Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between Service Types and Services?

A: Service Types are broad categories, like Dog Grooming or Dog Boarding, while Services are the more specific bookable offerings from those types, complete with pricing, duration, venue, and attendant assignments.

 

Q: Where do I actually set up pricing, duration, and venue for a specific service?

A: Not here — Service Types only cover the broad categories. Head to the Services page to configure those specifics.

 

Q: What happens when I switch a service type to Inactive?

A: It's no longer available to add to an appointment, but it stays in your list so you can switch it back to Active anytime.

 

Q: Can I upload an image for a service type after I've already created it?

A: Yes. Click Edit next to that service type to reveal its Name and image fields, update the image, then click Add to save.

 

Q: I deleted a service type by mistake. Can I get it back?

A: No. Deleting a service type is permanent — that's why the system asks you to confirm before it's removed.

A: You can ask any question at the number listed here. Contact our support team at (323) 370-0738 for the U.S. and (888) 370-2363 for Canada.
