Organize services into categories
Categories are how a 20-service menu reads like a menu instead of a list. They group your Services page and your booking page the same way, so what your team sees is what clients see.
Who can do this: Owner, Admin, or Manager.
Set a service's category
- In the left sidebar, click Services.
- Click Edit beneath the service.
- Type the Category: "Skin," "Hair," "Medspa," whatever fits your menu. Same spelling as its siblings, or it becomes a new group.
- Click Save changes. The service moves to that category's card.
Rename a whole category
Categories exist through their services, so renaming is editing each member:
- On Services, work through the category's services one by one.
- Change each Category to the new name and save.
- When the last one moves, the old group disappears on its own.
Example. Golden Coast started with "Facials" and outgrew it. They edit their six facial services to "Skin," and both the Services page and the booking page now read Skin, Medspa, Hair. No empty "Facials" group left behind.
Common questions
- What happens with a blank category? The service files under "Other." Fine for one or two oddballs, sloppy as a strategy.
- How many categories should I run? Three to six. Clients skim your booking page; fifteen groups is a wall, not a menu.
- Two spellings made two groups? "Skin" and "skin care" are different strings, so yes. Pick one spelling and edit the strays; the groups merge as the strings match.
- Can I control the order categories appear in? Not directly today; keep the names short and clear and the grouping does the work.
Good to know
- Categories are labels, not settings: they change nothing about price, duration, or eligibility. Reorganizing is always safe.
- The booking page groups by exactly these names, so client-facing spelling matters ("Medspa" beats "med_spa").
