Clinics, therapists, counsellors, consultants, and independent practitioners

Example: clinic or practitioner

Recommended BukFast settings for scheduled consultations and follow-up visits.

Recommended service

Create separate services for an initial consultation, follow-up, assessment, or specialist session when they need different durations or prices.

  • Booking type: Appointment.
  • Duration: 30–60 minutes depending on the visit.
  • Slot interval: 15 or 30 minutes depending on the schedule.
  • Capacity: 1 per practitioner or room.

Useful options

Keep multiple bookings disabled unless patients genuinely need several sessions on one day. Use custom fields for operational information, not unnecessary sensitive medical details.

  • Booking window: commonly 1–90 days.
  • Minimum notice: 24–48 hours when preparation is needed.
  • Payment: pay at visit, deposit, or full payment after Stripe is connected.
  • Put urgent-care instructions in Global Terms / Notes; online booking is not emergency triage.
