Booking on a phone, step Service Overview

Why does my appointment say "Pending"?

Some studios confirm each booking by hand (for all services or only for some). Such an appointment has the status Pending after you book, and at the end of the booking it says "Your appointment is booked. Once it is confirmed, you will be notified."

  • When the studio confirms it, the status changes to Confirmed. If you entered an email address, a confirmation is sent to it.
  • If you pay by card, nothing is charged before the studio confirms.
  • While the appointment is pending you can cancel or move it, if the studio allows it.

If the confirmation takes long, contact the studio directly.

How do I know my booking went through?

  • At the end of the booking the Confirmation step opens with "Appointment Successfully Booked!" and the details of your appointment. There you can click Download Confirmation or Share.
  • The appointment appears straight away in Profile & History → Active Bookings.
  • If you entered an email address, a booking confirmation is sent to it. For an appointment the studio still has to confirm, the email comes after it confirms.

If the email does not arrive, check your spam folder and whether Email Notifications are on in Settings.

Can I choose the staff member?

Yes. In the Service Overview step, under Select Staff, choose a staff member who does that service. You then see only their free times.

If you choose Any Staff Member, you see all free times and LineUp gives the appointment to a free staff member who does that service.

If it says "No Staff for This Service", the studio has not given that service to anyone at the moment. Choose another service or contact the studio.

Why can't I see free times for today or for dates far ahead?

Each studio decides how far ahead you can book:

  • how late before the start you can still book (1 hour by default);
  • how many days ahead at most (30 days by default).

Times outside these limits are not shown. There are also none on days the studio is closed, or when all staff are busy or away.

If you need an appointment at short notice or for a later date, contact the studio directly. It can book you in itself.

Which time zone are appointment times shown in?

In the studio's time zone, not your device's. If your device is in another time zone, when you pick a time it says e.g. "Times are in Zagreb time, where the studio is."

The same goes for Active Bookings and for messages. If you book from another country, the time of your booking is the local time where the studio is.

I stopped my booking at the payment step. Is the time kept for me?

When you click Go to Payment, the time is kept for you until you finish. An unfinished booking is deleted after 30 minutes and the time is free again.

  • If you did pay within that time, LineUp finishes the booking by itself.
  • If you did not pay, book again. The same time may no longer be free.

Can I book several services in one booking?

No. One booking is one service at one time. For another service make a new booking, e.g. for the time right after the first one.

How do I book the same service again?

  1. Open Profile & History → Service History.
  2. On a completed appointment, click Rebook.
  3. A booking opens at the same studio with the service already chosen. Pick a new time and go on as usual.

Where do I see my bookings?

In the menu (on a phone, the ☰ icon at the top right), in the Profile & History section:

  • Active Bookings: upcoming appointments and places in a queue, with the status, address, time and how it is paid. This is where you cancel or change an appointment.
  • Service History: your appointments except cancelled ones, both upcoming and past. This is also where the Rebook button for the same service is.

If you don't see an appointment you booked on another device, log in with a code sent to the email or phone you entered when booking.

The studio booked me in by phone or at the front desk. Where do I see that appointment?

The appointment is saved with the contact the studio entered.

  1. Log in to LineUp with a code sent to that email or phone number.
  2. Open Profile & History → Active Bookings.

If the studio sent you a payment link, you can also add the appointment to your bookings on the payment page (Add it to my bookings).

If you still don't see it, the studio may have entered another contact or none. Contact the studio.

How can I pay for my appointment?

You choose how to pay at the end of the booking. You only see the options the studio offers.

  1. Pick the service and the time, and enter your details.
  2. In the Booking Summary step, enter a discount code or a gift voucher if you have one. Then click Go to Payment.
  3. In the Payment step, under Payment Method, choose:
    • Credit or Debit Card: you pay online, through Stripe;
    • Pay at Location: you book with Book Now - Pay Later and pay in the studio. On a tablet or computer, the label next to it says whether the studio takes cash, card or both.

If the service is free, or a gift voucher covers the whole price, there is nothing to pay. You book with Book Now.

If the studio asks a deposit for the service, paying at the location is not offered: you pay the deposit by card.

