Take your first booking
How to add a walk-in and how customers book online. · Updated 01/06/2026
You can add bookings two ways: manually from the calendar, or let customers book themselves on your public website.
Add a booking manually
- Open Calendar in the admin area.
- Click an empty slot on the day and staff column you want.
- Choose the service, customer (or add a new one) and confirm.
Let customers book online
- Share the link
yourslug.bookappointment.co.uk/book. - Or embed the booking widget on your own site — see the Website & Branding section.
- Customers pick a service, a member of staff (or "any staff") and a time slot.
The system blocks double-bookings automatically: if a staff member already has an appointment covering that time (including its full duration), the slot won't be offered.
