What your booking page looks like to clients

Your booking page is a full profile for your business. When a client opens the link you share, they land on a page that shows everything they need to decide and book.

Here's what they see, from top to bottom:

Header section

  • Your cover photo

  • Your logo, business name, and category

  • Your starting price (e.g. "from $35")

  • Your next available opening (e.g. "Today")

  • A Book an appointment button

  • A View services link

My Works

  • A gallery of your work photos, so clients can see your results before they book

About

  • Your business description, pulled from what you entered in your dashboard

Services

  • Each service shows a photo, name, description, price, and duration

  • Services appear in the same order you set in your dashboard

  • Only services marked as Public show up here

  • If you have more services than the preview shows, clients can tap View all services to see the full list

Policies

  • Your rescheduling and late arrival policies are listed here

  • These are generated automatically based on your settings.

  • Clients can tap to expand and read the details

Business Location and Hours

  • Your address, any notes you've added (like parking instructions), and your weekly hours

Contact

  • Your Instagram handle or other contact info, if you've added it


How a client books step by step

Step 1: Client opens your booking page

They use the link you shared through DMs, your Instagram bio, or wherever you've posted it. Everything above is what they see first.

Step 2: Client selects a service

The client taps the service they want. Each service shows the name, price, description, and how long it takes.

If they don't see a particular service, it's because that service is set to Private in your dashboard.

Step 3: Client chooses a date and time

After picking a service, the client sees a calendar. They:

  1. Pick a date

  2. Choose from the available time slots

Clients only see times that:

  • Fit within your business hours

  • Match the service duration

  • Respect your buffer times

  • Don't overlap with existing bookings

  • Follow your booking rules (like lead time and how far ahead they can book)

If no times are available on a certain day, the client is asked to pick a different date.

Step 4: Client enters their details

The client fills in:

  • Full name

  • Email address

  • Phone number

  • Any notes or requests (optional)

This info is used for booking confirmations and communication.

Step 5: Client reviews policies and payment

Before confirming, the client:

  • Sees your cancellation and booking policies

  • Completes payment or deposit, if you've turned that on

If you require payment, the booking only goes through after the payment is successful.

Step 6: Booking is confirmed

Once the booking is complete:

  • The client sees a confirmation screen with their appointment details

  • The client gets a confirmation email

  • You get a notification email

  • The time is blocked on your schedule automatically


Timezones are handled automatically

Clients always see appointment times based on your business timezone, no matter where they're located. This means you and the client are always looking at the same time. No confusion, no missed appointments.


What if a client can't find a time slot?

If a client tells you there are no times available, it's usually because:

  • The service duration doesn't fit the remaining time on that day

  • Your buffer times are blocking nearby slots

  • The day is marked as off

  • Your lead time or advance booking window is limiting what shows

Availability isn't random. SuiteCal only shows times that are actually open and safe to book.


Good to know

Your booking page updates automatically when you make changes in your dashboard. If you reorder services, update your hours, add new work photos, or edit your policies, your clients see those changes right away.
