FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions.

How does a client book an appointment?+

Share your booking link. Clients choose a service, pick an available date and time, optionally choose a team member, enter their contact details, and confirm. The appointment appears in your dashboard immediately.

Why are no time slots showing on my booking page?+

Check that the day is open in Profile, the service is active, the service duration is set, and all slots are not already booked. On Pro, also check staff availability and staff service assignments. For branch pages, check the branch hours too.

Why is a staff member not showing during booking?+

The staff member must be active, available that day, and assigned to the selected service. If they are outside their availability or do not offer that service, clients will not be able to choose them.

How do I change an appointment's status?+

Open Dashboard or Bookings, find the appointment, and use the status action. Appointments can move through Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled, or No Show.

When does a client receive a feedback request?+

When you mark an appointment as Completed, the client can receive a feedback email with a link to leave a star rating and optional comment.

How do I send the intake form to a client?+

The intake link is shown after online booking when intake is enabled. You can also open the client's profile and use Send Intake Form to email the link manually.

What's the difference between disabling and deleting a service?+

Disabling hides the service from booking while keeping its history. Deleting permanently removes it. Disable seasonal or temporary services instead of deleting them.

How do rewards get tracked?+

When an appointment is marked Completed, the client's visit count increases across active reward programs. When the required number of visits is reached, the reward unlocks and appears in the client profile.

Can I book appointments manually for walk-in or phone clients?+

Yes. Go to Bookings and click + New Appointment. Manual booking requires Starter or Pro.

How do I invite staff?+

Go to Team, click Invite Staff, enter the staff member's email, and send the invite. After they accept, you can edit their schedule and assign services.

How do I invite a branch manager?+

Go to Locations, open the location details, and use Invite Manager. The manager receives an invite link and gets access to that branch only.

What's the difference between my main booking page and a branch page?+

The main booking page is for the business. A branch page is tied to one location and uses that location's address, phone, hours, map, services, and availability while sharing business branding and reviews.

Where do I find my booking link?+

Use the Dashboard to copy your main booking link or download the QR code. Branch managers can find branch booking links in the Branch Portal.

How do marketing campaigns work?+

Go to Marketing, filter your client list, tick the final recipients, write your subject and message, then send. Sent campaigns are saved with delivery stats.

Can I import existing clients or services from a spreadsheet?+

Yes. Clients and Services both support CSV import and export. Download the template from the import modal, fill it in, upload it, preview the rows, and confirm.

Why were some rows skipped when I imported?+

Rows are skipped when required data is missing, values are invalid, or the row would create a duplicate. The import result explains which rows were skipped and why.

How do I show my cancellation policy on the booking page?+

Go to Profile and fill in Booking Policies. Saved policies appear in the Good to know card on your public booking page.

How do I cancel or reactivate my subscription?+

Go to Account & Billing. You can cancel from there and keep access until the end of the billing period. If cancellation is pending, you can reactivate before the subscription ends.

How do I contact support?+

Open Support from the sidebar, choose a category, write your message, and send it. You can also email support@clientahub.com directly.
