Categories & Badges

Categories group your event types (services) for easier navigation. Badges are visual labels that highlight specific services on your booking pages.

Categories

What are categories?

Categories organize your event types into groups (e.g. "Hair", "Nails", "Facials" or "Consulting", "Training", "Workshops"). Customers can browse by category on your public booking page.

Creating a category

Categories are managed from the event type edit screen:

1. Go to Event Types → [event type] → Edit.
2. In the Category field, click Manage Categories.
3. Click Create Category.
4. Enter:
   • Name — The category label (e.g. "Hair Services").
   • Color — A hex color for visual identification (defaults to blue).
5. Click Save.

Assigning categories

• In the event type edit screen, select a category from the dropdown.
• Each event type can belong to one category (or none).
• The category dropdown shows all your categories with their colors.

How categories appear

• Public booking site — The catalog page (/b/{teamSlug}/services) shows a category sidebar or filter. Customers can click a category to see only services in that group.
• Category page — Each category has a dedicated page at /b/{teamSlug}/category/{categorySlug}.
• Catalog settings — In Customize → Catalog, you can control whether the category sidebar is shown.

Managing categories

• Edit — Change the name or color from the Manage Categories modal.
• Delete — Remove a category. Event types in that category become uncategorized.
• Sort order — Categories have a sort order that controls their display position.

Categories and commissions

Commission rules can be scoped to a specific category. When a booking is made for any event type in that category, the commission rule applies.
