Wix Bookings: Offering Waitlists Using the Wix Owner App

4 min read

Don't lose potential clients who want to book your most popular classes - just add them to a waiting list.

If a client tries to book a class session on your member app, but it is full, instead of seeing the "Book Now" button, they have the option to join the waitlist.

If a spot frees up, the first person on the waitlist receives a notification from their member app.

You can decide how long the member has to join the class or pass up the offer before the next person on the waitlist gets the opportunity to join the session.

If no one on your waitlist chooses to book the class, the spot becomes open to the general public.

Note:

Members can only join a waitlist through one of the Wix member apps. If they are not members, invite them to join.
