Create service variants
Learn how to add different pricing options for a single service, offering clients more choice using variants.
How service variants work
Service variants let you offer different versions of the same service, each with its own price and duration, such as Short hair or Long hair. Variants appear as options during booking, making it easy for clients to choose exactly what they need without navigating a long service list. All variants stay grouped under one main service, keeping your menu organised and helping you manage updates in one place.
If you need different pricing per team member or location, use advanced pricing.

FAQs
When you edit or delete a service variant, the existing appointments that include that variant stay exactly as they were booked, and the variant details remain attached to those appointments.
You can manage online or in-store booking availability for a service variant by adjusting the booking settings for the main service. Variants follow the same availability as their parent service. If you want a variant to have different availability, you can create a separate service to offer that option.
You can track a service variant in your reports by assigning it a SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) number. Open a service from your Service menu, select the relevant variant, then choose Settings from the left menu panel and enter the SKU number you want to use.
