When booking an appointment, you'll notice that the values for cost and duration are already entered. These are determined by the service you've chosen for the appointment.

However, in some cases you may need to change the cost or duration for just one appointment, without changing the global values for the service overall.

Changing cost or duration in the web app

When editing an appointment on your calendar in the Setmore web app, you'll notice that a set of lock icons will appear next to the service cost and duration.

Service details with name, cost and duration

The lock icons mean that the service cost and duration can't be edited. To change them, you must first activate Custom Service Cost, or Customer Service Duration.

  • Start by going to your calendar, click the Settings icon in the top right corner, then select Activate custom service cost, or Activate custom service duration.
