Accept online bookings

Not only can clients discover you on the Fresha marketplace, but your regular clients can book with you directly from the places they already know and love, like your Instagram profile, Facebook page, Google search and maps, or even your own website.

So let's take a look at how to set these up.

Start by connecting Instagram and Facebook. With Fresha’s official integration, you can add a Book Now button straight to your business profiles so clients can book instantly.

Head to add-ons, then under Facebook and Instagram bookings, click on view to start setting up. Just click on enable to be redirected to Facebook. This is where you log in to connect your business account to Fresha.

Once logged in, choose your Facebook Business account and click next to continue. Here you can set the Facebook page and Instagram profile that you want to add a booking button to.

If you don't see a profile already, there's an option to add it. Then just continue here to allow the connection with Fresha.

Once everything's connected, you'll see a confirmation. And just like that, your book now buttons are live.

For example on your Facebook page, there's now a clear booking button. When clients tap this, they can book instantly without leaving your page.

It works just the same on your Instagram with a new booking action appearing on your profile.

Now let's take a look at how Fresha is officially integrated with Google. Clients can book straight from Google search and maps. If you already have a Google Business profile, there's no extra steps to set up.

Google automatically matches your online profile from the Fresha marketplace. When clients find your business on Google, they see a booking button that appears here alongside your business details. So when clients are searching online, you're right there, ready to get booked. It's a great way to fill your calendar.

But wait, that's not all.

You can also take bookings through your own website and anywhere else online with booking links. These are designed to take clients directly to your business, ready to book. Let's get set up.

Head to online booking, then select Link Builder. Here you'll see some options to create direct booking links. For example, here you can create a simple link to everything your clients can book or buy online. Just hit create link, then click on the copy icon to grab it.

There's also an option to get a QR code. It's perfect for displaying on your reception desk or your storefront window.

If you want to direct clients to book something more specific, like particular services or certain team members, you can create a custom link.

Now you've got your link and you can share it anywhere you like and add it to your website.

And that's it. You're now set up to take bookings online from all the places your clients already use, and because your online bookings are live 24/7, you're always ready to accept new appointments,

So start reaching more clients and let your calendar and sales take off.
