Core Concepts
Section titled “Core Concepts”Offerings
Section titled “Offerings”An offering is the public item you publish. Bookup includes Event and Appointment workflows, while modules can add or adapt additional offering behavior. An offering can include descriptions, an image, categories, locations, tags, labels, hosts, agenda information, booking options, and a public single page.
Sessions and recurrence
Section titled “Sessions and recurrence”A session is a bookable start and end time. You can add sessions manually for dates that do not follow a pattern, or define recurrence rules such as daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly schedules. The schedule preview helps you check generated sessions before customers see them.
Booking options
Section titled “Booking options”Booking options are what a customer selects and pays for. Events normally use tickets; appointment-style offerings normally use services. Each option can define a name, price, availability/count, and additional booking behavior. Appointment services can also use resources and capacity rules.
Resources
Section titled “Resources”Resources represent limited availability beyond the offering itself. A resource can be a staff member, room, vehicle, table, seat group, or piece of equipment. Bookup checks weekly availability, exceptions, capacity, and assignment rules to prevent conflicts.
Bookings and customers
Section titled “Bookings and customers”A booking stores the selected offering, session(s), option(s), participant details, payment status, and booking status. Customers can access eligible bookings through the customer portal; administrators can manage records from Bookup → Bookings.
