Clients fill out the Booking Form when they sign up for your services. You can adjust your default form, or create custom forms for each service to suit your business needs.
For example, if you offer dog grooming, you might want to ask clients to enter the dog's name and vaccination status. If these questions are not relevant for a particular service (e.g. a lecture on dog care), then you can create a custom booking form for that service without those questions.
Note:
You can also create an additional form your clients see as they complete checkout, which covers the entire order the client makes.
Step 1 | Set up your default Booking Form
The default booking form appears for all services, unless you create a custom booking form for a specific service. You can choose which information is mandatory.
You can also enable SMS reminders to add a checkbox at the bottom of the form. Clients can opt in to receive SMS messages 24 hours before their session.
To set up your default booking form:
- Go to Booking Form in your site's dashboard.
- Give your default booking form a title and click the Confirm icon
. - (Optional) Add a subtitle with more details or instructions for filling out the form.
- Choose how you want clients to enter their name on the form:
- Hover over First Name or Last Name and choose the relevant option:
- Split: Click the Split icon
to split the name fields into first and last name. - Combine: Click the Combine icon
to combine first and last name in one field.
- Split: Click the Split icon
- Click the Confirm icon .
- Hover over First Name or Last Name and choose the relevant option:
- Click the Edit icon
on any of the remaining fields on the form to edit their text label. Select the Make this a required field checkbox if you want to make specific details mandatory before booking. Then, click the Confirm icon .
- (Optional) Click + Add custom field if you require any additional information from clients before they can book your services, and then click the Confirm icon .
- Click Save Form.
Step 2 | Create a custom form for a specific service
If it's not appropriate to apply the default booking form to all your services, you can create a custom booking form for individual services.
Before you begin:

next to Additional Settings. - Click Custom booking form.
