Learn how to get the most out of Groomer.io with services and variations using Groomer.io's smart breed logic.
This guide will show you how to create services by using variations, which is a unique feature that tailors to your grooming business.
Groomer.io has a stored list of all breeds defined by their size and coat types. This allows you to set your pricing specific to "Small Breeds" versus "Large Breeds". You can even define these further such as "Small Breeds with a Long Coat."
This logic allows you to add a breed to each pet, and their specific pricing will always be used for their appointments. Not only does this save time and ensure proper pricing, but it also simplifies the online booking process for your customer. Instead of having a long list of services to scroll through, they would only see your main services listed, such as Full Groom, Bath, and Spa Day.
Add a New Service
-From the More page, select Services.
-Select the red "+" in the top right corner.
-Give your service a title such as "Full Groom" or "Bath."
-Press Next to add an optional abbreviation that is used throughout the app.
-Press Next to add a description of your service. Customers can view this description from your Online Scheduling page.
-Press Next to select a standard duration for this service. You can always adjust this manually per pet.
-Press Next to select yes to Show on the Calendar, this will allow you to see a quick overview of how many Full Grooms or Baths on a given day to help avoid overbooking. This is where you will see your abbreviations for each service. You may choose to keep this option off for something small like a Nail Trim.
-Press Next to complete your Service setup, and then select Done to save.
Adding Variations
-Tap on the Service you just created, and select Variations. Or tap on the 3 horizontal lines on the far right of the Service, and tap on the red + in the top right corner.
-Tap on Size to create your first Variation. For Example, we will choose Small, and leave the option open to "Any" Coat type. This is telling our system that any Small Breed with Any Coat type will cost $X.XX. You can set the price to $55, for example. Another example would be to Select Small, and under Coat select Hairless Smooth and Short to specify pricing for any small breed with a short coat.
-Estimated Duration would be set to the standard time for this service
-Title your Service (such as "Full Groom - Small")
-Tap on Facilities and select your Facility
-Select Done to save
-Repeat these steps for as many variations as you need to create
