By adding a Sunbed team member on the appointment book, you can efficiently manage multiple sunbeds in the salon and facilitate booking sunbed services directly on the appointment page.

Menu > Settings > Team Members > Team Members > Add New 

Create a new team member profile specifically for managing sunbed services, such as Sunbeds 1 or Sunbeds 2, and assign them a roster to display on the appointment book. 

If you prefer not to use a dedicated team member for sunbed services, you can also process payments using the OTC team member in your system.

 

How to make a booking using a sunbed service 

When booking a sunbed service for a client on your appointment page, make sure to select the desired time slot and client first. Then, choose the sunbed service from the list. In the example below, you will notice a field where you can input the quantity of this service.

For instance, if the minimum duration for the sunbed service is 3 minutes and the client wishes to use it for 9 minutes, simply enter a quantity of 3 in the designated box.

Sunbed Service: 3 Minutes

Quantity 3 = 9 Minutes

Once the appointment has been made, you will see that the client has booked in for 3x the sunbed service.

At checkout, you will also see that the client is being charged for 3x the sunbed service.

How to book a sunbed course online

Once your client has purchased a course, they can then book their sunbed sessions online. The client would choose their sunbed service and then will be asked to select a quantity.

Once the client is taken to the check out screen, the course will be discounted and the quality's removed from their course.

 


What if the client has multiple of the same course

If a client has purchased multiple of the same course, they can still added multiple sessions to their appointment.

Example.

This client has purchased 2 x10 Sunbed course.

The client would like to use 11 sessions of their sunbed course.

When creating the booking, the courses will be divided into the amount that has been used.

10 sessions have been used from course 1.

1 Session has been used from course 2.

Once the client has been taken to checkout, you will then see the used courses on the clients record card
