Service categories
Updated on 2026-08-29
Categories group your services: in the calendar, and in the list the client gets to see online.
Make too many and you leave the client scrolling; make too few and you leave them searching.
Where do I find it?
Diensten & prijzen → Dienstcategorieën (Services & prices → Service categories).
The form
| Field | Mandatory | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Naam (name) | yes | for example Kleuring (colouring) |
| Kleur in de agenda (colour in the calendar) | no | De kleur van de blokjes van deze diensten. — the colour of the blocks of these services. |
| Volgorde (order) | no | Laag getal komt eerst. Zet vooraan wat je het vaakst doet. — a low number comes first. Put what you do most often up front. |
Dragging the order
In the list you can drag the rows. That order applies everywhere: in the Nieuwe afspraak (new appointment) window, at the till and on your booking page.
Services without a category always come last, under the heading Overige (other).
The list
Categorie (category), Kleur (colour) and Diensten (services) (the number of services in that category).
If there is nothing yet: Nog geen categorieën — Categorieën groeperen de diensten in de agenda en in de online boeking. — no categories yet — categories group the services in the calendar and in online booking.
Removing a category
There is a bin next to every row, and the same button sits at the top of the edit page. A category with no services attached disappears for good: a category only groups, and leaves nothing else behind.
If a service is attached, the window opens and says why nothing happens, with the figures. Deleting would take those services their grouping away in one click, in the calendar as well as in online booking, and a category cannot be archived or restored. Move those services to another category first; after that the bin opens.
Frequently asked questions
Which colour wins: the category's or the service's? You can set both. The colour on the service is the specific one; the colour on the category applies to the whole group.
I don't see a category list for products or packages. They do exist as data, but they have no management screen of their own. With packages you can only pick from categories that already exist.
