How do Online Requests work?

Learn more about Online Requests and how it could help your scheduling process.

Online Requests

This option allows your customer to only request a given day and time range for an appointment. They do not have the option to request a specific time or a specific groomer under this scheduling style. You will be required to confirm, deny, or change this appointment request. You can customize your time ranges or times customers can request. Please note that when utilizing online requests, the customer does not select a service, they simply request an appointment time. If you would like customers to be able to select a specific time for a service, you will want to explore online booking. We can always add a note to your scheduling page that asks them to leave which service they are looking for in the notes section of the request. 
This is the default setting for your Online Scheduling. If you are currently on Online Booking and would like to switch your online scheduling to online request reach out to support@groomer.io and we can assist you with getting this setup.
