Can a customer book a service that would run past our closing time?
A. Currently, Yocale (or RGW) does not support clients booking a service that runs into the closing time. Fun tip: To get around this, consider extending the schedule by 30 minutes (to allow leeway). You always have the option to create by request appointments and make the decision to accept or decline late bookings based on how your day is looking!

A. Good question! 🎥 Refer to this video which guides you on thee requirements needed to go live on Google Reserve!
How much does Reserve with Google cost?
A. Reserve With Google is Free! There is no additional charge or fee for being a part of the program. It is a free service to help make your clients’ booking experience that much easier.
How am I notified of bookings through Reserve with Google?
A. Bookings automatically appear on your Yocale Calendar. In addition, if you have your Yocale booking notifications ON, then you will also be notified by either email or SMS. With the likelihood of an increased volume of bookings coming through the Reserve with Google program, we recommend you take a moment to review your notification settings.
What do my customers experience when booking on the Widget?
- When a client lands on your booking widget, they can select either the location(s), service(s), or staff they’d like to book > This will bring up the selected availability to book.
- Once the time and staff member has been selected, the client will proceed to login
Once logged in, the client can review their booking details, complete forms that are associated with the service, or add additional comments to the booking. Selecting Complete Booking confirms this appointment.
- If the client has an account, they can log in with their Yocale account, Gmail, or Facebook, or register for a new account with a couple of pieces of information.
- Lastly, the client will be navigated to the confirmation page of their booking, where they can see details in full, get directions to your location, add the appointment to their calendar, print the appointment details, call your business, or share these details with someone else.
- The client will also receive these booking confirmations and details via email, SMS, or both depending on the information they’ve entered.
Does the booking widget support multi-location bookings?
A. Absolutely. In addition, clients can:
- Select single or multiple locations depending on their proximity or service preference
