Event Types
Event types are the foundation of scheduling in NovaCal. They define the structure and settings of your meetings, allowing you to create templates for different kinds of appointments. Whether you need quick check-ins, lengthy consultations, or group sessions, event types help you standardize your scheduling process.
For online meetings, you can generate links for Google Meet or Zoom, but make sure you've integrated these apps first. Alternatively, for offline meetings, you can select the "offline" option or provide a custom location using free text (e.g., "123 Main Street, City Center"). You can also enable the group option to allow multiple participants. When setting up time slots, you can choose from preset durations of 15, 30, or 60 minutes, or select a custom duration, which lets other users choose a time that fits their schedule.
Paid Meetings
You can monetize your time by creating paid meetings with flexible pricing options. To make paid event type, you'll first need to integrate your PayPal account. Once you've integrated, enable payments and navigate to the Prices tab to add your desired pricing options.
There are two ways to price your meetings. First, you can set fixed-duration slots (15, 30, or 60 minutes) with specific prices for each. For example, charge $50 for a 30-minute slot, and create bundle pricing like $90 for two 30-minute slots.
Alternatively, for custom-duration pricing, the cost scales automatically based on time. With this option, clients can book any length of time, and the price adjusts proportionally. For instance, if you set a base rate of $50 per 30 minutes, a 90-minute booking would cost $150.
