Have a project that spans multiple sittings? With Porter, you can easily schedule multiple appointments at once to keep your workflow organized and your clients committed.
🧰 How to Schedule Multi-Session Appointments
1. Go to the Calendar Page
From app.getporter.io, click “Add Appointment” to begin scheduling.
2. Enter the Appointment Details
Fill in the client name, service, artist, and other booking details as usual.
3. Select Date & Time
Under the “Select date & time” section, choose the date and time for the first appointment. Then click “➕ Add another appointment” to add additional sessions.
You can add up to 10 appointments in one go.
💰 Deposit Handling for Multi-Session Bookings
When you add more than one appointment, a new question will appear for “Deposit Handling.” You can choose whether the deposit will be:
✅ Collected and applied to the first appointment
✅ Collected and applied to the last appointment
The deposit will only show up on the appointment you selected for it. The others will be marked as scheduled but without a deposit applied.
📲 What the Client Sees
Once the appointments are created, the client receives a text message with a link to confirm and pay the deposit. When they click the link, they’ll see a list of all appointments you’ve scheduled and the deposit details. This helps eliminate back-and-forth and makes it easy for clients to lock in their entire project upfront.
