It's important to note the following points before starting to code:
You must upgrade your site to a Premium Business Plan in order to accept bookings and receive payments.
To process bookings on your site, first set up your site to accept bookings as described in About Wix Bookings.
Resource: A business asset like a staff member, a room, or equipment needed to provide a service.
Booking: Information about an order placed by a customer for a service or series of services. Includes details about the time, location, participants, and price.
Service: A business offering that you can book. For example, a fitness studio may offer a 1-hour yoga class, a 45 minute HIIT training session, and a 30 minute 1-on-1 personal training. Wix Bookings offers 3 types of services:
Appointment: A specific time slot that a customer can book in a calendar.
Class: A single session or a set of sessions that are offered on specific days and at specific times.
Course: A multi-session course, or a workshop that starts and ends on a particular day. Customers sign up for the entire course and not one session.
Sessions: A reserved period of time for an appointment, class, or course, or a period of availability for a resource.
Schedule: A collection of sessions and the information needed to calculate availability.
Slot: An available period of time in a schedule that can be booked by a customer. While this includes existing sessions that are available for booking, it can also represent a period of time that can be booked based on the availability of a resource (for example, a barber with appointments of 30 minutes each that are open for booking every weekday between 8:00 - 17:00). These slots are calculated by the constraints of the schedule.
Calendar: Where you schedule appointments, classes, and courses.
Membership plans with Wix Pricing Plans: A prepaid bundle of services, or a membership
including access to certain services. Access a member's pricing plans with APIs by
calling the checkoutBooking()
function.
