- [Service types](https://docs.tipo.io/tipo-appointment-booking/service-setup/service-types.md): The service types are based on payment options and service duration.
- [Create a service](https://docs.tipo.io/tipo-appointment-booking/service-setup/create-a-service.md): Create a service in Tipo Appointment Booking so customers can book time slots (or full-day / multi-day services) and you can manage availability, payments, and booking rules.
- [Regular Booking Service (Book by time slot)](https://docs.tipo.io/tipo-appointment-booking/service-setup/regular-booking-service-book-by-time-slot.md): Regular Booking is the best option for services that happen in fixed time slots (minutes or hours), like haircuts, consultations, tutoring, or classes.
- [Full-day service](https://docs.tipo.io/tipo-appointment-booking/service-setup/full-day-service.md): A Full-day Service lets customers book an entire day instead of a time slot. This is ideal for rentals, day-long sessions, or appointments that take the whole day.
- [Multi-day service](https://docs.tipo.io/tipo-appointment-booking/service-setup/multi-day-service.md): A Multi-day Service lets customers book a date range (start date → end date). This is perfect for rentals or events that last multiple days.
- [Payment Options Overview](https://docs.tipo.io/tipo-appointment-booking/service-setup/payment-options-overview.md)
- [Free Booking (Book without Payment)](https://docs.tipo.io/tipo-appointment-booking/service-setup/free-booking-book-without-payment.md): Use Free booking when you want customers to book a time slot without paying online. The app will still create appointments and keep your calendar organized, no checkout step.

- [Allow customers to choose a payment method](https://docs.tipo.io/tipo-appointment-booking/service-setup/allow-customers-to-choose-a-payment-method.md)
- [Assign Locations](https://docs.tipo.io/tipo-appointment-booking/service-setup/assign-locations.md): Use locations to tell customers where the appointment happens: in-store, online, at a studio, etc. A clear location helps avoid confusion and makes your calendar easier to manage.
