Here, you can create your booking space layout and start assigning your categories.
The Booking & Event Center is the virtual storefront where users explore all your offerings appointments, classes, events, or services. Think of it as your app’s hub for scheduling and engagement: once built, users can browse, filter by category, and book directly in one unified place. This helps reduce friction and guides users from discovery to conversion.
You have two ways to launch your booking/event hub: via the Marketplace builder interface or by enabling it directly in the Booking & Event Center component. Both paths lead to a flexible layout where you control how services are presented, ensuring your app’s look and feel stays consistent with your brand.
🛠️ Implementation
You can use two methods to do so:
- You can access the market section from the admin menu, click ‘Add New Marketplace’ and start designing your booking space.
- Or, you can go back to the booking & event center component and click ‘Setup.’
Once in setup mode, the layout builder shows your service cards; you can rearrange, prioritize, or hide any offerings. Assign each card a category (for example, ‘Workshops,’ ‘Consultations,’ or ‘Memberships’), then click ‘Select.’ The result is an interactive hub where users can instantly find what they need without navigating through multiple screens.
When you’re done choosing your preferred cards, tap ‘Select.’
And assign the card’s category, and click ‘Done.’
And don’t forget to add your booking center name and click ‘Save App Config’ once done.
Choose a clear and memorable name so users instantly understand what this section does (‘Book Now,’ ‘Events & Appointments,’ ‘Reserve Services’). Once published, changes you make (like adding new categories or events) are reflected in real time in the app; no code changes are needed.
