How flash only works
Yes, you can take flash and nothing else. Every studio has two separate switches: Requests for custom work and Flash for your designs. Close the first and leave the second on, and clients can only book flash.
It is set per studio and per event, so you can run a flash only guest spot while your home studio takes custom requests as normal.
Setting it up
Step 1: Open Home Locations
Go to Settings, Scheduling, Home Locations and tap Requests / Flash on the studio.Step 2: Close requests
Under Requests, choose Closed. Add a reopen date if custom work is coming back, then press Save.Step 3: Leave Flash on
Check the Flash switch is on, then press Done.
Letting clients book flash without asking first
How a design is booked is set on the design itself, with two switches: Allow Enquiries and Instant Booking. For clients to pick a size and a time and pay the deposit on their own, turn Instant Booking on. To stop them asking first, turn Allow Enquiries off on that design.
Both switches, and the pricing table Instant Booking needs, are covered in Selling and reserving flash.
What clients see
Your flash page works as normal. Clients choose a design and book it from there. A custom request to that studio is turned away, or joins your waitlist if you chose Waitlist.
A client can still put several designs in one booking, up to five. See Booking several designs at once.
Taking custom work again
Tap Requests / Flash on the studio and set Requests back to Open. If you set a reopen date, it happens by itself on that day.
