How to Set Up Your Wix Booking Funnel Back-End (Growth)

In order to utilize Wix's more advanced features like removing Wix's tacky banner from your site, accepting payments, automations, etc., you'll have to upgrade to Wix Premium.

However, I want you to wait until you receive an offer for 50% off!

You'll find the details about the 50% off coupon in two ways:

1. You will receive an email with an offer to upgrade approximately every 8 days; and,

2. You'll see a graphic when you log into your Wix account that looks like this:

When you see it, hop on it!

But please know that if you don't see it quite yet, you can move forward with setting up most of your back-end without upgrading just yet!

**IMPORTANT** This is not the correct offer:

UPGRADING YOUR WIX ACCOUNT

1. First, let's upgrade to Wix Business Unlimited. This upgrade allows you to:

- Accept bookings
- Accept payments
- Remove the Wix banner ads from your public site

2. Once that's complete, you'll then want to upgrade your Wix Ascend Plan. This will give you upgraded back-end features like access to more forms and automations. Here's how to do that:

Once you've upgraded your account, you're ready to set up your general information!

Here's what I input for the short description (150 characters)

When thinking about your short description

Now that you've set yourself up as a "Staff Member" and added your default availability, there's one more sneaky little step that you have to take, and that's to add yourself to your service list.

Here's how to do that:

OPTIONAL: Your "Thank You" email is yet another opportunity to have some fun, showcase your brand's personality, and give your customer service a high-end touch!

One way that you can surprise and delight your customers by adding a video of you thanking them for booking you!

Sample "Thank You" script:

Thank you so much for booking me for your (hair/makeup/lashes)! I am SO passionate about helping people (insert what you're passionate about, i.e.- have their healthiest hair ever) and I hope that you not only loved your (hair/makeup/lashes), but that you felt as beautiful as you looked!

Don't forget! As a booked client, you're now a member of my VIP club which means you now have exclusive access to special pricing every time you book! So, when you're ready to book your next appointment, simply click the button below and that will take you directly to my VIP calendar.

I look forward to seeing you again soon!

The next step is optional, but I wanted to show you how you can add a chat widget to your funnel!

Live chat is a great option to increase your booking rate because it allows you to interact with your customers in real-time. However, there are some "cons" that come along with live chat as well.

So, watch this video to understand the Pros + Cons of activating live chat on your funnel, and how to get it set up if you choose to activate this feature:

If you currently have an email list or client list in another system, and want to import them into Wix, this video will show you how to do it in just a few clicks!

You have two options when it comes to connecting a domain to your booking funnel:

1. You can purchase a brand new domain directly through Wix; or,
2. You can connect an existing domain to your funnel

Watch this video for a real-time walkthrough of both options!:

Next, you're going to set up your very first Wix automation! This automation will send an email to the customers who opt-in to your VIP Club.
