How to Set Up the Scheduler in Zibster
The Scheduler tool helps you manage bookings, availability, and client appointments directly from your Zibster account. Follow these steps to get your Scheduler ready for clients to book online.
STEP ONE
SET YOUR HOURS OF OPERATION
Start by telling the Scheduler when you're available. This defines your overall studio or booking hours.
-
These are your default available times for all services.
-
You can override this with a limited schedule for specific services (perfect for seasonal hours or special events).
