Content

When defining service offerings in Microsoft Bookings, users can set service names, descriptions, locations (in person or online), duration, default reminders to customers and staff, internal notes about the service, and pricing. Users are also able to tag the employees who are qualified to provide the service. When customers come to the business website to book an appointment, they are able to see exactly what types of appointments are available, choose the person they want to provide the service to, and how much their service will cost.

Users can now add customized information or URLs to the email confirmation and are also able to add reminders that are sent when someone books a service through your booking page.
