FAQs

Make sure your staff and clients have the resources they need for the best experience. You can assign resources, like rooms or equipment, to specific staff members or locations.

For appointment-based services, resources also help prevent double-booking by ensuring the required room or equipment is available at the selected time.

Creating a resource category

Your staff may require specific resources in order to offer their services. This can include certain rooms, machinery or other materials.

Important:

Resources are for internal use by you and your staff only. They are not visible to your clients.
The number of resources and items you can offer depends on your plan. Upgrade your site or upgrade your Studio plan if you need to create more resources.

To create a resource category:

Go to Resources in your site's dashboard.
(First time only) Click Get Started.
Click + Create Resource.
Enter the Resource name.
Enter how many of this resource type you have.
(Optional) Assign a Location to this resource type if you offer services at more than one location.
Click Create.

Renaming or deleting a resource category

As your business grows, you may need to rename or delete some of your existing resource types. You can update your resource types at any time from your site dashboard.

Notes:

When you delete a resource type, sessions already scheduled with the resource type remain on your Booking Calendar.
Each of your resource types needs at least one resource.

To rename a resource type:

Go to Resources in your site's dashboard.
Click the More Actions icon next to the relevant resource type.
Choose the relevant option:
- Rename:
  1. Click Rename.
  2. Enter the new name.
  3. Click Save.
- Delete:
  1. Click Delete.
  2. Click Delete again to confirm.

Creating a resource

Add resources to their relevant resource types from the Resources section of your site's dashboard. As you add resources, make sure you assign them to the relevant locations where they're required.

To create a resource:

Go to Resources in your site's dashboard.
Click Manage under the relevant resource.
Click Add Resource.
Enter the Resource name.
(Optional) Click to select the Location, if you offer services which require the resource at multiple locations.
Note: If you select All locations, make sure you can provide this resource everywhere it's required, without overbooking.

Editing or deleting resources

As your business grows, you may need to edit or delete existing resources to make way for new ones.

Note:

When you delete a resource, the resource is not removed from existing sessions that have already been scheduled. You can remove the resource manually from the session in the Booking Calendar.

To edit or delete an existing resource:

Go to Resources in your site's dashboard.
Click the More Actions icon next to the relevant resource.
Choose what you want to do:
- Edit:
  1. Click Edit.
  2. Enter the new Resource name.
  3. Click the Location dropdown and select the relevant Location.
  4. Select the relevant Availability option.
  5. Click Save.
- Delete:
  1. Click Delete.
  2. Click Delete to confirm.

Connecting resources to services

Once you have created your resource categories and added resources, you can assign them to relevant services. This helps you and your staff track which rooms, equipment, or materials are needed for each service.

For appointments, resources affect availability, clients can only book when the required resources are available. For classes and courses, resources do not affect availability or prevent double bookings.

Important:

Resources are for internal use only and are not visible to your clients.
Assign the correct resources to their relevant services and locations to ensure you and your staff know what is required.
Resources must be available in the same location as the service.

To connect resources to a service:

Go to Booking Services in your site's dashboard.
Hover over the relevant service and click Edit.
Scroll down to the Resources & rooms section.
Select the checkbox next to the resources you want to assign to the service.
Click Save.
