The app has a short setup guide that creates your first service for you. It takes about two minutes. When you finish, customers can book it on your store.
Create the service
-
In your Shopify admin, open Apps > Easy Appointment Booking.
-
On the Dashboard, click New Event or Service.
-
Choose what you are creating, then click Continue:
- Paid service — customers pay when they book.
- Free booking — customers book without paying.
- Booking package — customers buy several sessions at once. Needs the Pro Plus plan or higher. This opens the package setup instead of the steps below. See Sell packages of sessions.
-
Type a name for your service, such as "60-minute massage". Click Continue.
-
Under Appointment length, pick a length. To use a different length, click Custom and type the minutes.
-
Choose One-on-one (one customer per time slot) or Group (several customers per slot). For Group, set how many people can book the same slot. Click Continue.
-
Choose when customers can book, then click Continue:
- A one-off event — one date and time, such as a workshop.
- On a few specific days — pick the exact dates.
- On a set schedule — the same days every week, such as every Tuesday and Thursday.
- Set it up myself — pick a schedule you already made, or make a new one.
The first three choices fill in sample hours for you, such as weekdays 9:00 AM–5:00 PM. You change them to your real hours after setup. For one-off events, see Offer a one-time event or specific dates.
-
Link the service to a Shopify product:
- Create one for me — the app makes a new product for you. This is the fastest choice.
- Link an existing product — pick a product you already have.
-
Click Create my calendar. On a Shopify Plus store, the app first asks if you want an onboarding call with our team. Choose an answer, then click Create my calendar.
You can change the length, group size, and schedule later. Open the service from the Dashboard.
Turn on the app in your theme
The first time you create a service, you may see One last step: Turn on the app embed. Your service exists, but customers cannot see it until you do this. You only do it once.
- Click Enable app embed. Your theme editor opens in a new tab.
- Make sure Appointment Booking is switched on, then click Save.
- Go back to the app tab and click I've enabled it.
Check your store
When you see Your calendar is live!, click View it on your store. The product page shows a Select a time button where Add to cart used to be.
The same screen shows Your booking link. Click Copy to share it with customers, for example in an email or on social media.
If the button is missing, see Getting the calendar to appear.
If you linked an existing product
A product you made yourself may have two Shopify settings that hide the calendar. Open the product in Products and check that:
- Track quantity is turned off. If it is on and the quantity reaches zero, the page shows Sold out.
- The product status is Active, not Draft.
Products made with Create one for me already have these settings.
What to do next
The last screen lists four quick things to finish. Each one has its own guide:
- Set your availability
- Connect Google Calendar
- Add intake questions
- Make a test booking: open Bookings and click Add a booking.
