What is SHOPIFY's reservation function?

SHOPIFY's reservation function is a function that allows customers to make reservations for products and services. Customers can select items and schedules that can be reserved and complete the reservation procedure.

You can have the following functions:

  1. Reservation calendar

    1. You can set a calendar that displays the schedule and time zone that can be reserved. Customers can check the available date and time and select the date and time you want to make a reservation.

  2. Reservation form

    1. You can provide a form for entering information for reservations for customers. You can collect necessary information, such as the details of the reservation and the customer information.

  3. Inventory management and reservation management

    1. You can manage inventory management and reservation management of reserved items. The number of stocks is automatically updated and can be managed so that there is no duplicate reservations.

  4. Notification and reminder

    1. You can notify the reservation confirmation, notify the reservation change, and send the reminder. You can provide customers with information on reservations and notify the reservation details and changes.

By using these functions, customers can easily make reservations on the online store, preventing opportunities due to lack of stock.

How to implement the reservation function with SHOPIFY?

SHOPIFY has several ways to implement the reservation function.

  1. Use app

    1. Find an app that provides reservation systems and calendar management tools in the SHOPIFY app store, install and use in the Shopify store.

  2. Custom coding

    1. If you develop your own reservation function, you need to use the SHOPIFY theme file or API for app developers. This allows you to create your own reservation form, calendar, customer management, etc.

  3. Use a third -party reservation system

    1. You can also integrate a third -party reservation system in the Shopify store. Use an external reservation system to create a link and embed code to provide reservation functions, and place it on the appropriate page of the SHOPIFY store.

Of these steps, the easiest way is to use the app. Here are three apps that can implement the reservation function!
