Online booking and scheduling for Christmas light installers.

Installs come in through your quote form, which asks for the home's height, approximate roofline length (in brackets from under 100 ft to over 400 ft), where the lights go, whose lights they are and whether there's an outdoor outlet. You price from that - or book the Free On-Site Estimate and measure first - then enter the install as a booking at your price.

No. Clients don't need to use your public booking page for a booking to show up in your account. You can click Add client to save someone's contact details ahead of time, or use New booking to log an appointment yourself. That's handy for phone calls, emails, walk-ins and referrals. Price it from your services and add-ons, or choose Custom quote to enter a one-off price you've already agreed. It works like your booking page: add more than one person, pet or vehicle to one booking (if you've turned that on), answer your own booking questions, apply a coupon code, and see your open times for the day - required questions can be left blank, and you can still pick any time. These bookings sit in the same account as your online ones, so you can keep all your clients and appointments in one place. Bookings you create yourself don't email the client automatically. Open the booking and click Email client to send a pre-filled confirmation.

Yes - turn on Stripe Payments in your dashboard and a client's card gets charged, in full or as a deposit, straight into your own Stripe account before their request is even sent. It's entirely optional, though - you're always in control of payment, and can just as easily take cash, run a card in person with something like Square, or send your own payment link instead.

Both are quoted, not booked outright. The quote form asks whether to take the lights down after the season, so you can price install and takedown together. Enter the install as a booking once agreed, and when January comes, open it and use Duplicate booking to schedule the takedown with the same client and address.

Yes - Light Repair / Bulb Replacement Visit is its own flat-rate service, so a client with an outage can book a fix without going through the full installation flow again.

Yes - blackout dates let you block off any date, or just part of one, in one click, so you can't get double-booked during your busiest weeks.

Yes - coupons apply a percent or flat-amount discount to the pre-tax subtotal, with an optional expiry date, so an early-October booking code can naturally stop working once your install season ramps up.

No - the quote form takes a rough roofline length in brackets, or a client who isn't sure books the Free On-Site Estimate and you price it once you've actually measured the property.

Yes - with location options. The Christmas Light Installer preset starts with "Within 20 miles (30 km) of us" (no charge), "20-40 miles (30-65 km) away" (+$15) and "More than 40 miles (65 km) away - we confirm first" (+$30). Change the names, prices and travel times, or add your own, under Settings > Locations. The extra price is added to the client's total and shown next to the location on your booking page. An optional note above the options can say where the distance is measured to. Each location also has a travel time - your drive. It is never shown to the client and is not added to their appointment. It blocks your calendar so no one can book you during the drive: before the appointment by default, or before and after if you set "A location's travel time blocks your calendar" to Before and after (Settings > Locations). For example, a 10:00-11:00 AM appointment with 30 minutes of travel blocks 9:30-11:00 AM, or 9:30-11:30 AM with Before and after.

Both. Your booking page only offers start times that fit: inside your hours (up to two windows a day), long enough for the service plus any add-ons, clear of other bookings and your buffer, and within your notice and advance limits. Blackout dates take days off the page, and whether an unconfirmed request holds its slot is your call under Settings > Hours & availability. If you travel, the travel time on each location blocks your calendar around the appointment without showing on the client's side. There's no two-way calendar sync, texting or automatic reminders: a confirmed booking has an Add to Calendar button for Google, Apple and Outlook, and a one-click reminder email.
