Set up online booking with Sinna
Let customers book your services online at book.sinna.is, share direct links, and choose how prices and unconfirmed bookings show.
Your customers can book online through Sinna, at book.sinna.is. This article shows how to share links to your booking page and how to change what customers see.
Online booking is for service businesses (salons, clinics and similar) that use the Appointment part of Dineout Partner.
Share a link to your booking page
Your booking page address starts with https://book.sinna.is/ followed by your company's own name in the web address.
You don't have to build links by hand. Dineout shows ready-made links to copy:
- A link to one staff member. Open the staff member (see Add staff and rooms). On the Info tab, a blue box says "This is your share link to send to customers to directly book you". Click the link to copy it. It only shows for staff, not rooms.
- A link to one service. Open the service (see Add services). A blue box says "Share link to book this service directly". Click the link to copy it.
- A link to a service category. Open the category. A blue box says "Share link to promote this category". Click the link to copy it.
Each time you click a link, you see "Copied to clipboard".
Choose what customers see about prices
Open Booking engine
In Settings, open Booking engine.
Choose how price ranges show
Under Pricing, pick an option for How do you want to display price ranges?. This matters when a service has more than one price (see Choose which services each staff member offers).
- From min price shows the lowest price.
- Min price - max price shows both prices.
Show price changes on times (optional)
Turn on Show price deviations when picking times to show prices that differ from the normal price next to each available time.
Set how long an unconfirmed booking is held
Under Booking, fill in Booking expiration time (minutes). This is how many minutes a booking can stay unconfirmed before it expires in the booking engine. For example, 15. The number can't be negative.
