Settings
Here you can make the following basic settings:

  • Member counter
  • Number of digits for contract number
  • Prefix of contract templates

Rest Periods
To be able to store rest periods for contracts for individual customers, they must first be created as a template. For each reason for rest period, you can specify whether it is contribution-free.

Acquisition Campaign
Store the promotional activities you conduct here. When entering a contract, you can then select these to keep statistics on where a contract came from.

Cancellation Reasons
Store the reasons for cancellation here. You can allow termination to be applied extraordinarily.

Create Contracts

After the function has been activated, you will find contract management in the customer overview. Click + New Contract Template to create a new contract and fill in the contract data.

Contract Name
Enter the name of the contract type you wish to add. This will be shown to you and your staff when you want to assign a contract to a customer.

Automatic Customer Status
You can specify that customers to whom this contract is assigned automatically receive a certain customer status. Using the customer status, you can control, for example, how many appointments a customer can book per week or which booking process is offered to them in online booking.

Contract Length, Notice Period, Renewal
Specify here how long the contract is valid. Select the type of time period (days, weeks, etc.) and enter the duration value.

Contribution Frequency and Payment Frequency

Customer File: Appointments

In each customer file you can view the past and future appointments of a customer in the Appointments menu item.

The prerequisite for this is that you select existing customers from the suggestion list in the Appointment entry. Only this way will new appointments be added to the existing customer file.

Open Appointments
In the Open Appointments submenu item you can view all appointments of the customer in the future.

Appointment Archive
In the Appointment Archive submenu item you can view all appointments of the customer in the past.

Deleted Appointments
If you are missing an appointment for the customer in the calendar, you can click on Show deleted appointments in both the list of open appointments and in the appointment archive to view the deleted appointments as well.

For more information on Appointment search click here.

If you want to track exactly which employee created, modified, or deleted an appointment at what time, activate the Employee PIN function

Custom Times

Special settings allow you to specify your own times for each customer for your services.


You can access this area via Settings > Customer-Specific Times
If this function is not activated, it can be activated via "Settings > Add Function".


Example of application:
For customer Maria Sommer, you need a bit longer for the "Ladies' Haircut & Blow Dry" service due to her very long, thick hair. You can specify the time deviation in the customer file so that appointments booked for this customer in the future will always take a bit longer.



Creating customer-specific times

Brief explanation via video

More detailed explanation
After the function has been activated, select the service in the submenu Special Settings for which you want to add an exception and click "Add Exception" in the corresponding line.

Then add a time deviation to the desired steps.


Note that the entered time is added to the original length.
A step that is specified as 30 minutes in your service settings will be extended by 10 minutes if you enter "10" in the input field. The step will then be 40 minutes long for this customer.
If you enter "-10", the step will be shortened to 20 minutes.


Here you can define special time exceptions that apply exclusively to this customer.

  • For customers who need less time, simply write e.g. -15
  • If a team member is selected here, this service will only be entered for this person, regardless of which team member is selected online.
  • We recommend always storing "assigned employee" here.
