How to Set Scheduler Policies in Zibster
The Policies section of your Zibster Scheduler allows you to define your booking and cancellation rules. You can control how far in advance clients can book appointments, whether they can cancel online, and how much notice is required for cancellations.
These settings help you manage your schedule efficiently and set clear expectations for your clients.
STEP ONE
Log into your Zibster account and click SCHEDULER in the left-side menu.
STEP TWO
At the top center of your Scheduler control panel, click POLICIES.
