MyTime offers the ability to specify for each individual service whether the service can be delivered in-store, at the client's location, or both. In this article, you will learn how to:
Things to know:
- For businesses configured to "I travel to customers'' or "Customers travel to me and I travel to them," the service modal on the Business Setup > Services menu includes an "In-Store" and "Client's Location" checkbox to specify where the service can take place.
- The "Client's Location" checkbox will be checked by default for mobile businesses, and both checkboxes will be checked by default for businesses that provide both in-store and mobile services.
- For franchise businesses using global services, the services can be updated at the parent account level, while local services can only be updated at the child account level.
- We will include a service location selection on the booking widget if your location offers services that can be performed both in-store and at the client's location.
- When "In-Store" is selected on the online booking flow and a specific service is configured to only be available in-store, the service will be grayed out and the message "This service is not available in-store." appears.
- When "At Your Location" is selected the online booking flow and a specific service is configured to only be available in-store, the service will be grayed out and the message "This service is only available in-store." appears when you hover over it.
- Clients can add a mix of services to the cart when the service location filter is enabled. In other words, if "In-store" is chosen, the client will be able to add services that can be performed in-store but not services for the client's location. If the client chooses "At your location," they will be able to add services that can be performed at the client's location. When they proceed to the Time Picker page, we automatically remove services that cannot be performed at the client's last selected location.
Configure Services for In-Store vs Mobile
- Navigate to Business Setup > Services
- Add a service variation or select an existing service
- Scroll down to the "Location Availability" section on the service modal
- Select whether the service will be offered in-store, at the client's location, or both
- Enter the other relevant information and save
The services displayed in online booking will be filtered based on the service location.
