Create a booking page with Google Calendar (2026)

5 min read

What you’ll have at the end

One appointment schedule in Google Calendar, with a title, an appointment length and the hours you're available, and the link to its booking page copied, ready to paste into an email, a message or your website. Google calls the setup an appointment schedule, and the page people book from a booking page.

Before you start

You’ll need

  • A personal Google Account or a Google Workspace account
  • A computer with a supported web browser
  • A title for your appointments, such as "Consultation call"
  • How long each appointment lasts, and the days and hours you're available

What it costs. Google's help says a personal Google Account or Workspace Business Starter plan can create a single booking page. Extra features need a paid Google One or Workspace plan.

Please use a computer. Google's help says you can't create an appointment schedule in the Calendar app for Android or iPhone and iPad.

You need a personal Google Account or a Google Workspace account. If you use a work or school account, Google asks you to contact your administrator for help.

What your account can do depends on its plan. Google's comparison page says: - With a personal Google Account or the Workspace Business Starter plan, you can create a single booking page. - Creating more than one appointment schedule, sending automatic email reminders and checking availability across multiple calendars need Google One Premium, Google AI Pro or Google AI Ultra, or a Workspace Individual, Business Standard or Plus, Enterprise Standard or Plus, Education or Nonprofits plan. - Accepting payments and verifying bookers' emails to prevent spam bookings need one of those Workspace plans. Google One and Google AI plans don't include them. - Adding appointment schedules to secondary calendars, and up to 20 co-hosts, need Business Standard or Plus, Enterprise Standard or Plus, Education or Nonprofits.

This guide uses only what a personal account can do. No step asks you to pay.

Google says your booking page is always public. Anyone with the link can see the booking page, your profile photo and your account name.

Steps

  1. 1. Open Google Calendar

    On a computer, go to calendar.google.com and sign in to the Google Account you'd like people to book with.

  2. 2. Click Create

    At the top left, click Create.

  3. 3. Select Appointment schedule

    Select Appointment schedule. The Bookable appointment schedule panel opens on the left.

  4. 4. Enter a title

    Click Add title and type a title for your appointments. Google says anyone with the link to your booking page can see the title.

  5. 5. Choose the Appointment duration

    Under Appointment duration, click the Down arrow and select how long each appointment lasts. For a length that isn't listed, select Custom.

  6. 6. Set your General availability

    Under General availability, set the days, times and time zone you're available. For appointments that repeat weekly, next to a time slot, you can select: - Unavailable all day, to make yourself unavailable that day. - Add another period to this day, to add a second time slot on the same day. - Copy time to all, to give every day the same hours.

  7. 7. Click Next

    Click Next. The panel now shows your booking page settings.

  8. 8. Check your name and photo

    Check how your name and photo are shown on your booking page. Google says that to change them, you update your personal info in your Google Account.

  9. 9. Click Select how and where to meet

    Click Select how and where to meet, and choose how you'll meet, such as by Google Meet video call, in person or by phone.

  10. 10. Click Save

    Click Save. Your appointment schedule is saved.

  11. 11. Find your booking page

    On the left, under Booking pages, hover over the booking page you just made.

  12. 12. Click Copy link

    Click Copy link. The link to your booking page is now copied. This guide ends here.

If something looks different

  • If you can't find Appointment schedule on a work or school account, please ask your administrator.
  • Google says that by default there's a 4-hour minimum lead time to book. If you open your booking page and don't see the next few hours, that's why. You can change it under Scheduling window (Google's help).
  • Booking confirmations and reminders: Google says automatic email reminders need a paid plan, listed in Before you start.
  • Payments & cancellation policy: Google says you request payment after connecting a Stripe account to Calendar, and that accepting payments needs one of the Workspace plans listed in Before you start. This guide doesn't use it.
  • Calendars: with a personal account, your appointments go on your primary calendar. Google says secondary calendars need Business Standard or Plus, Enterprise Standard or Plus, Education or Nonprofits, and checking several calendars for availability needs a paid plan.
  • You can also fill in Description and Booking form before you save. Google says the booking form already includes required fields for first name, last name and email address.
  • To put the booking page on a website instead of sharing a link, Google's sharing help describes embedding it. Google says Google Sites supports an inline booking page.
