Add and edit appointment services

Appointments is marked Coming soon. Only Magpie administrators can access it.

Open Appointments → Services. Each service has its own section, titled with its name. Click the name or description to change it, and click a value in the rows below for the duration, price, location or buffers. Type a length such as 45 min or 1 hour; the row shows it back as Magpie read it.

Add service in the page bar asks for a name only. The new service starts at 30 minutes with no price, offered by everyone accepting appointments, and its section opens so you can change the rest.

Prices are shown to customers on the booking page. Appointments does not take online payment or create an invoice.

Choose who provides a service

The Staff row names who customers can book for the service. With more than one person accepting appointments, Change opens the list to choose from. Customer availability uses those members' weekly hours and Magpie Calendar events. See Add staff and set appointment hours.

Take a service off the booking page

Switch off Available to book. The service is not shown to customers and its existing appointments are kept. Switch it on to offer it again.

Require a room or item

Select one active resource from Resource Booking under Required resource. Magpie checks the resource schedule and existing reservations when it shows times, then creates a resource reservation with the appointment. The resource and booking page must use the same time zone. Resources that require approval cannot be used for appointments that confirm automatically.

Resource setup is described in Book shared resources. To change your first-run services, see Set up Appointments. For a service setup problem, Contact support.
