Question 2

How to add calendar to the pages on my store

Accepted Answer

A calendar defines hours when a particular product can be booked. Products assigned to different calendars can be booked in the same time slots.

Use different calendars, if an appointment created for one product doesn’t affect availability of another product. For example, for product rentals, you can create separate product calendars. For services performed by different team members, you can create a calendar for each person.

Select the site pages on which the calendar will be displayed and Appointment type - It’s a type of service you provide, e.g. a beard trim or a massage session. For each page, you can create a separate appointment type or choose from already created ones.

You can choose where to show the calendar:

Product pages (specific ones),
Shopify pages (for example, homepage)
Custom pages.
