On the dashboard, next to your event you'll see a button that says 'Add a Booking'. This lets you add a booking without creating a checked out Shopify order to accommodate people who book with you outside of the system (Email, Phone, etc.)
Click ‘Add a Booking’
Fill out the customer information
Select a time
Click Book
Now the customer will receive an email for the booking and block off that timeslot, just as if it were a customer booking.
What’s the difference between a manual and customer booking?
If you're using the Shopify checkout, the manual booking contains no order ID and a customer booking would contain the order ID. If you're skipping the Shopify checkout, then it would be the same type of booking.
What if I want to select a custom time outside my availability
Go to Add a Booking, click 'Select a Custom Time' to allow you to book at any time with any availability
Can I use this for testing bookings?
Absolutely! We recommend you do a manual booking to test it out yourself.
