Vagaro Features Included in Your Base Subscription

Personal Tasks: Block off time in your schedule for sick days, vacations, holidays, lunch breaks, and any special meetings or tasks that need to be completed. You can disable online booking during the time frame a personal task is set and create recurring tasks, repeating them daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.

Daily Plan: View or print out the appointment schedule for a specific day. You can print out a less detailed schedule to see the appointment summary or a more detailed report for additional information, such as the customer's previous appointments, notes, and product purchases.

Timeline: View the events of an appointment or class, including its date, duration, the service that was added to the booking, the employee who provided the service, and if there were any updates or changes to the appointment.

Waitlist: Add customers to a waitlist if their desired timeslot is unavailable or allow customers to add themselves to a waitlist. Once a spot becomes available, you can quickly fill it with the waitlisted customer to maximize your appointment schedule and increase your earnings by quickly filling in last-minute cancellations. You can manually create a waitlist from the Calendar or use one of our automated options to notify a customer when a spot opens up automatically.

Gap Processing Time: Split a service into two blocks of time so you can take additional appointments during a service when a customer doesn't need your attention. For example, while you're waiting for a customer's hair to set or a facial treatment to take effect, you can take in a walk-in customer so you can maximize your schedule.

Lead Time: Limit how soon a customer can book an online appointment or class before the requested start time. For example, if you set a 60-minute lead time, the customer must book at least 60 minutes before the service, giving you enough time to respond to a request.

Set Appointment Intervals: Specify the number of minutes between the available timeslots on your Vagaro Listing Page. For example, if you set the value to 15, then customers would see available appointment times listed as 9:00, 9:15, 9:30, 9:45, and so on.

Online Appointment Rules: Set your online booking rules, including waitlist options, refund policies for customers making prepayments on your booking page, and cancellation, no-show, and rescheduling policies. You can also set a requirement to accept or deny a customer's request to book online with the business. This is especially helpful in deterring clients who don't adhere to your cancellation policies and cancel bookings frequently.

View Multiple Calendars: Display up to 25 employees' calendars at once for the current day so you can see everyone's schedules at a glance.

Access Levels: Set up customizable permissions and roles to limit or restrict employees from viewing and editing specific Vagaro features.

HIPAA Compliance: Ensure your customer notifications are HIPAA compliant if your business requires it. Customers will only see the date and time of their appointments.

Mobile Services: Configure and specify which services can be performed at a customer's home or another location outside of your business's location. You can block off time before and after an appointment to allow for time to travel from a customer's location and charge an additional cost for providing the service off-site.

Multi-Location: Add additional businesses and locations to your Vagaro account. You'll be able to share various account details such as customer information, gift cards, packages, memberships, and points between the different locations and easily toggle between the businesses.

Safe IP Address: Restrict the IP addresses you allow to log into and access your business account, such as at your business location, your home, and your employees' locations.

Payroll Reporting: Track and manage employee pay rates, create custom commission tiers, and view reports on your business's payroll. If you charge rent, payments are also shown in the report. To pay your employees directly via direct deposit and track their paid time off, consider Vagaro Payroll*.

Rent and Fee Collection: Set up and manage renters and contractors. The process can be managed by text and email to add payment information and sign contracts so you can charge and collect rent directly from contractors and booth renters and track payments in your payroll. The process includes

Customer Retention: Track your client types and service providers being booked to identify the best strategies for increasing your client base. Run a report to see how many new and returning customers visited your business and which service providers were requested the most.

For example, you can add a general tag such as VIP to designate specific profiles on the VIP list, run a filtered Customer List Report, and offer preset discounts to customers with a specific tag.

Notifications and Reminders: Keep customers updated about their upcoming appointments with confirmations and reminders via text messages and/or emails. These messages can be HIPAA-compliant if your business requires it.

Loyalty Points and Rewards: Offer reward points to your customers that they can redeem for products and services. Clients can collect points when they book classes and services or purchase products, memberships, and packages. They can then use these points to redeem items if their total points exceed the redeeming value. If customers don't have enough points, you can allow them to pay the remainder using another payment method.
