Create a Service - Web Version – Vagaro Support

A service is an item (work) an employee provides for a single client. Examples of services include a women's haircut, a shave, or a massage. From the Services/Classes Menu, you can add Vagaro services or create custom services unique to your business.

You can also do the following:

Select to hide services or show the service and its price on your booking page.
Show the starting point for prices. This lets the customer see the lowest service price on your listing page. This is helpful if you have services that have varying prices.
Add Cleanup Time.
Apply Add-Ons.

Prerequisites

Available for all Vagaro businesses.

How to Add a Vagaro or Custom Service

Navigate to Settings → Service/Class Menu.
Select the Services tab. Click the green Add button. Then select Service.
Select Vagaro Service or Custom Service.

Note

If you selected Custom Service, skip to step 4.
1. For Vagaro Services, scroll through the Vagaro Services list, or use the Search box to find the service to add. Then click Save.
2. Once created, click the Action menu (3 vertical dots) on the Vagaro Service and select Edit.
Click Choose File in the upload area to add a new image to the service, or drag an image from your computer onto the upload box.

Note

The maximum file size is 4 MB. Picture dimensions should be approximately 798px (wide) x 894px (high).

The image opens in the Vagaro Image Editor, where you can add filters and effects and change the image's orientation, size, and cropping. See Vagaro Image Editor for details.
Enter a Service Name (if applicable) and Description.
Click the Resource drop-down menu to select resources for the service. A resource is a room or tool required to perform a service.

For example, you can add chairs, rooms, or equipment. Click Add New Resource to create additional resources for the service.

Remember, multiple resources can be used for a service.
Enter the Business Cost (expense for providing the service,) then select up to four Taxes from the Tax drop-down menu.

Remember, if you haven't already, you can create taxes from the Taxes & Checkout page. See Using the Taxes & Checkout Page for more information.
Click Modify to apply add-ons to the service.

Select Add-Ons, then click Assign to confirm.

To learn more about add-ons, see Managing and Creating Add-Ons for Services/Classes.
Toggle and apply settings for services.

Note

The options below are optional and can be skipped.
- Toggle Live Stream for a service performed virtually. You will need to activate Vagaro Live Stream for access to this feature.
- Toggle the House Call Service option if you perform this service outside of the business location.
- Toggle Cleanup Time and set a clean-up duration.
  
  To learn more about Cleanup Time, see Using the Cleanup Time Feature.
- Click Service & Price to show the service and price to your customers on your booking page. Click Hide if you do not want to show the service or price online. Click Service Only to show only the service and not the price.
  
  Toggle Show Price as Starting Point to allow the lowest price to appear on the booking page. This is helpful if you have a service that has varying prices.
  
  Note
  
  If this service is grouped in a service bundle, hiding the service will not hide the bundle when a customer books online.
Let's now set up the price configuration for each employee. Toggle (green) the sliders under Performed By if you want the employees to provide the service.

Enter the Price, Duration (time length), Points Given and Points Redeem. The points feature allows customers to collect points when they book a service.

In the example below, since we've entered "30" for the Points Given and "120" for the Points Redeem, the customer will get 30 points each time they book this service. Once they collect 120 points, they can redeem them or get the service for free.
To add a Gap Time to a service, click inside a duration field, then click Add Gap Time.

A gap time allows you to book another appointment while a service is being completed. Click this link for more information: Add or Remove Gap Processing Time.
Enter the Initial Duration, Gap Processing time, and Finish Duration. The system will allow you to book another appointment during the gap processing time. Customers will also see this as an available time on the online booking page.
Once the Gap Time has been added, you can edit it by clicking edit.
Click Add New Employee to add a new employee to your account. To learn more about adding a new employee, see Add An Employee.
Click Save at the bottom right of the screen.
