Booking Links
Booking links are private URLs to your booking page. Anyone with the link can book — but the link can be restricted to specific services, given an expiry date, and even have availability windows reserved exclusively for it.
Find them under Manage → Booking links.
There are two kinds:
| Kind | Created from | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Standalone link | Manage → Booking links → New link | Share anywhere — social media, email signature, or with one person who books regularly |
| Client link | A client’s profile page | Send a personal booking link to a specific client; bookings are matched to that client automatically |
Both appear together on the Booking links page so you can manage them in one place.
Creating a standalone link
Section titled “Creating a standalone link”- Go to Manage → Booking links and tap New link
- Give it a name — this is for your reference and appears wherever the link is shown in the app
- Choose which services the link can book (or leave all selected)
- Optionally require payment upfront and set an expiry date
- Save, then use Copy to share the URL
The link takes the form booker-app.com/book/your-slug?ref=… — same booking page, but the ref token unlocks anything restricted to that link.
Client links
Section titled “Client links”From a client’s profile you can create a link tied to that client. Bookings made through it are automatically attached to their record — no duplicate clients from typos in their email. Client links can be named too, and you can email them to the client directly from Booker.
Restricting services to a link
Section titled “Restricting services to a link”Two complementary controls:
- Allowed services on the link — when creating or editing a link, tick only the services it should offer. The booking page shows just those.
- Link-only services — a service marked “link only” never appears on your public booking page; it can only be reached through a direct or booking link.
Combine them for genuinely private offerings: a link-only service, offered through one named link.
Reserving availability for a link
Section titled “Reserving availability for a link”You can limit individual availability windows — weekly slots or one-off dates — so that only one link (or one service) can book them. Those times never appear on your public booking page.
See Availability → Limiting who can book a time for how this works. Each link’s row on the Booking links page shows how many availability windows are reserved for it, with a shortcut to edit them.
Expiry
Section titled “Expiry”Links can be given an expiry date. After it passes:
- The link stops working — visitors see a “link no longer valid” message
- The link shows an Expired badge on the Booking links page
- Any availability windows reserved for it stay put but can no longer be booked — Booker warns you so you can either extend the link or tidy the windows up
Managing links
Section titled “Managing links”Each row on the Booking links page shows the link’s name, who it’s for (“Anyone with the link” or the client’s name), which services it can book, its expiry, and how many availability windows are reserved for it. Actions:
- Copy the URL
- Send to the client (client links only)
- Edit name, services, payment, and expiry
- Delete (with the cascade warning above)
- Limit availability to this link — jumps to your Availability page
