Choose a template

You can choose from three different scheduler templates:

  • Monthly - Displays a calendar on the left, with the times for the selected day on the right. This template is recommended if your clients are booking appointments more than a week in advance. 
  • Daily - Displays the next five days you're available, with the time slots listed below. This template is recommended if your clients want to book appointments as soon as possible. 
  • Classes - If all of your classes are public, and you don't offer any packages, gift certificates, or subscriptions, use this template to prioritize upcoming availability.

Group appointment types into categories

Appointment type categories group similar appointment types together on the scheduling page. You can embed a specific appointment type category on your website, or send clients direct links to that category's appointments.

Update calendar details 

When selecting a calendar to book with, clients will see the calendar name, description, and location if you set one. You can edit the calendar information in your calendar settings. If you have multiple calendars, you can also add an image for each calendar.

Use calendar pooling

If you have more than one calendar, use calendar pooling to decide if clients can choose a specific calendar to book with. You can also enable them to book any available appointment time. Learn more about pooling calendar availability

Advanced customization options

You can set the amount of time between appointment start times with your start time interval scheduling limit, or set your availability to only offer specific start times. Acuity will show all available times for each day, unless you've hidden some of your availability using the look busy or minimize gaps settings. 

You can also enable clients to schedule more than one appointment at a time, or schedule several repeating appointments.
