Your online bookings profile can be accessed by your customers in 3 different ways:

Before you set up your online bookings make sure the following is done:

Now all of these have been completed, let's get to it!

Opening times

First, enter you opening times. These opening hours do not affect when people can book with you.

They're only there to let your clients know when your business is normally open.

For example, when you click to close Saturdays, people can still book with you on Saturdays unless Saturdays are blocked in your calendar. Learn how to use blocked times by reading the article about setting up your work scedule.


Security

Customise the security

When a client is booking through Noona or your website, you'll need some information about him. Both name and phone is required, but you can choose if you would like to get the email, social ID number or license plate number.

  • Email: Can be great if you would like Noona to send an email when your client has booked an appointment.

  • Social ID number

  • License plate number: Great if you have a car repair shop.

When is it alright for your clients to make, move or cancel an appointment ?

Here you can set up your client's online booking behavior so it fit your needs.

For example, how many days in advance you would like it to be possible to book and how many minutes before the appointment it is alright for your client to book.

Here is where you can also set the rules of how long in advance your clients have to cancel or move their appointment.

A few more security settings

Here, you can pick the way you want to allow online bookings.

  • If you want to allow online bookings without any comfirmation on your side then check: Allow online bookings without staff member having to confirm it

  • If you want to allow clients to book over another appiontment that has been canceled then check: Allow online bookings over appointments that have been canceled
