You can edit an existing service in Appointy when you need to update details such as the service name, duration, price, capacity, or description.
This allows you to keep the same service while updating how it is offered.
What service details can I edit?
You can update details such as:
- Service name
- Duration
- Price
- Capacity
- Description
Other service-specific settings may be managed from their respective tabs or options.
How to edit a service
Quick navigation
Settings → Service → Select Service → Edit → Update Details → Update
Steps
- Log in to your Appointy admin account.
- Click Settings in the toolbar on the left.
- Under Resource Management, open Service.
- Select the service you want to edit.
- In the service details window, click Edit above the service image.
.
. - Update the required information in the Update Service window.
- Click Update to save the changes..
.Example: Updating the price and description of a service
Suppose a salon offers a service called Hair Coloring.
The business increases the price and also wants to update the description to explain what is included.
Instead of creating a new service, the Admin can open the existing Hair Coloring service, click Edit, update the price and description, and save the changes.
This keeps the existing service while updating the information shown for future bookings.
When should I edit a service instead of creating a new one?
Edit the existing service when the offering is fundamentally the same and only its details have changed.
For example:
- Price has changed
- Duration has changed
- Description needs updating
- Capacity has changed
- Service name needs to be corrected or renamed
Create a new service when you are introducing a genuinely different bookable offering.
Editing a service vs changing other service settings
The Edit option is used for the main service details.
Other settings may be managed separately, such as:
- Service image
- Service color
- Public or Private status
- Active or Suspended status
- Time interval
- Intake form
- Add-ons
- Resources
- Booking URL
This distinction is useful because not every service setting is changed from the main Edit window.
