Creating Booking Types
A booking type is a specific service or meeting customers can schedule with you -- a 30-minute consultation, a 60-minute coaching session, a 15-minute discovery call, etc. Each one has its own title, description, duration, pricing, and settings, and appears as a selectable card on your Appointments block.
You can create as many as you need, mixing free and paid options at different durations and price points to serve different customer segments from a single page.
Creating a New Booking Type
Open Availability from the sidebar. Your booking types are listed below the weekly schedule. Click New Booking Type to open the creation form.

Title
Give your booking type a clear name that tells customers what they're scheduling -- "30-Minute Strategy Call," "1-Hour Portfolio Review," or "Quick Check-In." This title appears on the booking card, so make it specific enough to avoid confusion.
Description
Write a short description explaining what the session covers, who it's for, and what to expect. This appears below the title on the booking card and helps customers pick the right option. Two to three sentences is usually enough.
Duration
Set the appointment length in minutes. Duration directly affects how time slots are calculated -- for example, a 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM window yields six 30-minute slots but only three 60-minute slots. Choose a duration that reflects the time you actually need, including any wrap-up or note-taking.
Icon
Select an icon to visually distinguish this booking type from others. It appears on the booking card alongside the title, making it easy for customers to spot the right service at a glance.
Pricing -- Free or Paid
You have two pricing options:
- Free -- Customers book without payment. Ideal for discovery calls, introductory sessions, or office hours.
- Paid -- Set a price and customers complete checkout before their appointment is confirmed. Requires a connected payment provider in Settings. The price is displayed on the booking card so customers know the cost upfront.
Pro Tip: Mix free and paid booking types -- a free 15-minute discovery call builds rapport, and a paid 60-minute deep-dive gives clients a way to go further once they've experienced your expertise.
Video Conferencing with Google Meet
If you've connected your Google Calendar (see Connecting Google Calendar), you can enable the Google Meet toggle on any booking type. When it's on, Leenkies automatically generates a unique Meet link for every confirmed appointment -- included in both the confirmation emails and the calendar event. No one needs to share or look up a link manually.
If you don't need video for a booking type (e.g., an in-person session or phone call), just leave the toggle off.

How Booking Types Appear on Your Page
Once created, a booking type automatically appears in the Appointments block on your Leenkies page as a card showing the icon, title, description, duration, and price. Customers browse these cards and click one to start the booking flow.
If you have multiple booking types, they're all displayed together, giving customers a clear menu of your services. They appear in the order they were created.

Offering Multiple Booking Types at Different Price Points
Multiple booking types at different price points and durations help you serve a wide range of customers. Consider structuring your offerings in tiers:
- Introductory tier -- A short, free session (10-15 minutes) for new customers to ask initial questions.
- Standard tier -- A mid-length, moderately priced session (30-45 minutes) for your core offering.
- Premium tier -- A longer, higher-priced session (60-90 minutes) for in-depth work or comprehensive consultations.
Each tier gets its own title, description, icon, and pricing, so customers can self-select the level that fits their needs and budget.
Pro Tip: Lead with the benefit, not the format. "Brand Strategy Deep-Dive (60 min)" is more compelling than "60-Minute Call" -- customers care about what they'll get out of the session.
Editing and Deleting Booking Types
Click any booking type on the Availability page to edit it. All fields can be updated, and changes take effect immediately for new bookings -- already-confirmed appointments aren't affected.
To delete a booking type, open it and click delete. It'll be removed from your Appointments block so customers can no longer book it. Existing confirmed appointments aren't affected.
