A service is an item (work) an employee provides for a single client. Examples of services include a women's haircut, a shave or massage. From the Services/Classes Menu, you can add Vagaro services or create custom services that are more unique to your business.
You can also do the following:
- Select to either hide services or show the service and/or its price on your booking page.
- Show the starting point for prices. This allows the customer to see the lowest price of a service on your listing page. This is helpful if you have services that have varying prices.

Let's get started!
How to Add a Vagaro Service
1. Click Settings.
2. Select Service / Class Menu under Things We Sell.
3. Select the Services tab. Click the green Add button. Then select Service.
4. Select Add Vagaro Service on the left side.
5. Select the services you want to add. Then click Save.
6. To edit a Vagaro service once it's been added, select the Services tab from the Service-Class Menu. Click the three dots. Then select Edit.
7. Click Change Photo to add a new image to the service.
8. Enter the description.
9. Click on the drop-down under Resource to select resources for the service. A resource is a room or a tool that's required to perform a service.
For example, you can add chairs, rooms or a type of equipment. Click Add New Resource below to add additional resources to the service.
Remember, multiple resources can be used for a service.
10. Enter the Business Cost or the expense for providing the service. Then select the sales tax you want to add.
Remember, you first have to add the tax rates in the Taxes & Checkout page before adding it to a service. Click this link for more information: How to Add Tax Rates and Update Your Taxes & Checkout Settings.
11. Toggle to enable the House Call option. This allows you to perform the service outside of the business location.
Below this option, click Service & Price to show the service and price to your customers on your booking page. Click Service Only to show only the service and not the price. Click Hide if you do not want to show the service or price online.
Select the 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.
12. Let's now set up the price configuration for each employee. Toggle the options under Performed By if you want the employees to provide the service. A green color means the employee has been selected to perform the service.
Enter the Price, Duration (time length), Points Given and Points Redeem after you're finished entering the prices. 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, this means that the customer will get 30 points each time they book this service. Once they collect a total of 120 points, they can redeem it or get it for free.
13. To add a Gap Time to a service, place your cursor in a box that corresponds to an employee in the Duration column. Then click Add Gap Time once the option appears.
A gap time allows you to book another appointment while a service is being completed. Click this link for more information: How to Add a Gap Processing Time in Vagaro.
14. Once you click Add Gap Time, enter the Initial Duration, Gap Processing time as well as the Finish Duration. During the gap processing time, the system will allow you to book another appointment. Customers will also see this as an available time on the online booking page.
15. Once the Gap Time has been added, you can edit it by placing your cursor in the box where the processing time has been set. Click Edit once this option appears.
