Now that you have added the services within the Scheduler section of your Photobiz account, you will likely want it to show up on your website so your customers can easily book you for your services.
How To Add The Scheduler Block To Your Website
STEP ONE
Log into your PhotoBiz account and click on the WEBSITE option in the left side menu.
STEP TWO
Click on the page name or add a new page you want to use a scheduler block on.
There are two ways to have an active scheduler block on your page:
- On the right hand side of your screen, you can click the scheduler icon and the scheduler block will appear at the very bottom of your page.
- The second option is to hover your mouse over the scheduler icon, left click and hold, then drag the block to your preferred location. When a teal colored line appears where you want the block, let go of the mouse button and the block will drop in that location. To move it, simply drag it up or down.
STEP THREE
To add services to your scheduler block, simply click inside the block or on the pencil icon at the top right and choose Advanced. The menu will open on the right side of your control panel and give you the following options to select your scheduler services:
- Display ALL of your scheduler service categories: Displays all scheduler services by category.

- Display all scheduler services tagged with: Displays all scheduler services applied to your selected tag.
