Custom pricing logic, custom questions, and full control over your booking page

Every setting below is a real, free-plan control in your 1minutebooking dashboard - not a roadmap item. This page documents them in one place so it's clear exactly how far the customization goes.

Built for one operator, not a team. Every rule here is scoped to a single account with no staff logins or per-seat pricing - you configure it once in Settings and it applies immediately to your public booking page.

Add-ons & custom pricing logic

Settings > Add-ons. Each add-on is its own priced, optional (or required) extra - the logic below decides how it behaves per booking.

Quantities, with a min and max you set

Turn on "Allow multiple quantities" and a client picks a number - e.g. 3 bedrooms - up to a maximum you choose (up to 10,000). Price scales automatically with quantity.

Preset options, each with its own price and duration

"Allow only preselected options" turns an add-on into a short list of choices (single-choice or multiple-choice) where every option can carry a different price and a different amount of added time - e.g. a rush-fee add-on with "Next day (+$20)" and "Same day (+$50, +30 min)" as separate options.

Scoped to all services, or just specific ones

"Add-on available to all service types" is a toggle - leave it off and pick exactly which service types the add-on can even be attached to.

Required, conditionally, per service type

"Require this add-on to be selected for a service type" is set independently of which services the add-on merely applies to - so an add-on can be optional for most services and mandatory for one specific one (e.g. "Bedrooms" required only for "Deep Cleaning").

Service types & combinations

Settings > Service Types. The services themselves carry their own quantity and combination logic, separate from add-ons.

Multiple quantities on a service itself

Not just add-ons - a service type can allow a client-set quantity too (e.g. "Crew Size" or "Vehicles at this address"), with its own min/max.

Control exactly which services can be booked together

"Allow multiple services to be selected at once" can apply account-wide or be restricted per service type, so you decide which combinations are valid rather than allowing (or blocking) everything at once.

Availability & scheduling rules

Settings > Business Info & Availability. These decide when a slot is actually bookable, beyond just open/closed hours.

Show business hours on the booking page

Optional - display your per-day hours directly on the public page, or keep them hidden and rely on the calendar alone.

Overtime: let an appointment start before close even if it runs past it

On by default - a service that starts at 5:45pm with a 30-minute duration can still book against an 6pm close, instead of the last valid slot cutting off early.

Pending appointments can block availability - or not

By default, an unconfirmed request holds its time slot like a confirmed one. Turn it off to let other clients keep requesting that slot until you confirm one of them.

Minimum notice window

Require a set number of hours (1-168) between "now" and the earliest bookable slot, so clients can't book five minutes before you're supposed to show up.

Buffer time between appointments

A fixed 5-60 minute gap added after every booking before the next slot opens - so back-to-back bookings never actually touch.

Booking form & custom questions

Settings > Booking Form Fields. What you ask a client for, beyond picking a service and a time.

Toggle and require the built-in fields independently

Email, phone, and address can each be shown or hidden, and separately marked optional or required - not a single all-or-nothing contact-info block.

Up to 10 custom fields, three answer types

Free text, single choice (radio), or multiple choice (checkboxes) - each with its own label (e.g. "Any special requests?"), each independently markable as required, and reorderable.

Multiple service locations

Add your own locations and require clients to choose one (radio) or allow several (checkboxes), depending on how your business operates.

How this compares

Most general scheduling software is built around staff and multi-location teams first, with per-service pricing logic as an afterthought. For a solo operator, the depth is usually the other way around.

FAQ

Does 1minutebooking support custom pricing logic?
Yes. Add-ons can be quantity-based (e.g. a client sets how many bedrooms, up to a max you choose), or restricted to a preset list of single-choice or multiple-choice options where each option carries its own price and duration. Add-ons can also be scoped to specific service types and marked required only for those, so pricing logic follows which service was picked rather than applying the same flat list to every booking.
Can I require an add-on only for certain service types?
Yes - each add-on can apply to all service types or a specific set, and separately be marked required for all of those or a narrower subset. Example: make "Bedrooms" required for "Deep Cleaning" but optional (or not shown at all) for "Standard Cleaning."
How many custom questions can I add to my booking form?
Up to 10 Custom Fields, each a plain-text answer, a single-choice (radio) question, or a multiple-choice (checkbox) question, any of which can be marked required and reordered - in addition to the built-in name, email, phone, and optional address fields, each of which can independently be turned off, made optional, or required.
Can clients book more than one service, and can I control which ones combine?
Yes - "Allow multiple services to be selected at once" can be turned on account-wide or scoped per service type, so you decide exactly which services are allowed to be booked together and which stand alone. Service types also support their own client-set quantity, separate from add-on quantities.
What availability rules can I set beyond just business hours?
Per-day business hours, a minimum notice window (in hours) before a slot can be booked, a cap on how far in advance someone can book (up to 365 days), buffer time between appointments (5-60 minutes), whether a pending/unconfirmed booking blocks its time slot from other clients, and whether an appointment can start before closing time even if it runs past it (overtime).
Is 1minutebooking more customizable than general scheduling tools like BookingKoala or Square Appointments?
For a solo operator specifically, the settings on this page - per-service required add-ons, quantity and preset-option pricing, service combination rules, and up to 10 custom booking questions - are all native, free-plan features with no per-seat or per-location pricing to unlock them. See the BookingKoala and Square Appointments comparisons for how the two approaches differ.
