Explain the consultation before the booking
Each service can describe its purpose, duration and price so customers understand the difference between an introductory call, a standard session and longer work.
The public page creates a stable destination that can be shared through professional profiles and messages.
Control when requests are accepted
Set working days, hours, minimum notice, booking interval, preparation buffer and advance window. Strict mode shows actual protected availability; Flexible mode accepts preferred-time requests for later confirmation.
Keep a professional record
Requested and confirmed appointments can be rescheduled by the merchant. Completed work can create an invoice and remain associated with the customer without exposing internal notes publicly.
