Syncing your booking and Google calendars

When you sync your Google and booking calendars, all class and course sessions appear in both calendars. In addition, personal appointments from your Google calendar block off time in your booking calendar to avoid any overlap.

3. Click Save.

Click Unsync to remove all past and future Bookings sessions from the Google Calendar. All Google events will also be removed from your booking calendar.

Inviting your staff to sync their calendars

Invite your staff to sync their calendars to avoid scheduling conflicts. Only registered staff members can sync their calendar. Make sure to give your staff the necessary permissions. Your staff member then receives an invite email where they click to sync their calendars. In the Staff tab, their card updates to show they've synced their Google Calendar.

Your staff member's private appointments will not be visible in Wix Bookings. Instead, the time appears as 'Busy' in the booking calendar.

Before you begin:

Make sure you've upgraded your site so you can sync your staff members' Google calendars with Wix Bookings.

To invite your staff to sync their calendars:

1. Go to Staff in your site's dashboard.

2. Click the relevant staff member.

3. Click Invite to Sync Calendar.

   Note: Only registered staff members can sync their calendar. Make sure to give your staff the necessary permissions.

4. (Optional) Edit the message you will send to your staff member.

5. Click Email Invite to email your staff members instructions on syncing their calendars. Once your staff member clicks the invite link in their email, their calendars will sync.

Troubleshooting issues with Google Calendar syncing

If the events from your Google calendar aren't appearing in Wix, or vice versa, please follow these steps below:

Step1 | Confirm the Google account.

Check the email address of the Google account synced to the booking calendar, and make sure you're logged in to the correct Google account. You can hover over the Info icon

next to the relevant profile in the Staff tab in the dashboard.

Step 2 | Check which of your Google calendars the event appears

Currently, only the primary Google calendar can sync with Wix Bookings. Make sure the event is on your primary calendar. Your primary calendar in Google appears at the top of the list of your calendars.

Step 4 | Make sure the event isn't an all-day event

If your event is marked as 'All Day' or 'Free' on Google, it won't appear in your Booking Calendar.

FAQs

We are here to help with all your questions. Click a question below to learn more.

Which Google calendar can I sync with Wix Bookings?

Wix Bookings syncs only to the primary Google calendar.

Do 'All day' Google events appear in my booking calendar?

When you add an event to your Google calendar, the time between the event’s start and end time is blocked off in your booking calendar. This way you appear unavailable to prevent double bookings.

The 'All Day' function in the Google calendar does not block off time in your booking calendar. Make sure to set a start and end time manually in your booking calendar to prevent double booking.
