First off, if you don't have a Wix account yet, just click on the link in the description
box below to sign up for free. Once you've logged in to your Wix account, click on the
pencil icon above the website you want to add a Wix booking calendar to to access your
Wix editor.
To add Wix bookings to your website, click on 'add apps' from the left-hand side panel
to access the Wix app market, and then click on the search bar on the top, left-hand side
and search for 'Wix bookings'. Once that option pops up, click on it.
Wix Wix bookings, you're able to offer 1-on-1 appointments, group sessions, classes, workshops,
intro calls and more, manage your calendar, schedule, staff and clients from any device,
accept secure online payments for your services, memberships and packages, and make it easy
for clients to book and pay on-the-go with the Wix mobile app.
Some Wix templates come with Wix Bookings already added. You can add Wix Bookings to
your site for free, but you must upgrade to a Wix Business Premium Plan to accept bookings.
Plans start at $17 per month. Click on 'add to site' to add Wix bookings to your website.
Once Wix bookings has been added to your website, you'll have a 'bookings' tab on your left-hand
side panel, and a new page will be created on your website where you can view and edit
your Wix calendar bookings. You can access these same bookings settings by clicking on
your book online section, and then on 'manage services' from its individual toolbar.
In the bookings panel, you can access your bookings manager where you can add a service,
connect your payment method and get booked, add booking elements, including featured service,
service list, book button, timetable, and staff members, learn more about Wix bookings
by accessing the Wix bookings support forum, getting more tips from the Wix blog, and hiring
a Wix designer partner, and click to upgrade to accept payments and bookings with a Wix
Business Premium Plan.
Let's head back to the bookings manager tab, and then click on 'manage services' to setup
bookings on your Wix website. You'll be automatically directed to the booking services menu. From
here, you can select whether your service is 1-on-1, such as private consultations and
online coaching, or for multiple participants, such as workshops with experts and online
courses. Let's go ahead and select 1-on-1.
Once you have chosen the type of bookings you'll be offering, Wix will prompt you to
name your service, including:
General info, made up of service title, service subtitle, image, and description and media.
Service type, made up of appointment, which is a 1-on-1 class session that can be booked
according to availability, class, which are regularly scheduled sessions for multiple
participants, and clients book each session separately, or course, which is a complete
set of sessions for multiple participants, and clients book them all in advance.
Service details, which will vary depending on which service type you chose. If you selected,
course, for instance, this section would be made up of course capacity, course price,
amount, type of location, and video conferencing. Add sessions to get booked, where you can
click on 'add sessions' to set when this service is offered and the staff who provide it.
Additional settings, made up of online booking preferences, payment preferences, group booking
preferences, and booking form. As well as display settings, where you can
set whether this service is visible or invisible on your site, and under which service category
it'll be listed.
If you plan on creating more than one service to offer with your Wix bookings, click on
the three little dots to save and duplicate this service you just created. Once you're
happy with the Wix booking, click on 'save' on the top, right-hand side.
From this same dashboard, you can click to access your booking calendar. This is where
you can view all of the Wix bookings you created by week and by day, filter the calendar by
services offered, refresh the calendar, export booking data, access more actions, including
sync staff calendar, set appointment hours, view reports, manage on the go, and update
booking sessions, as well as click to add new sessions.
Let's x out of this dashboard, click on the book online section, and then on 'settings'
from its individual toolbar. From here, you click on either 'manage' or on 'services'
to add a new service to your Wix bookings to showcase your services, let clients book
& pay from any device, and manage and grow your business.
You can click on 'layouts' to choose a layout for your Wix bookings, including side by side,
overlapping, strip or grid, select a max number of cards per row, set the card spacing and
service details padding, choose the image layout, including shape (rectangle, square
or round) and resize options (crop or fit), and customize said image cropping, as well
add edit the text layout of the list title alignment, including left, center or right.
You can click on 'display' to select the list details you would like to show, including
list title and categories, the service details you would like to show, including image, service
subtitle, read more link, divider, price and duration, and include a service action button
or not.
You can click on 'text' to set the text for the list title and read more link sections,
and you can click on 'design' to edit the design settings for your Wix booking's background
and dividers, including list background, service background, image background, service border
and service details divider, text style, including list title, service title, service subtitle,
and read more link, and button design, including the button style, font and color, and background
opacity and color.
