How do I Generate a Booking Link?

The generate booking link is the feature that will give you the least friction when booking with your client. Here you can customize your booking, including taking on client fees and overriding the final price, all in a shareable link.

Consolidate your existing business or in progress projects onto the EngineEars platform by streamlining how you offer and price your services, collect payment, manage projects and/or complete sessions. Generated Booking links allow you to book existing clients you're working with outside of EngineEars or in progress projects you're already working on. This allows your clients to transparently see the order and pricing details of your service(s) provided, and gives them a direct way to conveniently pay for the project from the generated booking link. 

 

1. Generate Booking

From your Dashboard, click the 'Generate Booking' button in the upper right corner of the page.

Note: The Generated Booking feature is available for 'Engineer' and 'Studio Manager' account types.

In-Progress Projects

An additional option is the 'In-progress' option. This signifies that the project has already begun before booking and is being completed via the EngineEars platform.

Turn this toggle ON if your project is already in progress. You will need to specify the client's permissions when enabling this feature. This ensures that your client must submit payment in order to receive playbacks and/or reviews/revisions for the project.
