How Your Booking Page Works

Your SuiteCal booking page is what clients see when they book an appointment with you. This article explains what clients experience step by step, how availability is calculated, and when your page becomes live.

What Clients See When They Open Your Booking Page

When a client opens your booking page, they see:

  • Your business name and description

  • Your business address (if added)

  • A list of services you offer

  • Service categories (like Lash Fills or Volume Lash Extensions)

Only public services appear here. Private services stay hidden and are not bookable.


How Services Are Displayed

Services are shown as cards with:

  • Service name

  • Price

  • Duration

The order of services matches the order you set in the Services section of your dashboard.
If you drag and reorder services there, the booking page updates automatically.

Clients can also filter services using category tabs at the top.


How Clients Choose a Date and Time

After selecting a service, clients move to the scheduling step.

They will:

  1. Select a date from the calendar

  2. Choose an available time slot

  3. See your timezone clearly displayed

If no slots are available for a selected date, SuiteCal shows a message asking the client to choose another day.


How Availability Is Calculated

Available time slots are calculated automatically based on:

  • Your business hours

  • The service duration

  • Gap or buffer settings between appointments

  • Booking lead time

  • Advance booking window

  • Existing bookings

Clients only see time slots that actually fit the service they selected. Overlaps are automatically blocked.


Client Details and Confirmation

Once a time is selected, clients enter their details:

  • Full name

  • Email

  • Phone number

  • Optional notes

They must also accept your cancellation and refund policy before continuing.

If payments or deposits are enabled, clients are guided through payment before confirming the booking.


Booking Confirmation

After a successful booking:

  • The client sees a booking confirmation screen with date, time, and service details

  • The client receives a confirmation email

  • You receive a new booking notification email

The booking is now locked into your calendar.


Cancellations and Changes

Clients can cancel their appointment using the link in their confirmation email.

When a cancellation happens:

  • The appointment is removed from your schedule

  • You receive a cancellation notification email

  • The client receives a cancellation confirmation email

Cancellation rules are enforced automatically based on your booking settings.


When Your Booking Page Becomes Live

Your booking page is live as soon as:

  • You’ve created at least one public service

  • Your business hours are set

Any updates you make to services, availability, or booking rules reflect instantly on the page. There’s no publish button or delay.


Before You Share Your Link

Quick checklist:

  • Services are priced correctly

  • Business hours are set

  • Payment or deposit rules are correct

  • Cancellation policy is reviewed

  • Booking page link looks right

Once this is done, you’re ready to share your link confidently.
