Group and order services in categories
Categories organise your services on the booking page, so clients scan a few clear headings (for example Hair, Nails, Skincare) instead of one long list. Every service belongs to a category.
Create and manage categories#
- Open Services and choose Manage categories.
- Type a name in New category name at the top and choose Add.
- For each category you can:
- pick a Colour (it is also used for that category's cards on the calendar),
- Hide it from clients or Show it again,
- Rename or Delete it. Deleting a category keeps its services; they become Unassigned until you move them.
- Drag categories by their handle to set the order clients see.
Put services in a category#
Choose the category when you create a service, or change it from the category menu on the service's row in Services. See Create & edit a service.
Order services inside a category#
- In Services, choose Reorder on the category.
- Drag the handle, or use the arrows, to set the order.
- Choose Done. The order is saved and used on your booking page.
How it looks to clients#
On your booking page, services appear under their category headings in your order, with a row of category shortcuts at the top to jump between them. A hidden category is not shown to clients.
Tips#
- Keep a handful of clear categories; too many defeats the purpose.
- Use extras such as a longer wash or a nail repair as add-ons on a whole category rather than as separate services. See Offer add-ons.
