Previously, we've discussed how to create a banner message for announcements. This guide will help you promote your merchandise/retail products or promote an event/class for your business. You can create a banner message for it with a link that will direct your clients to the "Make Purchase" flow to purchase and/or book.

Retail Products

To add a link for your merchandise/retail product on your banner message, add a retail product on the "Retail Products" section. To do this, go to 1 - ADMIN > 2 - Products & Services > 3 - Retail Products, then click 4 - + Add Retail Product.

If they click the clickable link you've created, a new tab will open where they can purchase your merchandise! 

 

Class/Event

To add a link for your class/event on your banner message, add a class/event on your calendar. Then, click the class/event to open its profile.

Click the copy icon beside its name to copy the link.

Go to the "Communications" section to add your banner message. Click the "New Banner Message" button.

Class/Event Client View

The banner message will appear like a heading on your clients' end on your business profile, public schedule and appointments sections. Clients can make the banner message go away and not show it again by clicking the small "x" on the right side.

If they click the clickable link you've created, a new tab will open that will show the Session Profile where they can book the class/event.

If they click BOOK, they'll be directed to the Make Purchase section where they can select their preferred payment method or book using their balance if they have any. In the example below, the customer has no balance applicable to the class/event.

On the next page, they'll be asked to enter their payment information (if they don't have anything saved) and complete the booking process.
