Understanding Online, Physical, and Mobile Locations in Nabooki


In Nabooki, you can configure services to be offered at a physical location, online, or as a mobile service where you travel to customers. 
The location types differ in how service details are displayed in the customer's email notifications.

Physical Location (Default Setting)

  • Used when customers visit your business for their booking.
  • The business address is displayed on the booking tool and confirmation emails.
  • If you have multiple locations, customers can select their preferred branch during booking.

✅ Best for: Salons, clinics, studios, gyms, retail services, and any business operating from a fixed location.


Online Location

  • Used for virtual services, such as consultations, webinars, and coaching sessions.
  • The system will not display a physical address.
  • You can provide the meeting link manually or set up an automated email with access details.

✅ Best for: Virtual appointments, remote training, online workshops, and telehealth services.


Mobile Location

  • Used when you travel to customers instead of having them visit you.
  • The business address is hidden.
  • If needed, you can specify a service area in the description or use custom booking fields to confirm location suitability.
✅ Best for: Mobile beauty therapists, personal trainers, pet groomers, cleaning services, tour guides, and event planners.

AlertImportant: Nabooki does not enforce location restrictions for mobile services, so you may need to manually review bookings if necessary.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Can I offer services across multiple location types?
Yes! Each service can have its own location type, allowing you to mix physical, mobile, and online services.
Can I restrict bookings to a specific service area for mobile locations?

Nabooki does not automatically enforce service area restrictions, but you can:

  • Add a custom field for customers to enter their address.
  • Clearly state service area limits in the service description.
  • Manually review and confirm bookings based on location (you can change the service type to booking requests if needed)
What happens if I select the wrong location type?

You can always go back to Inventory > Services > Edit > General tab to update the location type.