If the studio confirms bookings by hand, nothing is charged to your card before it confirms.

When is my card charged?

A booking paid online is charged when the studio's free cancellation ends. If you cancel in time, you pay nothing and there is no refund to wait for.

When you book What happens to your card
Free cancellation is already over, ends in less than an hour, or the studio does not allow cancelling charged right away
Free cancellation ends within 5 days the amount is held on your card and charged when it ends
Free cancellation ends later Stripe saves your card securely and charges it when it ends

Example: the studio offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before. On Monday you book Saturday at 10:00. The amount is held on your card and charged on Friday at about 10:00.

Where you see it:

  • before you pay, in the Cancellation box (e.g. "Your card is saved and charged on …, when free cancellation ends."). The button shows the date too: Book · 25 EUR on …;
  • after booking, under Profile & History → Active Bookings, in Payment: "Charged to your card on …".

If the studio confirms bookings by hand, nothing is charged before it confirms.

My card shows an amount on hold, but no money has been taken. Why?

That is a hold (an authorisation). LineUp uses it when free cancellation ends within 5 days, and when the studio confirms bookings by hand:

  • the amount stays held on your card;
  • it is charged only when free cancellation ends. With studios that confirm bookings by hand, it is charged only after they confirm;
  • if you cancel in time or the studio cancels, the hold is released and nothing is charged;
  • if the studio does not confirm before the hold runs out, the booking is cancelled and nothing is charged.

How quickly a released hold disappears from your statement depends on your bank.

How do I pay online, and is it safe?

You pay online by card (credit or debit). You enter it in the Card Details field.

  • The payment goes through Stripe. LineUp does not see your card number.
  • When the card is charged later, Stripe saves it securely for that booking.
  • Other ways of paying online, such as PayPal, are not offered at the moment.

If you do not want to pay online and the studio does not require it, choose Pay at Location.

Why can't I pay by card?

Credit or Debit Card appears only when:

  • the studio takes online payments, and
  • the studio can take card payments right now.

If either is missing, you only see Pay at Location. You then book and pay in the studio.

There is no card option either when there is nothing to pay, for example a free service or a gift voucher that covers the whole price.

Does LineUp charge me a fee?

No. You pay only the price of the service set by the studio, less a discount if you have one. LineUp charges its fee to the studio, not to you.

For a service at your address, the price may also include travel and parking. The studio sets these amounts, and you see them in the price before you pay.

Which currency do I pay in?

In the currency of the studio's prices. That is the currency of the studio's country:

The studio is in Currency
the United Kingdom GBP
the United States USD
Switzerland CHF
Pakistan PKR
other countries EUR

You see the amount and the currency before you pay. The same goes for deposits, payment links and gift vouchers. If your card is in another currency, your bank converts it on its own terms.

Do I get an invoice for an appointment I paid for?

The studio issues invoices, not LineUp. If you need one, ask the studio.

LineUp sends you a booking confirmation by e-mail. With a deposit, it also shows the amount paid by card and the amount you pay in the studio.

When you pay by card, Stripe also e-mails you a payment receipt, to the e-mail on the booking. It shows that the payment went through; it is not the studio's invoice.

You see how a booking is paid under Profile & History → Active Bookings, in Payment. You may see:

  • Paid by card or Deposit by card;
  • To pay in the studio;
  • Paid by gift voucher;
  • Refunded to your card.

My payment link says it has expired or was withdrawn. What now?

A link is valid until the deadline the studio set, or until you pay. The deadline is never after the appointment starts.

Message What it means
"This payment link has expired. Please contact the studio." the deadline has passed
"The studio has withdrawn this payment link." the studio withdrew it or sent a new one; an appointment has only one open link, so use the newest
"This appointment is already paid. Thank you!" nothing to do
"This appointment can no longer be paid. Please contact the studio." the appointment was cancelled, is over or has started

If you do not pay by the deadline, the studio has already chosen what happens: the appointment is cancelled, or it stays as it is. If it is cancelled, you are notified. When the studio chooses cancelling, the e-mail with the request says so.

How do I add an appointment from a payment link to my bookings?

