Let clients install your booking page on their phone

Your clients can put your booking page on their phone's home screen, so it opens like an app with your name and your icon, in one tap. This is a PWA: the same booking page, installed from the browser. There is nothing to download from an app store and nothing for you to publish.

There is nothing to switch on. It works for every location, in every subscription band, as soon as the booking page is open. Each location is its own installable app: a client who books at two of your locations installs two icons, and each one opens only its own location.

1. Decide what you want clients to see on their home screen. The app takes its name from your location name, so check that it reads well.
2. Set your logo. The home-screen icon is made from your logo, using the location's own logo if it has one and your company's logo otherwise. If there is no logo at either level, a Zelun icon is used instead.
3. Pick an accent colour. It becomes the theme colour of the installed app.

Set your icon and colour

1. To set the company-wide look, open My business and find Brand kit. Upload your Logo and choose your Accent colour.
2. To give one location its own look, open Setup, choose Branches, click the location, then use Brand for this location. Anything you do not override follows the company's brand.
3. Open your booking page link on a phone and check the location name and the colours.

Invite clients to install

1. Share your booking link as usual. The install offer appears by itself after a client finishes a booking. You do not send a separate link.

• While they are choosing a service, a person, a time or typing their details, there is no install message. It never gets in the way of a booking.
• Right after a booking is confirmed, a card appears on the confirmation: "Install" followed by your location name, "on your home screen for faster booking." It has two buttons, Install and Not now.
• On browsers that cannot show an install button, such as Safari on iPhone and iPad, the card instead shows a one-line hint: use Share, then Add to Home Screen.
• If they press Not now, the card is not shown again for that location on that browser.
• The installed app carries your location name, your icon and your accent colour, not Zelun's name. It opens the booking page of that location.
• Times are always loaded live. If the phone is offline, the page opens but says that times cannot be loaded and shows no times, so a client can never book a slot that is no longer free. When the connection returns, the times are loaded again before they are offered.
• The manage page where a client changes or cancels a booking never shows an install offer.

• Expecting an install button to appear before a booking. It only appears after a client has booked.
• Expecting a Zelun icon to disappear without a logo. Until you add a logo, the installed icon is the Zelun default. Add your logo to brand it.
• Expecting offline booking. The page can open offline, but booking needs a connection. Clients are told so.
• Expecting one install for all locations. Each location installs separately.
