Set up Excluded Services for Service Charges (Alpha)

How to stop a specific Service Charge from applying to appointments that include selected services, and what happens when an appointment mixes excluded and non-excluded services.

Written by Marina

šŸ”’ Alpha: This feature is currently in alpha and limited to select accounts. We’ll reach out if your account qualifies.

Service Charges let you add fees — like travel fees or admin fees — that can apply automatically at checkout. See Setting Up Service Charge & Custom Fees → for the full setup guide.

This article explains how to exclude specific services from an auto-applied Service Charge — so appointments like Membership Baths aren’t charged a fee that shouldn’t apply to them.

How It Works

  • Excluded Services is only available for fees set to Each Appointment with Auto-Apply During Checkout turned on.

  • The service list shown is filtered to match the fee’s care type.

  • If an appointment includes any excluded service, this fee is skipped for the whole appointment — even if the appointment also includes services that aren’t excluded.

  • Each fee’s Excluded Services list works independently. Excluding a service from one fee doesn’t affect any other fees on the same appointment.

Setting Up Excluded Services

  1. Open a Service Charge: Go to Settings > Services > Service Charges and open (or create) a fee with Applicable to: Each Appointment and Auto-Apply During Checkout turned on.

  2. Select Excluded Services: In the Excluded Services field, choose the services that should never trigger this fee.

  3. Save: Save the Service Charge. The exclusion applies the next time a matching appointment is checked out.

šŸ“ Note: During Alpha, this option only appears for whitelisted accounts.

Limitations

  • Only available for fees set to Each Appointment with Auto-Apply turned on — not for Each Pet fees or fees added manually.

  • Currently in Alpha and limited to whitelisted accounts.

  • Not yet available for Boarding & Daycare Custom Fees or in the mobile app configuration screens.