If the appointment is already on your account, you see My bookings after paying. If not, after paying the page shows Add it to my bookings (while the appointment has not started yet):

  1. Click Send me a code. The code goes to the phone or e-mail the studio has for this appointment. The page shows that contact partly hidden, and if the studio has both, you choose where.
  2. Enter the code you received.
  3. You see "Added to your bookings." The appointment is now in Active Bookings, and you get its reminders.
  • The code is valid for 10 minutes.
  • After 5 wrong tries, ask for a new code.
  • You can ask for a new code after one minute (Send a new code).

Only that appointment is added. Your account is not merged with anything.

Your device remembers the payment links you opened on it. Appointments from them that are not on your account yet are listed in Active Bookings, under "From payment links on this device".

An amount is already held on my card, and the studio sends a new link for more. Will I pay twice?

No. A studio sometimes raises the price, for example for an extra when it comes to your address. It cannot raise an amount already held, so it sends you a link for the new total.

  • The amount held so far stays on your card until you pay the new one.
  • Once the new payment goes through, the old hold is released.
  • An appointment is always charged once.

If you do not pay the new amount by the deadline, what the studio chose for an expired link applies.

What is a deposit, and how much is it?

A deposit is a part of the price you pay by card when you book online. You pay the rest in the studio. A studio may ask it for all services or only for some.

  • The studio sets the amount, as a percentage of the price or as a fixed amount.
  • It is worked out from the price after discounts.
  • If a gift voucher pays part of the price, the deposit is worked out from what is left.
  • If the deposit is equal to the price or more, you pay the whole price by card. You then see: "For this service the studio asks for payment by card when you book."
  • The smallest deposit is 0.50 in the studio's currency, because Stripe does not take smaller card payments.

You see the amounts in the Booking Summary step, e.g. "Deposit now: €40.00 · In the studio: €40.00".

The deposit is charged to your card by the same rule as a full price: when free cancellation ends. You pay the rest in the studio, the way the studio takes payments. The rest cannot be paid online.

Bookings the studio enters itself, for example when you book by phone, have no deposit.

Why can't I choose to pay in the studio?

Because the studio asks a deposit by card for this service. The Payment step then offers only Credit or Debit Card, and you pay the rest of the price in the studio.

If the studio cannot take card payments at that moment, no deposit is asked. You then book and pay in the studio, as usual.

Can I pay the whole price now instead of a deposit?

Yes, if the studio allows it. In the Payment step, below the card details, you then choose:

  • Pay the deposit … now, … in the studio, or
  • Pay the whole price … now. Then there is nothing left to pay in the studio.

If you see "Deposit … by card now, the rest … you pay in the studio." instead of a choice, the studio takes only the deposit online, and you pay the rest in the studio.

Do I get my deposit back if I cancel?

The studio's cancellation rules apply to the deposit. You see them before you pay, in the Cancellation box.

Case Deposit
You cancel within free cancellation it is not charged; if it already was, all of it comes back
You cancel later, before the appointment starts the percentage the studio set for late cancellations comes back (it may be 0 %)
You do not come the percentage the studio set for no-shows comes back (usually nothing)
The studio cancels all of it comes back
The appointment takes place the deposit is part of the price; you pay only the rest in the studio

How do I cancel an appointment?

  1. Open Profile & History → Active Bookings (on the device you booked on, or logged in).
  2. On the appointment's card, click the cross (×) button.
  3. In the Cancel Booking window, check what it says about getting money back and click Cancel Appointment.

The time is freed in the studio's schedule at once. If you entered an email address, you get a cancellation confirmation.

The studio sets the deadline for free cancellation, and you see it before booking, in the Cancellation box. If the studio hasn't changed it, it is 24 hours before the appointment.

Why can't I cancel my appointment?

You don't see the cross (×) button, or cancelling fails, when:

  • the studio does not take cancellations online (the Cancellation box says "This studio does not take cancellations online; please contact the studio.");
  • you pay in the studio and the free cancellation deadline has passed;
  • the appointment has already started;
  • the appointment is not on your account: you booked on another device or the studio booked you in. Log in with a code sent to the contact on the booking.

