Manage service categories
Categories group your services in the catalog and on your booking page. How to create them, choose an appointment colour and put services in the right order.
Every service belongs to one category, such as Haircuts, Colour or Nails. Clients see a category on your salon page and when booking online once it holds a service that can be booked online. Each category has an appointment colour; when the calendar colours by Service category (the default), you recognise appointments at a glance.
Create a category
- Go to Catalog in the menu and open Services.
- Click Add and choose Category.
- Enter the Category name.
- Choose an Appointment color.
- Enter a Description if you like. Clients read it under the category on your booking page.
- Click Add. The category now appears in the list, still without services.
Change or delete a category
Next to each category in the list is Actions. There you find:
- Edit: change the name, appointment colour and description.
- Add service: create a new service that is placed in this category straight away.
- Permanently delete: remove the category.
Order your services
You move a service by dragging it. Hover over the service: a handle appears on the left. Drag the service to where it should go, within the same category or into another one. The new order is saved straight away and is also the order on your booking page.
Dragging does not work while you are searching or filtering on a category or location. Clear your search and filters first. You can also move a service to another category by opening it and choosing a different Service category.
You need the permission Can create or edit services in the catalog for this. You set it under Settings › Team members › Permission roles.

No. A service belongs to exactly one category.
Can I filter the list by category?
Yes. Choose a category under All categories above the list, or search by name with Search service. With more than one location you can also choose what one location offers.
