direct link to book service
We need the option to hide specific services from the public online booking menu while still having an active, bookable direct link to send to clients.
This feature is essential for clinics and studios that offer:
• VIP-only or invitation-only services
• Add-ons or specialty upgrades not meant for general booking
• Seasonal or trial services
• Services that we want available only to returning clients or those with specific needs
• Membership-exclusive treatments
• Internal-use services we book manually but don’t want clients browsing
Why this matters:
Currently, if a service is hidden or unpublished, Boulevard disables its booking link, which prevents us from providing exclusive or private booking options to select clients. This limits our ability to manage premium services, control access, test new offerings, and customize our menu without cluttering the public-facing booking system.
What we need:
A setting such as:
• “Hide from public menu but keep booking link active”
or
• “Private service (not displayed publicly, link-access only)”
Expected behavior:
Service does not appear in the public booking menu.
The service still generates a direct booking link.
Anyone with the link can book, but it’s not searchable or visible to the general public.
The service remains fully functional in the backend: reporting, staff assignment, pricing, etc.
Impact:
This improves client experience, maintains menu cleanliness, and supports advanced service structures such as memberships, VIP tiers, and exclusive offerings — all while reducing staff workload and manual booking.
