Group appointments: a class or workshop with several participants

Create a group service with multiple spots, open a session in the calendar and register several customers, including customer self-registration.

  1. Create a new service

    Name, price and duration, like any service. For example "Morning yoga".

  2. Turn on "Allow group booking"

    The switch lives under "Advanced options". A group service is always a special event: customers register only for sessions you create in the calendar.

  3. Set the maximum participants

    In the "Group settings" sheet, enter the number of spots per session and save.

  4. Create a session in the calendar

    A new appointment with the group service. Without a session in the calendar, customers cannot register.

  5. Add participants

    Open the participants list inside the appointment and add customers, existing or new. The counter shows how many spots remain.

  6. Leave registration open

    With open registration, anyone visiting your booking page can grab a free spot. The calendar shows e.g. 2/8 with a sparkle mark.

Tips from the field

Group services are available on the Premium plan.

You can override capacity for a specific session without changing the service default.

A full session can take a waiting list, if you enabled it.

Common questions

Customers register only for sessions you created in the calendar. Create a session with the service and make sure registration is open.

Yes. Every session is a separate appointment with its own participant list.

Registration closes automatically. With an active waiting list, additional customers join the queue.

How to add a service

A service is anything a customer can book with you: a haircut, a treatment, a class, or a consultation. Without at least one service, nobody can book.

How to book an appointment yourself

A customer called or walked in. You book them yourself, and they get a confirmation exactly like someone who booked online.

How to turn on the waiting list

When nothing is free, the customer joins a waiting list instead of giving up. When a slot opens, you know exactly who to offer it to.
