How to Verify That Your Hostinger Website Builder Appointment System Is Working

Ensuring that your Hostinger Website Builder appointment system is functioning properly is essential for maintaining a smooth booking process for your clients. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to verify that your appointment system is set up correctly and operational.

Step-by-Step Guide to Verifying Your Appointment System

1. Check Blocked Time:
   • Start by checking your blocked time to ensure no undesired dates or specific times are restricted.
   • Navigate through the calendar to verify that all days you want to be available for booking are open.
2. Verify Working Days and Hours:
   • Confirm that your working days are correctly checked.
   • Ensure that your working hours are accurately set to reflect your availability.
3. Enable Payment Methods:
   • It’s crucial to have at least one payment method enabled on your account. This can be PayPal, manual payments, or any other supported method.
   • Verify that these payment methods are active and functioning.
4. Add Booking System to Your Website:
   • Integrate the booking system into your desired page, such as your homepage.
   • Create a header button that links directly to the booking section to facilitate easy access for your clients.
5. Test the Booking System:
   • Update your website and test the booking system live to ensure it works seamlessly.
   • Check if the booking button is functional and the system allows date and time selection.
6. Resolve Common Issues:
   • Address the common error where users receive a message saying, “we can’t accept online orders right now.”
   • This can be resolved by ensuring at least one payment method is enabled.
7. Complete a Test Booking:
   • Go through the booking process, including selecting a date and time, entering client details, and choosing a payment method.
   • Confirm the booking and check the notification emails received by both you and your client.

Example of Notification Emails

• Email to Service Provider:
  • Subject: “You have received a new order.”
