What Are Subcategories?
Subcategories are a part of the main category structure within the Bookingor plugin. Think of a category as a broad classification of your services, such as "Spa Services" or "Fitness Classes." Within these categories, subcategories allow you to create more specific groups, such as "Massages" or "Facials" under "Spa Services," or "Yoga" and "Pilates" under "Fitness Classes." This hierarchical structure helps to better organize your offerings, making it easier for customers to find and book the services they’re interested in.
How to Create Categories and Subcategories
- Create a Category:
- Click on Categories under the Bookingor menu.
- Click Add New Category.
- Enter the name of the category, such as "Spa Services."
- Create a Subcategory:
- In the subcategory input field, you can add multiple subcategories by typing each one and pressing either the Enter key or a comma to separate them.
- For example, you could enter "Massages, Facials, Aromatherapy."There’s no limit to the number of subcategories you can add under a single category, allowing you to fully customize your service structure.
- Click Save once you've added all your desired subcategories.
You can repeat this process to create as many categories and subcategories as you need, allowing you to tailor the plugin to fit your specific business requirements.
Using Subcategories in Services
Once you have created your categories and subcategories, you can link them to your services:
- Create or Edit a Service:
- Go to the Services section under the Bookingor menu.
- Click Add New Service or select an existing service to edit.
- Assign a Subcategory:
- In the service details, you will see an option to assign a category.
- Select the relevant category, and then choose the appropriate subcategory from the dropdown list that appears.
- This helps ensure that your service is accurately categorized and easy to find for your customers.
- Complete the remaining service details and click Save.
The subcategory feature is an add-on for the Bookingor plugin, available for a starting price of $19. This small investment can greatly enhance the functionality of your booking system, providing better organization and a more professional presentation of your services.
