What's limited in Setmore Health

As a reminder, limits and restrictions are added to your account to help ensure customer or patient privacy, and to help you meet compliance standards.

  • Classes are turned off: You will be unable to create classes or sessions through Setmore Health.

  • Customer reviews will be turned off: The customer review feature on your Booking Page will be deactivated by default and cannot be turned on.

  • Customer and staff notifications will be simplified: This includes email confirmations and reminders, and text reminders. All notifications will be shortened so as not to include any personally identifiable information of your patients/customers.
