Offering Services Beyond Tattoo (Piercing, PMU & Tooth Gems)

Turn on the other services you provide so clients can book them — not just tattoos.

Overview

The Services page lists the services your account can configure. Check the current offering and readiness status for each service. A service appearing in this list does not prove clients can book it.

There are two ideas to keep straight, because the product keeps them separate on purpose:

Offering a service means you tell Apprentice "I do this." It's a simple on/off choice.
Bookable means clients can actually book it. A service only becomes bookable after you finish its short readiness checklist (pricing, forms, and a compliance attestation).

Turning a service on does not make it bookable by itself — you also complete the checklist. This guide covers turning services on; see Activating a New Service: The Readiness Checklist for the checklist itself.

How to Access

As an artist:

Choose Your studio, then open More → Setup → Settings on mobile web
Under Get Booked, choose Services

As a shop owner or admin:

Switch to your shop workspace using the workspace switcher
Go to Settings → under Get Booked, click Services

(Only shop owners and admins can change the shop's services.)

Turning On a Service

As an artist — "Services you offer"

Each service has a simple toggle: Offer or Don't offer. Flip a service to Offer to declare that you personally provide it. This opens that service's readiness checklist below.

💡 Tip: You must offer at least one service at all times. Apprentice won't let you turn off your last remaining service.

As a shop — "Services Offered"

Shops use a three-way setting per service:

Auto — Advertise this service whenever one of your artists offers it. (The usual choice.)
On — Always advertise it, even if no artist currently offers it.
Off — Never advertise it. This overrides your artists.

What the Status Chips Mean

After you turn a service on, each service card shows a status:

Booking enabled — Live. Clients can book this service.
Not ready — You still have readiness steps to finish. A checklist appears below the card.
Ready when Apprentice enables this service — You've finished everything; the service is waiting on Apprentice to launch it platform-wide. Check the status shown for your account instead of assuming a service is available everywhere.
Paused — Your shop set this service to Off.

Check both the service status and your public booking flow after setup. Do not advertise a service as bookable while its status says it is waiting or not ready.

Tips

Start with one service and complete its checklist end-to-end before turning on the next — Apprentice activates services one at a time.
A shop's roster shows each artist's offered services, so clients can see who does what.
Offering a service is the first step, not the last. Watch for the Not ready chip and work the checklist beneath it.

Common Issues

I turned a service on but clients can't book it — Turning a service on only opens its readiness checklist. Finish every requirement on the card (see Activating a New Service: The Readiness Checklist) and the chip will change to Booking enabled.
I can't turn a service off — You must offer at least one service. Turn on another service first, then turn this one off.
A service shows "Paused" — Your shop set it to Off, which overrides individual artists. A shop owner or admin can switch it back to Auto or On on the shop's Services page.
