Can customers book repeat appointments without contacting us?

Can customers book repeat appointments without contacting us?

Yes, customers can be offered repeat booking through an account area or suitable booking link. Begin by deciding whether they are reserving one further appointment or a recurring series. Each option needs rules for availability and changes.

How could this work in practice?

A customer could view a previous service and choose to book it again. The system can offer available staff, locations or times according to the business’s rules. It should ask for updated information where the previous appointment details may no longer apply.

What needs to be agreed before development?

Define how far ahead bookings can be made, whether deposits are required and what happens on bank holidays. For a recurring series, decide how conflicts are presented rather than silently moving appointments to unsuitable dates.

What should we check before using it?

Test changes to service duration, staff availability and customers cancelling one appointment in a series. Make the confirmation clear about which dates are reserved. Keep a contact route for requests the automated booking rules cannot accommodate.
