Wix Bookings
What is Wix Bookings?
Wix Bookings is a comprehensive online appointment and schedule management system built into the Wix platform. It is designed for service-based businesses: from fitness trainers and consultants to beauty salons and repair shops. The service allows clients to view available times and book services 24/7 directly on the website. For the business owner, it is a centralized dashboard for managing staff calendars, customer bases, payment processing, and automated reminders. The platform supports various types of services: one-on-one appointments, group classes, courses, and workshops, making it a flexible solution for a wide range of entrepreneurs.
How to use Wix Bookings in your work?
Integrating Wix Bookings begins with adding the app to your Wix site. After that, you set up your services: create descriptions, set durations, and prices. Then, you define the working hours for yourself and your staff, syncing their calendars (e.g., Google Calendar) to avoid double bookings. The next step is connecting payment systems like Wix Payments to accept deposits or full payments online. Clients see a widget with your services on the site, choose a convenient time and specialist, and book immediately. CEOs and business owners use the dashboard to analyze booking statistics, manage staff, and track revenue. The Wix Owner mobile app allows you to manage bookings and communicate with clients from anywhere.
What advantages does Wix Bookings provide and what problems does it solve?
The main advantage of Wix Bookings is the complete automation of the booking process. The service solves the problem of constant phone calls and messages to coordinate appointments, freeing up administrative resources. It significantly reduces no-shows thanks to automatic email and SMS reminders to clients. The task of accepting online payments is easily solved, which guarantees revenue even before the service is provided. The platform also helps manage memberships and service packages (via Wix Pricing Plans), which promotes client retention. For creators conducting online courses or webinars, integration with Zoom allows for the automatic creation of links for online meetings. Ultimately, Wix Bookings transforms a website from a simple brochure into a full-fledged tool for running and growing a service business.
How to Integrate Wix Bookings with other services?
Wix Bookings is tightly integrated with the Wix ecosystem. Each booking automatically creates or updates a contact in Wix CRM. Wix Payments is used for payment processing. With Wix Automations, you can set up complex action chains, for example, sending a follow-up email a week after the service. For selling courses and memberships, it works in conjunction with Wix Pricing Plans. External integrations include syncing with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook, as well as connecting to Zoom for online services. Through Zapier, you can connect Bookings with thousands of other apps, for instance, to add clients to specialized marketing platforms.
