Running a service business across multiple locations can be a challenge. Customers need a simple way to book appointments at their preferred branch, and you need reliable reporting to keep track of performance. Easy Appointment Booking makes it easy to manage multiple locations on Shopify — whether you run everything through a single storefront or use multiple Shopify stores. In this post, we’ll explain your options, provide examples, and highlight the trade-offs so you can pick the right setup for your business.
Yes. With Easy Appointment Booking, you can:
Both options let you track bookings and generate reports, but the setup depends on how your business operates. Let's start with the most common approach, under one Shopify store.
If you want to keep all your services under a single storefront, Shopify variants make this easy.
If the customer selects one location (by variant) then only that specific calendar will show up once you click "Select a Time". This helps customers navigate by knowing their location first.
A salon with 3 branches in one city runs everything from one Shopify store. Customers select their preferred branch before choosing a time. Example
A collection of events means instead of one event per variant, these would be one event per product. This gives you flexibility in how you want the locations to be shown to customers.
By default these would be different products. So if housed under one Collection View, you could use that to surface these as services across multiple locations
A jewelry studio with branches across different cities uses different products to guide customers to their services. Example
With two separate products, you can add these events to different widgets that invite customers to book
Example of the event collection view below
Delegating to staff is a challenge - how do you ensure permissions, data security, and ensuring sensitive information isn't strewn across anyone accessing the app? That's where the Team Portal comes in. This llets your team members login and manage their own bookings outside of Shopify.
1. Each team member has their own access.
2. Your Shopify credentials do not have to be shared.
3. Saves you time by delegating scheduling and booking management to your team.
No matter which setup you choose, reporting is a strength of Easy Appointment Booking. You’ll get:
With this data, you can optimize staffing, plan marketing, and grow revenue across all your locations.
In summary
The Collection View & Widgets provide flexibility to invite customers to book
The Team Portal helps you delegate to staff and locations
The Reporting helps you track and measure your operations
Either way, Easy Appointment Booking gives you the flexibility to scale your service business while keeping reporting simple.
