The PhotoBiz Scheduler allows your customers to book appointments with you directly through your website. It supports both free and paid sessions, helping you manage recurring dates, limited dates, and mini-sessions.
With the Scheduler, services can be set up with a minimum duration of 15 minutes, increasing in 15-minute increments, up to a maximum of 1440 minutes (24 hours).
This guide will walk you through the steps of setting up a new service in your scheduler.
PRO TIP!
For sessions shorter than 15 minutes, use a booking form in the Form & Contract builder. We offer three customizable templates:
- Mini Session (30-minute sessions)
- 5-Minute Sessions (5-minute sessions)
- 10-Minute Sessions (10-minute sessions)
Each template can be adjusted to fit your preferred time slots.
