancer.
Enabling your online booking
Go to menu - online booking, E-vouchers and payments.
Enable the toggle here for online booking.
Please note, to enable online booking you need to select your days, staff and services that you would like available to book online.
Online business hours need to be ticked here - these are the days that clients can book their appointments into your calendar.
Please note - if the ticks appear light purple as you see here, online booking is not yet fully enabled. Online booking is only fully LIVE when the ticks are dark as you see here.
Online services and staff members need to be selected here. To enable a service simply tick the box next to the service name or to enable a full category slide the toggle to the right of the category name!
To change availability per staff member:
Click on 'Staff: Online Services, Stripe Accounts & Tips'.
Locate the staff member whose services you want to check on and click 'edit' beside their name.
Toggle on relevant service categories and check the specific services you wish to make available for online booking.
Deselect any services you do not wish to offer online.
After making your selection, click Done to save changes.
When at least one service has been enabled, the profile appears like this!
Once you have enabled at least one service and one day for online bookings to be made, your online booking will be live and you can start sharing your link with clients!
If you’ve followed these steps and services still aren’t appearing online:
Recheck the availability settings under Staff: Online Services, Stripe Accounts & Tips.
Contact Slick support for additional assistance.

Why Certain Services May Not Appear for Online Booking
The services have not been toggled as available for online booking from online booking, e vouchers and payments.
Specific categories or services linked to staff members are not set up with the correct job title. Eg, there is no price and time added for the job title 'stylist' which has been assigned to that staff member.