In these cases, cancel directly with the studio.

How much do I get back if I cancel a booking paid online?

It depends on the studio's cancellation rule. You see the exact amount before you confirm.

  1. Open Profile & History → Active Bookings.
  2. On the booking, click the button with the cross (×).
  3. The Cancel Booking window shows one of these:
    • "Nothing has been charged yet: cancelling now is free."
    • "… goes back to your card (in about 5–10 working days)."
    • "Free cancellation is over: under the studio's rule nothing is refunded."
  4. Click Cancel Appointment or Keep Booking.

The rules:

  • Until the free cancellation deadline, cancelling is free. Anything already paid comes back in full.
  • After the deadline, you can still cancel a booking paid online, up to the start of the appointment. The percentage the studio set comes back, and it may be 0 %.
  • If you do not come, the no-show percentage comes back, usually nothing.
  • The rule the studio had when you booked applies. Later changes to the rule do not affect your booking.

If the studio does not take cancellations online, the booking has no cancel button, and before you pay the Cancellation box says "This studio does not take cancellations online; please contact the studio."

I pay in the studio. Can I cancel after the free cancellation deadline?

Not online. In the app, a booking you pay in the studio can be cancelled only until the deadline for free cancellation. After that, the cancel button is gone, so contact the studio directly.

A booking paid online can be cancelled up to its start. The studio's rule decides what comes back.

The studio cancelled my appointment. What happens to my money?

When the studio cancels, you get everything back automatically. You do not need to ask.

  • If your card was already charged, the full amount comes back. You get an e-mail: "… has refunded … to your card."
  • If the amount was only held, or your card was saved, nothing is charged.
  • If a gift voucher paid a part, that amount goes back to the voucher.

Can I change the time of my appointment myself?

Only while the appointment waits for the studio's confirmation (status Pending), if the studio allows changes and if the appointment is further away than the free cancellation deadline. Then:

  1. In Active Bookings, click the pencil icon on the appointment.
  2. In the Modify Appointment window, choose a new date and time.
  3. Click Confirm Change.

You can change only the time, not the service or the staff member.

You can't move a Confirmed appointment yourself. Contact the studio, or cancel it (while you still can) and book a new one.

When will I see the refund on my card?

A refund goes back to the card you paid with. Depending on your bank, it usually shows on your statement in 5–10 working days. You get an e-mail when the refund is sent.

If the amount was only held on your card, there is no refund: the hold is released. When it disappears from your statement depends on your bank.

How do I ask for a refund if I did not cancel?

For example, when you are not happy with the service or were charged by mistake:

  1. Contact the studio. The studio decides on refunds, and it may always give back more than its rule says. In the app it can do this up to 90 days after the appointment.
  2. After that, or if you cannot agree with the studio, contact LineUp support (info@lineup.direct).
Before you dispute a payment with your bank (a chargeback), contact the studio or LineUp support. It is usually solved faster that way.

How do I buy a gift voucher online?

You can buy a gift voucher from a studio that sells them online:

  • on the studio's page, click Buy a gift voucher, and while booking, the Gift voucher link in the header with the studio;
  • in search, such studios have the Gift vouchers label, and the Only studios with gift vouchers: filter shows only them;
  • some studios also have the purchase page on their own website.
  1. Choose For a treatment (a voucher for one service) or An amount.
  2. Pick the treatment, or an amount the studio offers. If the studio allows it, you can also type your own amount within its range.
  3. Under Who is it for?, choose to send it to someone else or to yourself.
  4. Add their name and a message if you like. Both are printed on the voucher.
  5. Under Your details, enter your name and e-mail. The confirmation goes to that e-mail.
  6. Enter your card and click Pay …. The amount is charged right away.

You do not need an account. The studio is the seller. A treatment voucher costs what the treatment costs on the day you buy it.

When the voucher is for you, the PDF comes to your e-mail. The thank-you page also shows the code and "Valid until".

If you see "… does not sell gift vouchers online right now.", ask the studio. It can also issue a voucher itself.

The Gift voucher page on a phone: the choice between For a treatment and An amount, the treatments with their prices, and Who is it for?

