FOR FACEBOOK:

1. If you don't already have a page for your business, logon to your Facebook account from your laptop and tap "Pages" from your list of options in the left column and tap "+" from the top right hand corner and choose "Page". You will then have the opportunity to name this new page and add the necessary photos, descriptions, etc. to make a nice, new page to use as your Facebook page for your business.

2. If you already have a page for your business, you can confirm that you see the "Pages" tab to the left and when you tap on the tab, you should see at least one page listed.

3. Go to business.facebook.com on your browser. If you don't have a business account with facebook, please take the necessary steps to create or link your account to a facebook business account.

You should see something similar to the below pic. Please note the boxes we have highlighted in yellow:

4. Insure you have selected the proper page to add your "BOOK NOW" button from the highlighted dropdown list. Once you have selected the proper page to add you BOOK NOW button, copy the ID of that page (it is the numerical id that is highlighted in yellow).

5. Please send this ID to along with your Salon name (or merchant id). We will then send you a link that will allow you to complete adding your BOOK NOW button.

FOR INSTAGRAM

You cannot use the "BOOK NOW" button on Instagram (yet) because Instagram has limited the providers (for now) and has not released any plans on when to expand this list. You can, however, edit your Instagram Profile and add our BOOKING URL as your Website and then add the words BOOK NOW (with a down arrow emoji) for your Bio or you can cut and paste one of the following text:

Facebook has been the most popular social media platform in the latest years. We all know that lately, people have started to buy and sell things, post about their personal life experiences, promote their jobs, and so on. With this in mind, it is pretty obvious that appointment-based businesses need a solution to book appointments through their Facebook pages.

Facebook’s “Book Now” button is a feature that eases the scheduling process between a business and its clients and is a great way to market your salon. If you want more people coming to your salon, you must include call-to-action everywhere on your profile.
