Power booking: this is a feature that lets you book an appointment during another appointment while your other client is processing.
Appointment Padding: This is a feature that lets you add a 10/15 minute time slot after appointments that require clean up time.

Power Booking


For example if someone booked this service at 10:00am it will block off 30 minutes then make 30 minutes available then block off 30 minutes to finish up and 15 minutes to clean up. Here is what a client trying to book an appointment would see:

So if they wanted to book a service with you at 10:30am that is only 30 minutes or less they could still book it even though another client has booked a service at 10:00am that lasts over an hour!

StyleSeat gives you a FREE scheduling tool and FREE online booking! Here’s how it works:
Scheduling Tool
StyleSeat has a scheduling tool that lets you manage your appointments and send auto client follow-up emails to help you spend more time with clients and less time managing your business.

Even if you don’t turn online booking on, your services will say “Call to book”, and clients can call the number listed on your profile.

Here’s what you get if you use us for scheduling:
Online Booking
Online booking will have all of the same features as above, plus the luxury of giving clients the option to book themselves. Turn your online booking on by going to “My Home/Settings/Online Booking”. Choose your client reminder and online booking notifications, and click “save”.

In “My profile/edit profile/services” you can set up your services to be “call to book” if you don’t wish to offer online booking for certain services. Just click the “Disable booking online for this service” check box and click “save service”:

We also give you the option to use power booking/appointment padding per service, so new clients can book an appointment online during the time your other client is processing, and can not book an appointment during your clean up time. See how it works: Power Booking/Appointment Padding.
Go to “My Profile/edit profile/services” and click the teal link that says “Power booking/padding (beta)”. Make sure the “Disable booking online for this service” box is NOT checked:

A dropdown menu will appear. Set your times:

Remember: Clients can filter their searches by “online booking” so be sure to turn yours on in order to increase your chances of surfacing in search!
Manage your schedule from your mobile device:
Once you start using us for scheduling and/or online booking, you will be able to see the following stats on your dashboard for your day/week/month:
