SELL · SERVICES

Let customers book you, not chase you.

Customers pick a service, choose a time slot and pay on your website. No more "is 5 pm free?" on WhatsApp at 11 at night.

A REAL SHOPNIX STORE

A whole region's services, on one website

A local guide to Coorg lists homestays, estate stays, camping, electricians, plumbers and builders, sorted by town.

WHO SELLS SERVICES

Every service business books differently

A salon fills chairs, a yoga studio fills batches, a plumber fills a route across town. Here's what each one needs, and how it's done on Shopnix. Store mock-ups below are examples, built from real photos.

SALONS, SPAS AND CLINICS

Fill every chair, never double-book one

Your diary is your income. Gaps lose money, and two customers for one chair lose a customer.

"Three chairs, three bookings"Each slot takes only as many bookings as you set. Then it shows as full.
"Too many no-shows"Take the payment, or an advance, when they book.
"Fake bookings"An OTP check at checkout, so every booking has a real phone number.
"Some prefer to pay in person"Allow cash on delivery and call it "Pay at the salon".
"Bridal and party packages"List packages like products, with photos and a price.
"Sell the products we use"Shampoos and serums in the same store, shipped to their door.
"Remind them it's booked"A WhatsApp confirmation for every booking.
CLASSES AND COACHING

Batches that fill themselves

Yoga, dance, music, tuition, swimming. Parents want to see batch timings and pay without calling you every month.

"Each batch has 12 seats"Set each batch as a slot that takes 12. The 13th parent picks another.
"A free trial class"A trial product at ₹0. They book it like any other class.
"Monthly fees"Sell the month's fee as a product. Automatic subscriptions are coming soon.
"Costumes, mats and books"Sell them in the same store, with sizes.
"Parents have questions"An enquiry form for anything before they join.
"Receipts for every fee"A proper invoice for every payment.
HOME SERVICES AND REPAIRS

Jobs in the areas you actually cover

AC service, plumbing, electricians, pest control, cleaning. Your day is a route across town, so where the job is matters as much as what it is.

"Only my areas"List the pincodes you serve. Nobody outside them can book.
"Farther areas cost more"A different visit charge for each area.
"What's the problem?"Customers upload a photo and add notes at checkout.
"Pay after the job"Allow cash on delivery, or take an advance online.
"Big jobs need a quote"An enquiry form for renovations and bulk work.
"Morning or evening?"Time slots, so you plan the day's route.

HOMESTAYS AND STAYS

Guests decide on details

Homestays, estate stays, camping. Guests compare photos, meals and rules, check the dates are free, and book directly when they trust the page.

"Show the place properly"Up to 6 photos with zoom, and every detail in the description.
"Rooms and tariffs"Each room or cottage as an option, with its own price.
"Is it free on those dates?"A room availability calendar. Booked dates can't be picked again.
"Hold the booking"Take the full amount or an advance online, or an enquiry first.
"Many stays, one site"Group them by town and type, like the Coorg store above.
"Sell local produce too"Coffee, spices and honey, shipped across India.
TIFFIN, CAKES AND CATERING

Food that arrives when they want it

Lunch has to land before 1. A birthday cake has to land on the birthday. Timing is the whole product.

"Lunch by 1 pm"Delivery slots, with a limit per slot so the kitchen keeps up.
"Cakes need notice"Pre-order products with the date they're ready.
"Put this photo on the cake"Customers upload the photo with their order.
"Less spicy, no onion"Notes at checkout, shown on the order.
"Only nearby"Delivery areas by pincode, with a charge for each.
"Party orders"A minimum order quantity, or an enquiry form for big events.
"Not worth it under ₹300"A minimum order value for the whole order.
EVENTS, PHOTOGRAPHY AND DECOR

Packages, advances and quotes

Small jobs have a fixed price. Big ones need a conversation. Your website should handle both.

"Fixed-price packages"List each package with photos of past work and a price.
"Advance to confirm"Sell the advance as its own product, paid online or by bank transfer. Collect the balance later with a payment link.
"Weddings need a quote"An enquiry form for dates, venue and guest count.
"Show the portfolio"Pages of your best work, on your own domain.
