Before you start

Note

You'll need the business booking link — usually shared on their website, social media, or in a message.

Step-by-step

  1. Open the booking page

    Go to the link the business gave you — e.g. sway.app/their-business-name.

  2. Choose a service

    Browse sections and tap the service you want. Read the description, duration, and price.

    Tap a service to start booking.
  3. Pick a date and time

    Select from available slots. Greyed-out times are unavailable.

    Only open slots are selectable.
  4. Enter your details and confirm

    Add your name, email, and phone. Complete payment if required, then confirm the booking.
