SERVICES
You can go directly to the page that controls your services on GigaBook.com here: GigaBook.com Services Page
GigaBook allows each account owner to customize the services offered within the account. Each service will have a unique name, description, price, preparation time, and duration. The service will also have the option of being hidden in the mini-site or external booking widget . Hiding your service will make those service viewable only to yourself and your service providers.
Each service will also need providers assigned who will be made available to take appointments for this particular service. Maximizing the full information for each service will give the clients the best possible knowledge about the offering for each service. This information is important, as it will be used to block off appropriate amounts of time and offer the appropriate service providers who have the ability to provide this service to any potential clients.

- Next, add the price. This is an optional field and you can choose to add it or omit it. Adding the price will make it viewable to clients booking your services on the mini-site or external booking widgets.The duration will be how long it will take to actually complete the service.
- Preparation time is the time needed after the appointment to prepare for the next appointment. For example, if you need 15 minutes to clean after the first appointment, the next available time slot would be 15 minutes after the completion of the original appointment.
- Hide this Service on my Mini-Site and Widgets – This determines whether or not the service you are adding is able to be seen publicly on your mini-site or through your booking widgets.
