Services & Bookings
Managing Services in BusinessPlus
Create and organize professional service offerings, set pricing and durations, configure booking settings, and control public storefront visibility.
Overview of the Services Catalog
The Services dashboard (Dashboard -> Services or /dashboard/services) allows service-based businesses—such as salons, wellness centers, consultancies, repair technicians, and studios—to list and manage their service offerings. The interface provides Table and Grid viewing modes, category filtering, instant text search, and bulk deletion.
Creating a New Service
To add a service to your catalog, click "+ Add Service" on the Services page:
- Select Destination Site: Choose the business location where this service is offered. The modal automatically loads the site's active currency and existing categories.
- Enter Service Details: Enter the Service Name (required), Description, and assign a Category (defaults to "general" or pick a custom category).
- Configure Pricing: Enter the selling Retail Price (leave empty or set to 0 for free/quote-based services) and optional Cost Price (internal metric used for gross margin calculations).
- Set Scheduling & Booking Rules: Toggle "Bookable Service" on to enable online appointment scheduling, then specify the Duration (in minutes) and optional buffer turnaround time.
- Upload Media & Save: Upload a service photo or provide an image URL, then click "Save Service".
Editing Existing Services
Click the pencil icon on any service row in the table view or open the Service Detail page and click "Edit Service". Modifications to duration, pricing, or descriptions update public storefront booking slots and AI assistant recommendations immediately.
Service Availability & Storefront Visibility
Use the "Available" toggle to control whether a service appears on your public storefront. Unavailable services remain saved in your dashboard for historical reporting and manual staff booking, but are hidden from customer self-service browsing.
Deleting & Archiving Services
Click the trash icon on a service row or select multiple items for bulk deletion. Deleting a service soft-deletes the record (`deleted_at`), removing it from active catalogs while preserving past appointment and invoice history.
