What do clients see online?
This is what your clients see when they add themselves to the waitlist online.
- Once you've switched on online waitlists, we add a link for a client to join your waitlist in your online booking flow. Your client will go to make an online booking with your business and go through the booking flow.
- When the client goes to select a date and time for their appointment, they're able to click Join our waitlist.
- Clicking Join our waitlist will open another page for your clients to be able to enter their details and details of the appointment they'd like to have. Once the client has finished entering their details, they can click Save and they'll then be added to your waitlist!
- The waitlist item will be saved in the waitlists section of the customer sidebar in your calendar.
