Introduction to Bookings

Set up the availability of services, consults, and more with the Storbie Bookings add-on.
Managing your bookings for your business’s services directly through your Storbie site allows your customers to check your availability and book in an appointment for any services you offer conveniently online. No need to send them off to another place on the web to book, and while they're locking in their appointment - they may as well browse your product range too.

Glossary
Availability Profile
The first thing you will need to do is define an Availability Profile. This is where you define the hours available of a your resources are able to be booked within. Once you have created the Availability Profile, you will assign it to the calendar of one or more resources. An Availability Profile can often be your businesses opening hours.
Calendar
A calendar sets the availability of a particular resource. For example, if the calendar was for a particular staff member you can book in their days off or lunch breaks etc. Ideally you would need a calendar for each resource. For example, you should create a calendar for any bookable room, equipment, as well as any staff member required.
Service
This is the service a customer is booking, whether a vaccination or other type of consultation. The service entity is very similar to a product in terms of how you would add a name, description, image, price, and tags.
