How to Customize Bookings Using URL Parameters?

While shortcodes lets you show the booking form on any page, URL parameters allow you to preselect specific options inside the form. 

This feature is invaluable when you want to guide customers toward a specific service, staff member or location and simplify the booking process.

Here are the available URL Parameters you can use in your booking page URL:

• s_id=1 → Preselects a specific service.
• sm_id=1 → Preselects a specific staff member.
• loc_id=1 → Preselects a specific location.
• allow_modify=0 → Stops clients from changing the preselected options.

Now, let us help you understand it better. For example, right now your booking page URL looks something like this:

www.yoursitename.com/book-appointment/?s_id=1&allow_modify=0

So, you can create a custom link using the BookingPress booking form URL parameters which will look something like this:  

www.yoursitename.com/book-appointment/?s_id=1&allow_modify=0

This custom link will automatically select the service with ID 1. And plus, it’ll prevent clients from going back and changing the service. 

These URL parameters are so much useful when you want to:

• Create service specific booking links.
• Send users directly to a preselected option from emails or ads.
• Make your booking flow simple by lowering manual steps.
