Chairful works best when the parts of your working day are set up in a clear order. Start with the people taking bookings, add the services clients can choose, and then publish your booking profile.
Before you begin
You will need:
- Your service names, durations and prices.
- The usual working hours for each person who takes bookings.
- A short description and general location for your business.
You can change all of these later.
1. Add your services
Open More, then choose Services. Add at least one active service with a name, duration and price.
Services determine how much time Chairful places in the diary. They also give clients the choices shown on your online booking profile.

2. Check your team and working hours
Open More, then choose Team. Make sure each person who should receive bookings is active and bookable.
Open a team member to check their working hours. Online availability is calculated from those hours, existing appointments and blocked time.
3. Prepare your online booking profile
Open More, then choose Online booking. Chairful shows a readiness checklist for:
- An active service.
- Someone available for booking.
- Working hours for that person.
Complete any unfinished item before publishing.

4. Add existing appointments
Add any appointments already agreed with clients before sharing your booking link. This prevents the same time appearing available online.
From Today, choose Add, then New appointment.

5. Protect unavailable time
Add lunch, training or other unavailable periods to the diary with Block time. Use Time off for holiday, sickness or unavailable days.

6. Preview and share
Return to More → Online booking. Preview the page, publish it, save your changes and copy the booking link.
Open the link yourself before sharing it. Check that services, team choices and available times match the business you have just set up.
What to do next
Add your regular clients so their contact details and useful notes are ready when you need them.
