You’ve made a name for yourself, show it off! We automatically make this your first and last name, but you can change it to your beauty business name if you’d like. Clients can also see your business name in the middle of your website and in any email and text communications they receive from you (appointment confirmations, reminders, and follow-ups).

Your time is valuable so make sure that clients know. To automatically enforce your cancellation policy, turn on the option to require a card on file at booking and they will only be charged at the time of appointment at your control. You can also optionally require clients to acknowledge your cancellation policy when they book, to protect against no-shows and chargebacks.
How to: Settings > Booking Controls & Notifications > Require Card choose whether you want clients to add their card at booking> Back > Cancellation Fee to change the percentage > Save > Back > Cancellation Policy > add your policy and Save > then toggle ON Cancellation Policy Required.
