Overview: What are we talking about?
This article will describe how to set up your individual grooming services.
Helpful Hints: Before you begin.
- In Gingr, Grooming services are set up as Additional Services. Services like a Full Groom, Mini Groom, Face Feet & Fanny, Bath & Brush, etc. are all set up as Additional Services, not reservation types. Then, any add-on options that are available for these services, for example, Nail Trim, Ear Cleaning, Gland Expression, Teeth Brushing, etc., will bet set up as Service Options.
- If you have not yet, take a moment to list out the Grooming services you offer and how they fit into this concept of Top Level Services and Add-On Services.
- You should already have a reservation type that is generically called “Grooming Services” and we will now create the specific type of grooming services that will be scheduled with that reservation type.
Set it Up: Let's get started.
Step 1: Set up the additional service
- Navigate to Left-hand Navigation: Admin » Reservation Types and Services Configuration.
- Locate your Grooming Services booking category and reservation type.
- Click Manage Services, select Create a new Additional Service and configure the following fields:
