❗️Note: at this moment, this integration is not yet available for Multi location accounts.
In most cases, if you have a Salonized account you can already be booked automatically via Google. You don't have to do anything yourself! You can check this by going to the Integration page in Salonized.
If you scroll down, you will see the Reserve with Google integration. If there is a red button that says 'Disable' next to it, then the integration is enabled and you are already bookable through Google.
If you see a green button with 'Enable' next to the integration, then the integration is not yet enabled. In this case, follow these steps in order to be bookable via Google:
1. Enable integration
Click on Enable behind the integration Reserve with Google via settings > integrations
2. Google business profile
Make a Google business profile (If you already have this, you can skip this step)
Create a company profile on Google so you can be found. Without this company profile, Reservations via Google cannot be linked to your Salonized account. Your Google profile will get an extra option: planning.
3. Search for your company profile
On the Reserve with Google page in Salonized, type in the search field your business name, with the name that your Google Company Profile is registered with (in our case we would type the following, but you would type your own business name)
4. Cancelling and rescheduling settings
The online cancel and reschedule settings must be enabled, these are required in order to offer reservations through Google. You can then continue with the integration by clicking on save.
Tip: Have you deliberately disabled these settings for your customers and want to keep it that way? Then make sure your email templates (appointment confirmation, reminder etc.) do not include the following variables (so check and remove them if necessary in your automatic emails):
{{cancel_link}}
{{reschedule_link}}
If these two variables are not included in your email templates, you can safely enable the online cancellation and online rescheduling settings. These only apply to Google bookings (which is a Google requirement), but not to all other appointments!
5. Save!
