With Bookeo Appointments you can offer services in multiple locations. You can set up a separate Bookeo Appointments account for each location or manage multiple locations in a single account.

Single account vs Separate accounts
If you set up a separate Bookeo Appointments account for each location, each location can have its own branding (logo, business address), can only access settings of its own account to set schedules, prices, bookings, customers, sales reports, etc. If needed, you can set one time zone and a specific payment gateway account per location.
If you set up multiple locations in a single account, you can set one branding (one logo and one business address). You can set one time zone and one payment gateway account. Account managers and users can access schedules, prices, bookings, customers, sales reports of all locations.
Manage multiple locations in a single account
If you want to manage multiple locations in a single account, and
- offer different services in each location, AND/OR
- offer the same services with different prices in your locations,
you will have to set up your locations as categories in your account, then set up services under the specific category/location.
If
- your staff members work in one location only, AND
- you offer the same services with the same prices in all your locations
you can follow the instructions below to let customers select a service, then the specific location.
