Give customers a clear way to choose a service and an available time, even when you cannot answer the phone. Here is what to prepare before you share your first booking link.
You do not need to start with a completely new website. A direct booking link can work with the social profiles and messages you already use. If you want a fuller website or booking within an existing site, a hosted site or widget provides another route.
Give each service a clear name, current price and accurate duration. Explain what is included and any preparation customers need. Separate options when appointment lengths or requirements differ, rather than asking customers to guess which service to select.
Set working hours, breaks, leave and the staff members who can provide each service. Check that the booking page shows realistic appointment choices. Online booking should reflect the time you can offer, not every hour your business is open.
Use a direct booking link in your social profiles, messages and website buttons. Choose a hosted Velixa website if you also want pages for your services, team and business information. Use the booking widget if you want to add the booking flow to a website you already manage. Link placement depends on what each external platform supports.
Customers can browse the available options before creating or signing in to a free Velixa account to finish the booking. Every appointment booking is secured with a card saved via Stripe. No payment is taken when the booking is made. On the day of the appointment, charge the card on file or record payment in cash. Show your cancellation terms before confirmation so the customer understands any applicable late-cancellation or no-show fee.
Review the page on a phone and a desktop. Check service choices, available times, business details, policy wording and the confirmation/reminder settings. Make the booking route easy to find, then keep a contact option for customers who need help choosing a service.
