What does the public booking page do?
A link where customers see free times and ask for a booking by themselves, at any hour.
Setup and connections
The public booking page is the front of your booking system. It’s a link you share wherever your customers are, and on it they choose a service and a free time without calling you. Here’s exactly what the page does, and what remains your job.
Each business has its own booking page. You copy its link from the panel with a copy button. The page lives on 4appointments’ own address rather than on your domain. It’s open around the clock, and each provider also has a separate link of their own.
The customer sees the business name and logo, the services with duration and price, and the free times. They can pick a particular provider or “Anyone available”, which assigns the provider with fewer bookings and can be turned off in the public-page rules. Only free times are offered, and your notice rules decide how soon or how far ahead one can book.
To book, the customer gives a name, an optional email address and a free note. No account is needed. The request is saved as pending and holds the slot until your team confirms or rejects it in the bookings section.
On the final screen the customer gets a management link for canceling or rescheduling. It isn’t emailed, and the tool sends no confirmation or reminder, so you inform customers yourself. Share the link in your social media profiles, on your website, in messages and in your email signature, and check the language of the page before you share it, since it depends on the link. Payment isn’t taken on the page.
