About Last-minute offers

Last-minute offers help you fill gaps in your Calendar by offering automatic discounts on online appointments booked shortly before they start. For example, offer 15% off selected services when clients book within an hour of the appointment start time to fill an empty slot.

Choose the discount, how close to the appointment time clients must book to qualify, and which services and team members the offer applies to. Clients will automatically see the discounted price when booking online within your chosen window.
