Booking system

Everything customers see on your booking page is configured in one place: DZ Admin → Settings → Booking System Config. It has seven tabs. This page covers all of them and links out to payments and email, which have their own guides.

General settings#

Schedule and availability#

Each row in Schedule & Availability is one continuous availability window on one weekday. EZDZ generates individual bookable times inside that window using your duration and buffer.

1. 1
   Click Add Time Slot and choose the Day, Start Time, and End Time.
2. 2
   Set Duration (min). This is how often a time appears. 60 gives one time every hour, 120 every two hours.
3. 3
   Set Buffer Minutes if you want a gap between back-to-back times.
4. 4
   Set Max Bookings to cap how many tandems can book each time.
5. 5
   Switch the row to Active. Inactive rows don't appear on the booking page.
6. 6
   Click Save Configuration.

For example, a 10 AM to 4 PM window at 60 minutes gives times at 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, and 3.

Removing a time slot row deletes it immediately.

Schedule overrides#

Overrides change one specific date without touching your weekly template. Find them at the bottom of Schedule & Availability under Schedule Overrides.

1. 1
   Click Add Override.
2. 2
   Choose Single Date or Date Range, then pick the date or dates.
3. 3
   Choose an Override Type.
4. 4
   If it applies to specific times, pick the Time Slot. Leave it blank for all slots.
5. 5
   Optionally add a Custom Message shown to customers, such as "Weather hold".
6. 6
   Click Check Affected Bookings to see anyone already booked in that window.
7. 7
   Click Save Override.

Reopening early? Find the override in Active Overrides and delete it. Availability returns to the booking page right away. A date range creates one override per day.

Pricing and packages#

A package is a product customers choose when booking, such as "Standard Tandem". Add-ons (handcam, outside video, photos) hang off a package.

Create a package#

1. 1
   Open Pricing & Packages and click Add Package.
2. 2
   Enter the Package Name, Base Price, and Description.
3. 3
   Choose which Available Days it runs.
4. 4
   Click Add Add-on for each extra, with its name and price.
5. 5
   Click Save Configuration.

Coupons and gift certificates#

The Coupons & Gift Certs tab has two buttons: + Coupon and + Gift Cert.

Each row has Share, which creates a QR code and a ready-to-print card (minimal, dark, or branded) with Copy Link, Download QR, and Print / PDF. Coupon links look like /booking/{slug}?coupon=CODE, which pre-fills the code. Customers can also type a code at checkout under Have a coupon or gift certificate code?

Preview and embed#

The Preview & Embed tab shows a live preview of your booking page. Open in new tab opens it full size.

Put it on your website#

1. 1
   Make sure the booking page is Active (see General Settings).
2. 2
   Click Copy Embed Code.
3. 3
   Paste it into your website's HTML where you want the booking form to appear.
4. 4
   Reload your site and book a test.

The code looks like this. Copy yours from the tab rather than retyping it, because it includes your slug and dropzone name:

<!-- EZDZ Booking Widget -->
<div id="ezdz-booking-container"></div>
<script
  async
  src="https://ezdz.xyz/booking-embed.js"
  data-slug="your-slug"
  data-dropzone-name="Your Dropzone">
</script>

The widget sizes itself, works on phones and tablets, and shows a small "Powered by EZDZ" link. There is a matching Gift Certificate Embed Code for selling gift certificates from your site.
