Learn how your booking links are built, so you can point customers at exactly the right page - your whole venue, one location, or a single session.
Every account gets a booking page at its own web address. From there, Session builds tidy links for each location and each session, so you can share a precise starting point on a poster, a social bio, or an email. Set your address once in Settings → Design, and the rest of your links follow from it.
Your booking page address
Your main booking page lives at bookasession.org/your-name. The last part - your-name - is your slug: the short, readable name that identifies your venue in the URL.
Set or change it in Settings → Design under Booking URL. As you type, Session checks the name is available and free of characters that would break the link.
Pick something short and recognisable - your venue name with no spaces is usually best. It appears on every link you share and on your booking poster, so make it easy to read aloud.
Changing your slug changes your main address. Any links you have already shared - posters, social bios, saved bookmarks - point at the old name and will no longer find your page. Settle on a slug before you print or publish anything, and re-share if you do change it later.
Location links
If you run more than one venue, each location gets its own link in the form bookasession.org/your-name/l/location-name. Opening it lands the customer on the calendar already filtered to that location.
Location links are managed in Settings → Company, where each location has its own URL field with a copy button.
- Open Settings → Company and find the location.
- Copy its link from the URL field.
- Use it on a poster, map listing, or social channel that belongs to that single venue.
A location's slug is generated from its name when you create it. Renaming the location later does not change the slug, so any link you have already shared keeps working.
Session links
Each session has its own link too, shown as Session URL in the session editor. By default a session link points at the template page, where the customer picks any available time. You can also share a link to a specific date and time.
Single-address venues get a link like bookasession.org/your-name/your-session. Multi-location venues' session links carry the location, so the customer lands on the right calendar.
Set a friendly Session URL in the session editor, rather than leaving the system-generated one. A readable link like .../sauna-evening is easier to put in an email or a story than a long id.
Share a session from the admin
You do not have to build session links by hand. Wherever a session appears in the admin, a Share button copies the right link for you:
- The Sessions list - copy a session's link straight from its row.
- The session calendar - open a session and copy its link from the pop-up.
- The session editor - a Share action sits in the editor header.
- The Add booking sheet - when you add a booking but want the customer to pay, share the link so they book and pay at checkout.
Each Share button copies a link that prefers your friendly Session URL and falls back to the system one. Where you are sharing a specific slot, the link deep-links to that exact date and time, so the customer skips straight to it.
Admin bookings do not take a card payment. If you need the customer to pay, the Share button in the Add booking sheet gives them a link to book and pay themselves - see adding a booking for a customer.
Common questions
-
Can I use my own domain instead of bookasession.org? Your booking page lives at
bookasession.org/your-name. To send people from your own website, add a link or button on your site that points at your booking page address. -
What happens to old links if I change my slug? Your main address changes to the new slug, and links built on the old one stop finding your page. Re-share anything you had already published. Location slugs behave differently - renaming a location does not change its slug, so location links keep working.
-
Why does a session link sometimes include
/l/? That is a location link. On multi-location accounts, session and location links carry the location so the customer lands on the right calendar instead of the default one. -
How do I put a link on a wall or table? Use the booking poster - it turns your booking page into a printable QR code that opens the page when scanned.
-
Can a customer who lost their confirmation find their booking from these links? Yes. Point them to your booking page, where they can use Find my booking - see guest self-service.