How do I send a gift voucher to someone on a chosen day, e.g. a birthday?

  1. Under Who is it for?, choose Someone else: we e-mail it to them.
  2. Enter Their e-mail. The purchase cannot go through without it.
  3. Under Send it on (optional), pick the date. If you leave it empty, the voucher goes out right away.

Buying a gift voucher on a phone: Someone else is chosen, with the fields Their name, Their e-mail and Send it on

What happens next:

  • On the chosen day at about 9:00, studio time, they get an e-mail with the voucher (PDF), your name and your message.
  • The date can be at most a year ahead.
  • You get the purchase confirmation right away, but without the voucher code. Only the person the voucher is for gets the code.
The voucher is valid from the day you buy it, not from the day it is sent. If you want to hand it over yourself, choose Send it to me: I will give it myself.

How do I use a gift voucher when booking?

  1. Book as usual, at the studio that issued the voucher.
  2. In the Booking Summary step, click Have a discount code or a gift voucher?.
  3. In the Coupon or gift voucher code field, enter the code from the voucher, with or without dashes, and click Apply.
  4. You see "Gift voucher applied" (for a treatment voucher "Gift voucher applied: it pays this service"), and below the price the lines Paid by gift voucher and To pay.
  • If the voucher covers the whole price, the amount in the Payment step shows "nothing to pay". No card is needed, and you book with Book Now.
  • If it does not cover everything, you pay the rest by card or in the studio, as the studio offers.
  • If the studio asks a deposit, the voucher is used first, and the deposit is worked out from what is left.
  • You can use one gift voucher per booking.

You can also bring the voucher to the studio. The studio then applies it to your appointment.

Can I spend an amount voucher over several visits? How do I know what is left?

An amount voucher (e.g. €100) is spent over several bookings until nothing is left. A treatment voucher is used once.

  • When you apply a voucher to a booking, the amount it pays is set aside for that appointment. You cannot spend it on another booking meanwhile.
  • If you cancel in time, the amount goes back to the voucher.
  • If the voucher holds less than the appointment costs, it pays what it holds, and you pay the difference.

Check the balance on the studio's gift voucher page (the Buy a gift voucher button on the studio's page, or the link the studio gave you): under Check a voucher's balance, enter the code and click Check. You see what is left and until when the voucher is valid. While booking, the Paid by gift voucher line shows what the voucher pays for that appointment.

My voucher is for one treatment, but I want another or a longer one. Is that possible?

A treatment voucher is for one named service, e.g. "Massage 60 min".

  • The same service: the voucher covers all of it, even if the studio has raised the price since.
  • A dearer service in the same group of the studio (e.g. a longer massage): the voucher covers what the voucher's service costs today, and you pay the difference.
  • A different service, or a cheaper one in the same group: the voucher does not apply, and you see "This gift voucher is for another service". Ask the studio whether it can help.

How long is a gift voucher valid? Can it be extended?

The studio sets the validity:

  • the purchase page says "Valid for … months from the purchase.";
  • the voucher itself says "Valid until".

The voucher must be valid when you book. Once it expires, what is left on it can no longer be used, and booking shows "This gift voucher has expired".

The studio can extend a voucher, even after it has expired: it then works again with what was left on it. If yours expires soon or has expired, contact the studio.

My gift voucher code does not work. Why?

A code has 12 characters in the form XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. Dashes and spaces do not matter. The characters 0, O, 1, I and L are never used in codes.

Message What it means
"This code is not valid" the code does not exist, the voucher is from another studio (not one of the same owner), or its purchase has not been paid yet
"This gift voucher is not valid in this studio" the voucher is valid only in some studios of the same owner
"This gift voucher has expired" its date has passed (the studio can extend it)
"This gift voucher has been used up" nothing is left on it, or a treatment voucher was already used
"This gift voucher was cancelled" the studio cancelled the voucher
"This gift voucher cannot be used for now" the voucher is blocked for now, e.g. while a dispute about its payment lasts
"This gift voucher is for another service" a treatment voucher for a different service
"This studio does not take gift vouchers" the studio has switched gift vouchers off

A voucher is valid in the studios of the owner who issued it: one bought online in all of their studios on LineUp, one issued in the studio in all of them or only in those the studio chose. If you are not sure, contact the studio.

