Making appointments

1. First, when creating a page for your product, you define your available hours.
2. Next, you share the link to your sales page with potential customers.
3. Customers select a time slot on the sales page.
4. Then, they'll be redirected to the checkout page, where they can pay by credit card and even in installments.
5. Customers can later refer you by sharing your page link, and, this way, you can build your authority in the market. 

And you can keep track of your appointments directly on the Hotmart platform. 

How to set up an Online Service

1 - Sign up for Hotmart or access your Hotmart account. 

2 - Click on Products and then Register Product

3 - Choose the Online Consulting Services format and fill in the information about your service.

In basic information, you must fill in:

• Service name.
• Description (share what the service is and how it will be carried out).
• Language of the product.
• Main country for sales.
• Image.
• Category.

Then, choose the format of your sessions: 

• Single sessions or a package.
• In case of package, the number of sessions in the package.
• The frequency of the sessions (choose between weekly or biweekly; it cannot be monthly).

Next, set the dates and times you'll be available to customers:

After that, it's time to price your product:

• Currency;
• Guarantee period;

Next, you should share more details  about your service:

• Click on product content (it's optional, but we highly recommend it, as it helps potential buyers better understand your service).

Finally, you must complete your registration. To do so, on the Dashboard, click Save and Continue.

On this screen, you can add some notes that can help in the registration process and prove your authority in the service you’re going to provide.
