Create a Video Consultation Category

To offer Video Consultations online, it is recommended that you create a dedicated Video Consultation Category and assign your services to it.

To create a new Video Consultation category, go to Manager > Categories > Service Categories and create a dedicated category like the one below.


Create a Video Consultation Service

Next, go to Manager > Services and add your new Video Consultation service. 

Give it a name like Hair Video Consultation or Facial Video Consultation and assign it to your new Video Consultations Category.

Set the Price and Duration then scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click the Online Video Consultations toggle switch to Yes

  If you are editing an existing service and have multiple locations in Phorest, please note that you can only enable this setting for all locations or none. You can enable this setting under Manager > Chain Library > Services Library.

Next, head to the Online & App tab.

First, include an online description explaining your video service.

Then, make sure this service is available online. Once you are satisfied with the remaining details and settings for this service, click Save.


Multiple Locations in Phorest

If you have multiple locations, go to the Branches tab and select any location where you want to offer this service.
