Online Booking: Choosing What Is Offered Online (Locations, Staff, Shifts, Treatments etc) and Individual Staff Preferences

When setting up online booking, you have a few options on what gets displayed online and how it is displayed.

Setting up Online Booking like a Boss

One of the reasons you may have chosen Jane is for the online booking. Because it’s an area of your site that most staff rarely visit, the set up of the online booking page can sometimes be forgotten.

Adding "Book Online" Buttons to Your Website

For a quick and easy way to link patients to your clinic’s online booking site, Jane provides a number of different “embed codes.” These snippets of code can be copied and pasted into any HTML page, including your clinic’s website, a blog post, or even your LinkedIn profile. The buttons look like...

You can tag your shifts and treatments (aka services, sessions, classes) with a tag of your choosing, sort of like a hashtag.

Full access users or account owners are able to post announcements at the top of their online booking page.

Directing New Clients to Book an Initial Visit Only

Do you need to approve bookings before they get scheduled? Jane’s Contact to Book setting lets you show your availability online, but prompts patients to call you to schedule their appointment so you can approve the time.
