• Service remains in your list

Temporary Privacy

For seasonal services:

Visibility Best Practices

Review Regularly

• Check visibility when adding services
• Review after pricing changes

Clear Separation

• Don’t expose confusing options

Periodically test your booking page:

1. View as a client
2. Check what services appear
3. Verify descriptions and prices
4. Ensure desired services are public

Troubleshooting

Service Not Appearing on Booking Page

Check:

2. Is it linked to at least one calendar?
3. Does that calendar have availability?
4. Is online booking enabled?
