**Note:** This is a one-time setup and is required for booking to work on your store.

### B. Set Up Your Booking System

LUNA only requires **3 core steps** to start working on your store.

#### Step 1: Create your first service

A **service** connects a Shopify product with a booking schedule.

1. In the **Setup Guide**, click **Setup**.

   * You’ll be taken to the **Services** page.

2. Select a Shopify product to create a booking service.

* Each product can be linked to **one service only**.

Business hours determine **when customers can book appointments**.

1. In the Setup Guide, click **Go to settings** under **Business hours**.
2. You’ll be taken to **Availability settings**.
3. Set your operating days and time ranges.

#### Step 3: Add the “Schedule” button to your storefront

Now it’s time to make booking visible to customers.

1. Open the Shopify theme editor.
2. Click **Add block** on the product page.
3. Select the **Schedule Button** block.
4. Drag and drop the block to your desired position.

**Recommended placement:**

This placement makes booking easy to find for customers.

5. Click **Save** to publish your changes.

#### Step 4: Preview your booking experience

Before going live, preview how booking looks on your store.

1. In the Setup Guide, click **See it on store**.
2. You’ll be redirected to the live product page.

This step ensures your booking experience is both functional and visually aligned with your store.