What happens to my voucher if I cancel or do not come?

The studio's cancellation rules apply to a voucher as they do to money:

Case Amount voucher Treatment voucher
You cancel in time, or the studio cancels the whole amount goes back to the voucher the voucher is valid again
You cancel late the share the studio keeps for late cancellations is spent used only if the studio's rule keeps all of it, otherwise valid again
You do not come the share the studio keeps for no-shows is spent used only if the studio's rule keeps all of it, otherwise valid again
The appointment takes place the amount is spent the voucher is used

If you do not finish a booking, the amount set aside goes back to the voucher by itself after a while.

I lost my gift voucher, or I want my money back. What can I do?

A lost voucher or code:

  • If you bought the voucher for yourself, the PDF and the code are in the purchase confirmation e-mail.
  • If it was sent to someone else, it is in their e-mail.
  • The studio can send the voucher (PDF) again by e-mail, to an address you choose. Contact the studio.

A refund: the studio is the seller of the voucher, so ask the studio.

  • For a voucher bought online, the studio can refund an unused voucher, or the unused part, to the card it was paid with.
  • This is possible up to 180 days after the purchase. A treatment voucher can be refunded only while it is unused.
  • After a refund, the refunded part can no longer be used.
  • For a voucher bought in the studio, you settle a refund directly with the studio.

How do I use a discount code?

  1. In the Booking Summary step, click Have a discount code or a gift voucher?.
  2. Enter the code and click Apply.
  3. When it is valid, you see "Code applied". The old price is crossed out, with the discount and the Total below.

Some studios also have automatic discounts that need no code. They are shown next to the services.

  • One discount per booking applies, the largest. If you already have a better one, you see "You already have a better discount".
  • If two discounts are equal, the code wins.
  • When a code does not apply, the reason is shown, e.g. "This code has expired", "This code is for new customers only", "You have already used this code" or "This code is not valid for this day or time".
  • If you cancel the booking, you can use the code again. If you do not come to the appointment, the code counts as used.

A discount code and a gift voucher go in the same field.

How do I book a service at my own address?

Some studios come to the client (a flat, hotel, office). The studio page then says "Comes to your address up to … km". In the search you find them with the filter Only studios that come to me.

  1. Choose the service. Under Where? choose At my address (some services are done only at the client's address).
  2. Under Your address, enter the street, number and city, or click Choose on the map and put the pin on your entrance.
  3. Under How to get in, enter the floor, doorbell or gate code.
  4. Under Parking at your place, choose Free, Paid or No parking.
  5. Once the address is checked, you see the distance and the travel charge, then the free times.

The price shown before you book already includes the service, travel and parking. Not every staff member goes to clients, so choosing any staff member shows the most free times.

Can the travel price change after I book?

As a rule, the price is final as soon as you book. For places further away (or for some services) the studio confirms the booking by hand. Then the booking says "The studio confirms this booking and the price." and the appointment is Pending.

  • When confirming, the studio may add a surcharge, but no more than an amount it set in advance.
  • If it does and you entered an email address, the new price is sent to it. In Active Bookings the surcharge shows as Added by the studio.
  • If the new price doesn't suit you, cancel the appointment in Active Bookings or contact the studio.

Parking "at its real cost" is paid on the spot, at most up to the amount shown when you booked.

The studio doesn't accept my address. Why?

The message gives the reason:

  • "The studio does not come to this address." The address is further than the studio goes (the distance is measured in a straight line from the studio).
  • "The studio does not come where there is no parking." You chose No parking, and the studio doesn't come then.
  • "This service is done at the studio only." Choose another service or At the studio.
  • "This staff member works at the studio only. Please choose another." Choose another staff member or anyone free.

You are also offered Book at the studio instead.

How do I choose how I receive messages from studios?

  1. In the menu, open Preferences (Settings).
  2. Under Notification Settings, switch Email Notifications, SMS Notifications, Whatsapp Notifications and Push Notifications on or off.
  3. Click Save All Settings.

