# How to add a bookable service in Snad

To add a bookable service in Snad, open **Bookings**, then **Services**, and press “Add Service”. Enter the **Name**, **Price** and **Duration (minutes)**, pick who delivers it in the **Providers** card, then press **Save**. The service shows in the list and can be booked.

## Before you start

- A Snad account, with the Bookings app in your plan.
- Permission to create services in Bookings for your user ([roles and permissions](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/roles-permissions)).
- At least one provider, because a service can't be saved without one ([add booking resources](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/booking-resources)).

## Steps

1. **Open the services list.** In the sidebar, choose **Bookings**, then **Services**, and press “Add Service” above the list. [Details](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/booking-offerings#adv-edit-delete)

2. **Name the service.** A new form opens on the same page. Enter the **Name**, and add a **Description** if you want your team to know what the service covers.

3. **Set the price and duration.** Enter the **Price** and the **Duration (minutes)**, which starts at 60. Pick a **Color** if you want to tell the service apart. The line under the fields shows the subtotal and the [VAT](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/tax-settings) worked out from the price.

4. **Set prep time and limits.** Under **Availability & limits**, enter the prep time before and after each appointment and the most bookings per day. Zero or empty means no daily limit.

5. **Choose who delivers it.** In the **Providers** card, press **Select** next to each [provider](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/booking-resources) who delivers it, or **Select all**. This step is required: without it no bookable times ever appear. [Details](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/booking-offerings#adv-providers)

6. **Decide who sees the service.** **Active** keeps it open for booking. Turn off **Show on the public booking page** for an internal service that only you book from the [front desk](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/bookings-front-desk). [Details](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/booking-offerings#adv-public)

## Messages that block saving

| Message | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Select at least one Provider. Without one, no bookable times will ever appear on the booking page. | You haven't pressed **Select** next to anyone in the **Providers** card. | Select at least one provider, then save. If none exists, add one in [booking resources](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/booking-resources). |

## Advanced details

### Price before or after VAT

The price follows your organization's product price setting. The price column in the list says “Excl. VAT” or “Incl. VAT” accordingly.

A line under the form fields works out the VAT, so you see what the customer really pays before you save.

Tax rates are covered in [set up tax](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/tax-settings).

### More than one provider for a service

One service can be delivered by several providers. When you [create a booking](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/create-booking), pick one provider or “Any Provider” to see everyone's free times.

The providers column in the services list shows how many each service has, and a warning for a service with none.

### A service and the public booking page

Under the switch Snad says: turn it off for an internal service only you book. It stays active and bookable from the front desk.

Turning off **Active** stops front desk booking too. The public booking page and its options are in [set booking settings](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/bookings-settings).

### Group classes at fixed times

In the **Group classes** card, add fixed start times for each day with **Add a time**. The service is then offered only at those times instead of the rolling slot grid.

Once the first time is added, the **Seats per class** field appears. For an ordinary one-to-one service, leave the days empty.

### Edit or delete a service

Click the service row to open its form, change what you need, then **Save**. The row menu has **Edit** and **Delete**, and delete asks “Are you sure you want to delete this?” first.

Edit and delete show only to users who hold those permissions.

### Reminding customers to rebook

The **Rebooking reminder after (days)** field under **Availability & limits** sends the customer a rebooking reminder that many days after their last visit. Zero or empty means off.

## Common questions

### How do I add a service in the bookings software?

Open **Bookings**, then **Services**, and press “Add Service”. Enter the name, price and duration, select the provider, then press **Save**.

### Why won't Snad save my service?

Most likely nobody is selected in the **Providers** card. Snad needs at least one provider, or the service would never show a bookable time. [Add a provider](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/booking-resources) and come back.

### How do I hide a service from the public booking page?

Open the service, turn off **Show on the public booking page** and save. The service stays bookable from the front desk.

### How do I set up a group class?

In the **Group classes** card, add the start times for each day with **Add a time**, then enter the **Seats per class**.

### Can I rename Service to fit my business?

The screens show “Service” and “Provider” under the names your organization uses, so yours may read differently. The names follow the business template applied in [booking settings](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/bookings-settings).
