Creating an Event with multiple services

The Services Setup feature lets you offer multiple appointment types — each with its own duration — under a single event. This is especially useful for businesses like health & wellness providers, photo studios, auto shops, and law offices.

Example use cases:

• A photo studio offering 20-minute headshots and 40-minute family sessions
• An auto shop scheduling 30-minute oil changes and 60-minute brake jobs
• A law office offering 15-minute consultations and 45-minute client meetings

Step 1: Create a New Event

1. Go to the pickAtime dashboard.
2. Create a new Normal event.

Step 2: Create Time Slots (Using Your Shortest Duration)

1. Click Go To Event, then select the Appointments tab.
2. Create your time slots using the shortest service duration you offer.

Example: If you offer both 20-minute and 40-minute services, create all base slots as 20 minutes. Longer services will later combine multiple slots (see Step 3).

Step 3: Set Up Services

1. Go to Settings → Services Setup.
2. Click the green + to add a new service.
3. Enter a description, and specify how many base slots this service should occupy.

Example: If your base slot is 20 minutes and this service takes 40 minutes, enter 2 in the Slots column.

The system will automatically reserve the correct number of consecutive slots for longer services, preventing overbooking.

Step 4: Customize Service Details

For each service, add a clear name and brief description so participants can easily identify it when booking.

What Participants See

1. On the scheduling site, participants first select a service from a drop-down list.
2. They click Filter Slots.
3. Only time slots that fit the selected service's duration will appear as bookable.
