Define the service before the time slot
State duration, price or quote requirements and what the customer needs to prepare. Separate services that take different amounts of time so availability can reflect the work involved.
Appointment booking websites for service businesses
Give every appointment a clear next step.
A useful service website explains what the appointment includes and how a time is confirmed. Start with clear service information, then choose between staff-handled enquiries and an online booking flow.
Build and edit free. An active eligible plan is required to publish.
Make the page useful
What your visitors need to know
Decide who confirms the appointment
With contact links, your team checks availability and confirms the time. ShopFront's separate booking capability offers a service-and-time selection flow; check availability and plan requirements on the E-Commerce page.
Explain changes and cancellations
Publish the business's own cancellation and rescheduling rules before a customer commits. Keep staff availability and service details current, and test the complete customer flow before launch.

Build it with ShopFront
Choose a template, add your business content and preview the result. Keep later edits in a draft until you are ready to publish them.
Start with the page allowance you need. Review current plans for publishing, custom-domain and email entitlements before choosing your setup.
Compare current plansQuestions before you start
Does a WhatsApp enquiry reserve an appointment?
No. A contact link opens a conversation. Your team needs to confirm the appointment unless the customer has completed an available online booking flow.
Can I build the service website before enabling bookings?
Yes. Create the service pages and contact path first. Review the E-Commerce page for booking availability before offering customers online time-slot selection.
