ADI: Adding and Setting Up Wix Bookings

6 min read
Wix Bookings is an easy to use, all-in-one, appointment booking system that frees you up to focus on your business. 
With this app your customers can schedule appointments and services directly on your site, any time, from anywhere. 

Step 1 | Add the Wix Bookings app

First, add the app to your site. Once you add the app, a new page called Book Online is added to your site. You can access this page from the Pages menu. The following pages are automatically included under the Book Online section of the ADI Builder:
  • Service Page
  • Booking Form
  • Booking Calendar
  • Bookings Checkout

To add the app:

  1. Hover over Add at the top of ADI.
  2. Click Apps.
  3. Hover over Bookings and click Add.

Step 2 | Create a service

Next, create your services. You can create 3 types of services; appointments, classes and courses.

To create a service:

  1. Go to Booking Services in your site's dashboard.
  2. Choose the service you want to create:
    • Appointment: Services offered to customers who book available time slots.
    • Class: Recurring group services (e.g. a weekly yoga class) for which clients can book individual sessions. They don't need to commit to an entire course.
    • Course: Multi-session meetings where clients sign up for and pay for the entire thing - not just a single session.
  3. Choose what you want to do: 
    • Use a template: Click Edit to use the relevant template based on your business type.
    • Create my own: Click + Start from Scratch to use a blank template.
  4. Depending on the service type you choose, follow the relevant instructions below to set up your service:
