Topics

  • How to set up appointment schedules in Google Calendar.
  • Premium features, including requiring payment to book an appointment.
  • Sharing and embedding booking pages.
  • Managing your availability while traveling or with schedule changes.
  • Checking availability on shared calendars.
  • International appointments and payment. 
  • Possible future developments and using Gemini AI.

Takeaways

  • All Google Account users can create appointment schedules, but some premium features require a  Google Workspace account, or a Google Workspace Individual or Google One Premium add-on to your personal Google Account.
  • You can offer in-person appointments, phone calls or video meetings with Google Meet. If you want to use a different video calling platform, like Zoom, you can specify those details after the appointment is set.
  • This works well for international appointments, as the booking page always displays in the booker's local time zone, and payment processor Stripe allows international payments. 
  • You can customize appointment availability based on your schedule to avoid conflicts. Checking availability across multiple calendars is a premium feature. You must actively select the calendars you want taken into account for availability. When you do that, time slots will only be offered for appointments if the time is free on all calendars.
