TapBook

Services and extras

Add the services customers can book or ask a quote for, with their length, price and picture, and extras they can add on.

Services are what customers pick first on your booking page. Each one books a time, asks for a quote, does either, requests a call-back or sends a message. Extras are add-ons they can pick after a service they fit.

Where to find them

  1. In TapBook, open Booking page.
  2. Services is the first tab. Choose Add service, or open Add a service.
  3. Extras is the card under it. Choose Add extra, or open Add an extra.

The services card says What customers pick first. Other enquiry always comes last. The extras card says Add-ons customers can pick after a service they fit.

Only owners can change them. Until the booking page is published, this tab isn't there yet. See Your booking page.

The service list

Each row shows the picture or icon, the title, then the subtitle, what happens, the length and the price, or None when you left the price empty. A length with a buffer reads like 1 hr + 15 min buffer.

Shown or Hidden sits on the row. Other enquiry also has Always last, and stays at the bottom. Every other service has up and down buttons, named Move then the title then up or down, and TapBook answers Order saved. Edit opens that service.

With no extras yet, the card says No extras yet. Add one, then switch it on for the services it fits. An extra's row shows its price as Quote, or the dollars with a plus, then One or Up to a number, then how many services it fits, or None yet.

Add or edit a service

A new service is headed Add a service. An existing one is headed Edit and its title. A new one starts as Book a time, 1 hr, buffer None, Shown to customers on, and ticked for every location and every team member or bay.

Other enquiry

Other enquiry is always shown, always last, and can't be removed. You can change its subtitle and picture. The page is headed Edit Other enquiry, and those are the only fields.

Things to check

Customers can't see a service

The row says Hidden, or Shown to customers is off. With two or more locations, the service also has to be ticked for the location they are booking. Other enquiry is always shown.

Late in the day has no times

The length and the buffer have to finish before you close. A 2 hr job can't start at 4 pm if you close at 5 pm. See Opening hours and closures and When customers can book.

An extra never shows

The extras list says None yet, or the service's Extras ticks leave it off. Turn it on from either page, then Save extra or Save service. It is left out after Other enquiry, which has no extras.
