Guide Using VoltsBook

The user guide.

Every topic names the screen it teaches, so you can read with one hand and click with the other. The little ⓘ marks inside the panel land on these same pages.

Setting up

Services

Services, prices and durations

Your service list is the menu your booking page offers, so everything here — the price, the duration, the buffers — decides what customers can actually book.

Availability

Opening hours, days off and blocked times

Three layers decide when you can be booked: the weekly schedule, whole days off, and blocked stretches inside a day. They stack — the most specific wins.

Staff

Your team: staff, logins and permissions

A staff member is who delivers the work; a login is how they sign in; permissions decide what a login can see and touch. The three are separate on purpose.

Overview · Settings → Appearance

Your booking page and how to share it

Every business gets a booking page at its own address the day it signs up. Share the link, embed it in a site, and shape which steps customers walk through.

Settings → Booking forms

Asking your own questions at booking

The things you need to know before someone arrives — car model, allergy, gate code — asked at booking instead of over the phone the morning of.

Settings → Calendar & meetings

Google and Outlook calendars, and video meetings

Bookings appear in the calendar your team already lives in, and busy time in that calendar stops customers booking over it. Video links can be created automatically.

Settings → Team permissions

Roles and what each login can see

A role is a bundle of permissions you name once and reuse. It decides which screens a login can open and, separately, whether they see everybody’s records or only their own.

Settings → Plan & billing

Your plan, billing and credits

What your plan includes, what it costs, and how you pay for it — plus the balance that text messages are drawn from.

Every day

Settings → Booking rules

Booking rules: notice, limits and confirmation

The rules screen decides which times the page offers and what happens at the edges — late-night bookings, fully-booked days, customers who book too much.

Appointments

Working the appointments list

The list is the day’s ledger. Click a status chip to change it, a payment chip to take money, a row to open the full editor — most of the day happens without leaving this screen.

An appointment → Check-in tab

The check-in packet: photos, signatures and agreement

A check-in is your paper trail for a job: condition photos, notes, the customer’s signature over your terms — finished as a PDF the customer keeps.

The install banner · your browser’s menu

Put VoltsBook on your phone

The panel installs as an app — full screen, its own icon, no browser chrome. Nothing to download from a store.

Customers

Customers: history, notes and their own account

Every booking builds a customer record without anyone typing one. The screen is where you find somebody fast, see what they have had done, and keep the notes that make the next visit better.

Waiting list

The waiting list

When a day is full, customers can leave their name instead of leaving. A cancellation tells the first person in line — which turns a gap you would have eaten into a booking.

Money

Payments · an appointment → Payment tab

Taking money: payments, links and invoices

Money can arrive four ways: online at booking, a payment link sent later, a card or cash at the counter, and gift cards or packages a customer already holds.

Reports

Reports and exports

What the business actually did, over a window you choose — takings, appointments, staff, services — with a CSV of anything you would rather read in a spreadsheet.

Products

Products and stock

The things you sell alongside the work — retail bottles, aftercare kits, consumables. Stock counts down as they sell and the booking page can offer them as an upsell.

Pricing rules

Coupons, taxes, gift cards and surcharges

Everything that changes a price between the menu and the receipt, in one place — and in a fixed order, so the same booking always totals the same way.

Invoice templates

Invoices

A proper PDF invoice for a booking, in your own layout with your logo and your numbering, generated the moment somebody asks for one.

Staying in touch

Workflows

Notifications: ready-made and custom

Twenty ready-made notifications cover the whole journey — booked, reminders, rescheduled, cancelled, paid, follow-up — as switches. The builder is there when you outgrow them.

Building on the API instead?

The developer reference documents every /v1 endpoint from the server's own contract, and the embed page puts the booking widget on any website with one line.
