Add a service
Services are what you book: a full groom, a bath, a nail trim. Each one has a price and a length, which Packyard uses to fill the calendar.
- Go to Settings → Services.
- Click Add Service.
- Enter a Service Name, like “Full Grooming”.
- Pick a Category. If you don’t have one yet, click + New category, type a name, and click Add.
- Enter the Fee ($) and the Duration (minutes). Duration must be a whole number of minutes.
- Optional: add a Tax (%) and a Description.
- Optional: limit who the service is for. Pick an Animal Type and Breeds, or pick people under Staff (optional).
- Leave Active turned on.
- Click Add Service. You’ll see Service created successfully.
- Customers see active services when they book online, with the name, description, length, and price. Write the description for them.
- Animal type and breed limits: customers booking online only see the services set up for their pet. Staff can still book any service, but get a warning. A pet with no breed on file isn’t blocked by a breed limit.
- Staff limits: if you pick people under Staff (optional), you’ll see a warning when you book the service with someone else. You can still book it.
- To stop offering a service, open it, turn off Active, and click Update Service. It no longer shows up when you or your customers book.
- To delete a service, open it and click Delete, then confirm. A service that’s on any past or upcoming appointment can’t be deleted. Turn off Active instead.
- Changing a price can change the total of appointments already booked with that service, unless you gave that appointment its own price.
- Services are listed A–Z. You can’t reorder them.
- Only owners and staff can add or change services.
