Every company has a booking page from the first minute, on any plan, including the free one. There is nothing to switch on. Two things are needed: choose the address and put the link where your clients look for you.
What the address looks like
The page lives at book.beesection.com/your-address. You choose the last part when you sign up, and that is the moment to think about it: the address cannot be changed later. It gets printed on business cards and sits in profile bios, and an address that suddenly stops working costs more than a minute of thought at the start.
The rules are short:
- lowercase Latin letters, digits and hyphens;
- 3 to 40 characters;
- a hyphen cannot be the first or the last character.
A good address is one you can dictate over the phone: marina-nails, barber-podil, lash-room. A bad one has dates and random digits in it.
While you type, the form checks whether the address is free. If it is taken, or if it is a reserved word such as support or admin, you see that right away rather than after submitting the form. The service does not suggest free alternatives on purpose: such hints would make it possible to enumerate every salon in the system.
Leave the field empty and the address is built from the company name. It is still better to pick one yourself: the second "Marina" gets marina-2 automatically, and that is awkward to dictate.
What the client sees
The client opens the page without registering and without an app. The page shows:
- the salon name or the specialist's name;
- services with prices and durations;
- free time for the coming days, taking the duration of the chosen service into account;
- a form with a name and a phone number, email optional.
Right after booking, the client gets a confirmation through the same channels as reminders, plus a link to their "my booking" page. There they see the date and time, can reschedule or cancel, and can subscribe to reminders in Telegram. Reminders have their own article: Client reminders: how early and through which channel.
On the free plan the page carries a "Powered by BeeSection" line with a link at the bottom. Starting with the Start plan the line is removed.
Where to put the link
The link works anywhere you can paste text. The places that bring the most bookings:
Instagram. In the profile header, in the "Website" field. One link, no link-in-bio middlemen. In stories, the "Link" sticker with the same address.
TikTok. In the bio. A clickable bio link unlocks at 1,000 followers; before that, write the address as text: book.beesection.com/marina-nails reads fine without being clickable.
Telegram and Viber. In the channel description, in a pinned message, and as a reply to every "do you have a slot on Friday?". Instead of checking the schedule by hand, you send the link and the client picks the time.
Google Business Profile. In the "Book" button. People searching for "manicure near me" land straight on the time picker.
Business cards and signs. The QR code is shown on the "Done" page right after sign-up. Save it then: there is no separate "QR code" button in the settings. If you missed it, any QR generator will produce the same code from your address.
What to do with the old ways of booking
Bookings from Direct and phone calls stay as they are; you still enter them into the calendar by hand. The difference is that online bookings appear in the calendar by themselves, with confirmations and reminders going out immediately.
Every booking has a source: online, manual, recurring or import. After a month it shows which channel works and which one you can stop maintaining.
