Is there a way to create Appointment categories?

Hey there, love the option to categorize services but can't seem to find a way to make the category groups visible to our customers booking online. 
We have a wide range of services and it just gives them one huge list to scroll through. We can edit the order of this list but not have categories visible. 
Currently using Timely as our appointment system solely for this reason - Please let me know if there's a way of using categories for our clients to view/choose from when booking themselves! 😁
Would really like to just be using square! Everything else is amazing

I have found a in system workaround until this is finally resolved.

 

Add a BOOK button to your site - once clicked, it creates a pop up and your services are listed under each category. 

 

Still not ideal for the appointment landing page - its still a long list and a hot mess - but at least is kinda something for now...

Thanks for adding this workaround @BobbysBeauty! Appointment Categories is in the development pipeline - though we don't have an ETA to share at the moment, it should be coming at some point in the future.

AAAAGGGGHH, 

I've spent days trying to figure out how to categories my services and I'm only just finding this now.

Side note, where are my photos? What's the point of having these options on my back end when they aren't available for my clients? I don't need picture icons but navigation for my clients would be great!

Looks like I'll finally get some sleep tonight, instead of aimlessly scrolling through setup.

7 years of waiting for some 🤔

Hi @JR82 👋
 

I hear your frustration about not having photos displayed on your online booking page. This is a popular feature request and feedback I've been passing on to our team continuously. 

 

Right now, you can categorise, and re-order how categories are displayed via this guide
