Step 1 — Create the Product in Shopify

1. Create a Shopify product to represent your service (e.g. Consultation).
2. Set the inventory to Do Not Track.
3. Add variants if applicable (e.g. Basic Consultation, Extended Consultation).

Note: Do not enter dates or times as variants — the schedule is based on your store's opening hours. See  Shopify's guide on adding and editing variants

Step 2 — Configure the Product in BTA

1. On the BTA Install page, click on "Setup Wizard" and select Appointment to create the appointment widget.

2.  Import your product into BTA.

3.  Choose "Appointment" as the Profile.

4.  Enter the Capacity of the appointment (max number of available appointments per time slot)

5.  Choose to base capacity on Product or Variant.  In most appointments, it will be product-based.  

6.  Enter the Duration for the appointment or each variant.

7. Add lead or lag time (if applicable)

8. Select to hide any variants you do not want the booking calendar to appear on.  

9. Add a Resource (if applicable)

10. Add a Location (if applicable)

11. Add a cutoff date or future date (if applicable)

12. If desired, choose a set of colours for the appointment.  This allows you to differentiate appointments by colour on the Booking Overview Calendar.

13. Hit Save Service.

Step 3 — Configure Operating Hours

1. Open the Operating Hours page from the left-hand nav of the BTA admin.

2. Change or modify the opening hours for your store.
