How to Accept Appointments in Hostinger Website Builder
Managing appointments on your website can significantly enhance your business’s efficiency and customer satisfaction. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of setting up an appointment booking system using Hostinger Website Builder.
Step-by-Step Guide to Accepting Appointments
1. Accessing Website Settings
To start accepting appointments, go to your website settings in the Hostinger Website Builder. Navigate to the “Appointments” section.
2. Enabling Appointments
In your store management area, click on “Enable Appointments.” This will allow you to start configuring your availability for appointments.
3. Editing Availability
Click on the “Edit Availability” button to set your working hours and days. You can enable or disable specific days, such as Saturdays and Sundays, and specify working hours. Make sure to save your changes.
4. Blocking Time Slots
You can block specific times by selecting them from the calendar and clicking “Save.” This feature is useful for marking days when you are not available.
5. Creating Appointment Products
To create an appointment product:
- Click on “Products” from the left-side menu.
- Select “Add Product” and choose “Appointment” from the list.
- Set the product as visible or hidden.
- Upload product images and give your product a title, such as “Dental Appointment.”
- Provide a detailed description of the service.
6. Setting Pricing
You can set the price for your appointments. The pricing field is optional, and you can choose between a fixed amount or free service. You can also add a discount price if desired.
7. Categorizing Your Product
Assign a category to your appointment product. If you don’t have categories yet, create one and then assign it to the product.
8. Configuring Location and Duration
Set the location where the appointment will take place, such as “My Office.” Define the appointment duration (e.g., 60 minutes). Note that the duration cannot be less than 15 minutes.
9. Setting Appointment Conditions
You can set conditions such as minimum notice time for bookings. For example, a two-day notice period will prevent clients from booking appointments for the next day.
10. Displaying the Appointment Product
To display the appointment product on your website:
- Go back to your website builder and click on “Edit Website.”
- Add a new section from the left-side menu, selecting “Online Store” and then “Single Product.”
- Select your appointment product and save the changes.
Now, your clients can see the appointment product on your website, complete with price, duration, and booking options. They can choose a time slot and proceed to checkout to complete the booking.
By following these steps, you can efficiently manage appointments on your Hostinger website, offering a smooth and professional booking experience for your clients. If you need any assistance, feel free to contact me at bensexperience.com.