With e-mail off, you do not get booking confirmations and cancellation notices by e-mail. The message after the appointment does not go by a channel you switched off.

An appointment reminder goes by the channel you chose when booking or the one the studio set. If you do not want it, contact the studio.

Before saving, you are asked for a default location. Enter it or detect it by GPS.

How do I choose a reminder when booking?

The step with your details has a Reminders section ("How would you like to be notified about your appointment?"):

  1. Pick up to 2 channels: Email, SMS, Push or WhatsApp. Email is offered once you enter an e-mail address, SMS and WhatsApp once you enter a mobile number.
  2. Choose when: 24 hours, 2 hours, 1 hour or 30 minutes before, or Custom date & time.

A channel the studio does not offer says "Store owner did not allow this notification channel". If you pick a channel you switched off in your settings, the app asks whether to switch it on. For push, the browser asks for permission.

If the chosen channel is not available when the reminder is due, it arrives by another channel that can reach you.

How do I turn on push notifications on my phone?

  1. Open Preferences (Settings).
  2. Under Push Notifications, click Enable Push Notifications and allow notifications in the browser or app.
  3. If it says No Devices Registered, click Register This Device.

Push notifications arrive only on devices you registered. Repeat this on every phone or computer.

If you blocked notifications for LineUp in your browser, allow them in the browser settings first, then try again.

Do I need an account to book?

No. Booking needs no sign-up and no password. You enter only the details the studio asks for (name, email, phone) and book.

On your first visit LineUp opens a client account for you on that device. Your bookings are kept on it, so on the same device you see them in Active Bookings without logging in.

To see your bookings on another device or in the app, log in with a code sent to your email or phone. No password is needed.

Enter your correct email and mobile number. Your confirmation, reminders and login code are sent there.

How do I log in as a client?

You log in with a one-time code, without a password.

  1. At the top right, click the account icon, then Log in.
  2. Choose Lite User Login.
  3. Choose Email or Phone and enter your address or number.
  4. Click Send Verification Code.
  5. Enter the 6-digit code you received and click Verify.

The email with the code also has a login link: you can click it instead of typing the code.

You log out in the same menu: Log Out logs out this device, Log Out All Devices logs out all of them.

Logging in by phone (SMS) is not always available. When it isn't, **Lite User Login** says "Quick email verification", there is no **Phone** tab, and you log in by email.

I booked on one device. How do I see my bookings on another one or in the app?

Bookings made without logging in belong to the device and browser you booked on. On the other device:

  1. Log in with a code sent to the same email or phone you entered when booking.
  2. Open Profile & History → Active Bookings.

Once you are logged in, you can cancel or change an appointment from any device.

If you still don't see the appointment after logging in (e.g. you booked on someone else's or a shared device), contact the studio. The appointment is saved with them.

If you clear your browser data or use a private window, you no longer see bookings made without logging in on that device. Log in with a code sent to the contact on the booking to see them again.

How do I delete my account?

  1. Log in and open Profile & History → Settings.
  2. At the bottom, under Delete account, click Delete.
  3. If you like, say why you are leaving, type the word DELETE and click Delete my account.

Your account is switched off at once and you are logged out. Your data is deleted for good within 30 days.

Deleting your account does not cancel your appointments. Before deleting it, cancel the appointments you won't go to, or contact the studio.

Is there a LineUp app for my phone?

Yes, for iPhone (App Store) and Android (Google Play). Search for LineUp.

You don't need the app: everything also works in the browser at lineup.direct.

  • In the app, log in with a code sent to the same email or phone, and you see the same bookings.
  • The app can send push notifications. Allow them when your phone asks.
  • When the app is installed, lineup.direct links in messages open in it.

How do I change the app's language?

Click the flag in the top bar and choose a language.

LineUp is available in 13 languages: Croatian, English, German, Italian, Arabic, Urdu, Russian, Ukrainian, Bosnian, Serbian, Slovenian, French and Spanish. Languages marked beta have not yet been checked by a native speaker.

The language you choose is also kept on your account, so messages about your appointments (confirmations, reminders) come in it too.

