Before We Begin: 

When it comes to setting up appointment-based services, we will have to consider a few things:

• The Reservation Type will be used more like a category. When creating appointment based reservation types, give them high-level names like "Full Service Grooming" or "Spa Services". Be sure the rate is set to $0.
• Additional Services will then be connected to these reservation types. These services will hold price and scheduling information. Services should have a descriptive name such as “Full Service Grooming | Small”, “Full Service Grooming | Medium”, “Spa | Full Groom”, “Spa | Bath & Brush”, etc.
• Use Service Options to add additional offerings (Add-On's) connected to Additional Services such as "Specialty Shampoos", "Handling Fees", "Treats", etc.
