You\u2019ll need to provide a bit of information about your business and the services you want your customers to book. After that, just click the Save and publish button<\/strong> in the booking page tab to publish your scheduling web page. Your customers will now be able to start booking appointments with your business. It\u2019s that easy!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