In which language do clients get messages?

  • Confirmations, reminders and the message after the appointment go in the client's language: the one they chose in the app or, if they never chose, their browser's or country's language. A client entered by the studio gets the studio's language.
  • WhatsApp: if the message is not yet approved in the client's language, it goes in a related language or in English (for example, Serbian and Bosnian get Croatian). Once approved, it switches to the client's language by itself.
  • Quick messages you send from an appointment are in your studio's language, because you write them.

Clients can change their language in the app. The next messages then arrive in the new language.

How do I get a queue number without a booking?

Some studios also take walk-in guests through a queue.

  1. Scan the QR code in the studio, or click Join Queue on the studio page.
  2. Under Select Service, choose the service.
  3. If the studio asks for it, fill in your Contact Information.
  4. Click Get Your Ticket Number.

You see your number, how many people are waiting and the estimated wait. You pay when you are served.

If the button says Queue is Paused or Store is Currently Closed, the queue is not taking new guests right now.

How do I follow my place in the queue or give it up?

  • Notifications: before you take a number, in the Enable Queue Notifications card choose a channel and when: When 3rd in line, When next in line, When it's your turn, 10 minutes before or 5 minutes before.
  • Following: in Active Bookings, click Track Queue. The QR Code button shows a code you can show in the studio.
  • Cancelling: in Active Bookings, click the cross (×) and Cancel Ticket, if the studio allows it.

If you are not there when you are called, the studio can mark you as missed. Then take a new number.

My login code doesn't arrive or doesn't work. What can I do?

  • Email: wait a minute and check your spam folder. The code is valid for 15 minutes.
  • SMS: check the number, including the country code. The code is valid for 10 minutes.
  • New code: you can ask for one after 2 minutes (Resend Code). A new code cancels the old one, so enter only the latest.
  • "Invalid code": after 5 wrong tries the code no longer works. Ask for a new one.

If the code still doesn't arrive, log in with your other contact (email instead of phone).

The card payment button is grey. What is missing?

When you book, the button works once the Card Details are filled in:

  • Enter the card number, the expiry date and the security code.
  • When everything is right, you see "Card details verified successfully".

The Billing Address is optional. You can leave it empty, or type it without picking it from the dropdown; whatever you fill in is sent with the card. If you choose a country, it must be one from the list.

Paying through a studio's payment link and buying a gift voucher need no billing address.

When booking it says "You have reached the maximum number of active reservations". Why?

The studio limits how many active bookings (pending or confirmed) one client can have with it, and you have reached that limit.

  • Look at Active Bookings: maybe you have an appointment you no longer need. Cancel it and book the new one.
  • Or contact the studio: it can book you in itself.

My card payment did not go through. What now?

Your booking is confirmed only after the payment succeeds. If it fails, the bank's message or "Payment failed." appears below the button.

  1. Check your card details and try again.
  2. If it fails again, try another card or contact your bank.
  3. If the studio offers Pay at Location, you can choose that.

An unfinished booking is removed after 30 minutes. If that much time has passed, book again.

When booking it says the time is no longer free. What now?

Someone booked that time before you, or the studio changed its schedule in the meantime.

  • If you opened a link to a particular time, a warning says that time is no longer free. Choose another time below.
  • If the error comes at the end of the booking, use Back to return to the Service Overview step and choose another time.

What if my card cannot be charged when free cancellation ends?

You get an e-mail: "We could not charge your card for your booking at …". What happens next depends on the studio's rule:

  • "Your booking stays: please pay in the studio." The booking stands, and you pay in the studio.
  • "The booking has been cancelled. You can book again with another card."

The same applies when an amount held on your card cannot be charged.

Push notifications don't work in the browser on my iPhone. Why?

Safari on iPhone allows push notifications only for sites added to the Home Screen. This is Apple's restriction.

You have two options:

  • install the LineUp app from the App Store and allow notifications in it; or
  • in Safari open lineup.direct, tap Share → Add to Home Screen, open LineUp from the Home Screen and turn push notifications on again.

On computers and Android, push works in Chrome, Firefox and Edge. If you blocked notifications, allow them in your browser settings.
