Take bookingsfrom your page

With a Bookings block, visitors pick a service and a time you're free, and the meeting goes straight into your Google Calendar with a Google Meet link. Bookings can be free or paid.

Set it up

1. Connect your calendar. In the editor, open Settings › Earn › Calendar and connect Google Calendar. Bookings use your main calendar. If your Google account has more than one calendar, choose which one under Calendar for bookings: it's checked for conflicts and gets new bookings.
2. Add services. On the Services page in your dashboard, choose Add a service. Give it a Name, an optional Description and a Length.
3. Set your hours. On the same page, under Weekly hours, set your Timezone, the days and hours people can book, and a Gap between meetings if you want breathing room. Choose Save hours.
4. Add the block. In the editor, choose Add a block, then Bookings. You can change the button's words and the line under it.

Busy times in your calendar are always left out, so visitors only see times that are really free. Visitors can book a limited time ahead, and not at very short notice.

Free and paid bookings

A service is free unless you give it a price. The Price field appears once Stripe is connected; leave it empty for free. Paid services have a small minimum price.

For a paid booking, the visitor pays through Stripe Checkout before it's booked, and the time is held for them while they pay. If someone else takes that time in the meantime, they're refunded in full automatically.

How visitors book

1. They tap your Bookings button and pick a service.
2. They choose a day and a time.
3. They add their name, email and an optional note, then choose Confirm booking, or Continue to payment for a paid service.
4. They get a Google Calendar invite with the Meet link, and a confirmation email from Hiyaly.

Cancelling and rescheduling

The visitor's confirmation includes a link to manage their booking, where they can Reschedule or Cancel booking. Choose how close to the start they can still do this under Settings › Earn › Calendar › Visitors can cancel or reschedule. After that, they're asked to contact you. A paid booking cancelled in time is refunded in full.

Every booking is on the Bookings page, under Upcoming and Past. From a booking's menu you can email the visitor, open the Meet link, cancel it, or mark a past one as a no-show. If you move or delete a booking's event in Google Calendar, Hiyaly follows the change.
