Services Setup

Navigate to Dog Walking > Services to manage your service offerings. Services define what you offer, how long each service takes, and how much it costs.

Adding a Service

Click Add New Service and fill in the following fields:

• Name — The service name displayed to customers (e.g., “30-Minute Walk”, “Full Day Pet Sitting”)
• Duration — How long the service takes. Can be specified in minutes, hours, or days.
• Base Rate — The price for one pet
• Additional Pet Rate — The extra charge for each additional pet included in the appointment
• Service Type — A category for the service (e.g., walk, sitting, grooming). You can create custom service types.
• Active/Inactive — Toggle whether the service is available for booking. Inactive services are hidden from the booking form and pricing display.

Filtering Services

Use the service type filter on the Services list to quickly find services of a specific type. This is especially useful as your service offerings grow.

CSV Import & Export

For bulk management, use the import and export tools:

• Export — Download all services as a CSV or JSON file
• Import — Upload a CSV or JSON file to add services in bulk. The importer validates each row and reports any errors.

Sample import files are available for download to help you format your data correctly.

• The [[dwb_booking_form]] shortcode — customers select a service when booking
