The first step on Nexa is to set up the services you offer. Each service has a name, description, price, duration, and the number of clients it accommodates. This is what your customers will see when they visit your Nexa booking page.
For example, a fashion designer on Nexa might create services like:
- Style Consultation: ₦10,000 / 60 mins / Up to 1 client
- Custom Outfit Fitting: ₦25,000 / 90 mins / Up to 1 client
- Wardrobe Review: ₦15,000 / 60 mins / Up to 1 client
- Bridal Styling Session: ₦50,000 / 120 mins / Up to 2 clients
Once created, each service shows as Active on your Nexa services page. You can toggle services on or off at any time, perfect for when a service is fully booked or temporarily unavailable.
Your services listed on the Nexa app, each with a price, duration, and availability status.
Setting up services on Nexa is straightforward: tap the + button on your Services tab, fill in the details, and your service goes live on your booking page instantly.
Share Your Booking Page Anywhere
Once your services are set up on Nexa, you get a personal booking page on mynexaapp.com, complete with your branded logo and banner. This is the link you share with the world.
You can share it on:
- WhatsApp: paste it in your status or send it directly to clients
- Instagram bio: replace "DM to book" with your Nexa link
- Twitter/X, Facebook, TikTok: share it in your posts and bio
- Your website: copy the iframe code and embed your Nexa booking widget directly in your site
- Google My Business: add it as your booking link
When a client clicks your Nexa link, they see your services, pick an available date and time, and complete the booking, paid or free. No back-and-forth, no "let me check my calendar," no missed bookings.
Pro tip for Nigerian businesses:
Add your Nexa booking link to your WhatsApp Business profile description. Instead of manually replying to every "how do I book?" message, clients can self-serve and pay immediately.
Accept Paid or Free Bookings
Nexa gives you full flexibility over how clients book with you. You decide the pricing model for each service:
Paid Bookings
Clients pay upfront when they book. The money goes into your Nexa wallet, and you request a payout to your bank at any time (minimum ₦5,000).
- • Eliminates no-shows
- • Money is secured before the appointment
- • Perfect for high-demand services
Free Bookings
Clients book a slot without paying. Ideal for consultation calls, discovery sessions, or any appointment where you prefer to collect payment in person.
- • Great for first-time client introductions
- • No payment friction for entry-level services
- • Still managed fully through Nexa
You can mix both; charge for your main services and keep consultations free. Nexa handles it all from one place on mynexaapp.com.

Create Your Nexa Booking PageManage and Track Your Bookings
Every booking made through your Nexa page shows up in your Bookings tab, organised, timestamped, and easy to manage. You can filter by status:
- Pending: awaiting your confirmation
- Confirmed: you have accepted the booking
- Completed: the service has been delivered
- Cancelled: cancelled by you or the client
Each booking card on Nexa shows the client name, service type, date, time, price charged, and your earnings after Nexa's small platform fee. You always know exactly where you stand.
Your Nexa Bookings tab, all appointments in one place, with client details, status, and earnings.
You can control your availability on Nexa at any time. Open or close specific dates and time slots, so when you're on leave, fully booked, or just need a day off, clients can't accidentally book a slot you're not available for. No more awkward "sorry, I can't make it" messages.
Create Manual Bookings for Walk-In Clients
Not all clients will book through your Nexa link. Some will WhatsApp you directly, call, or walk in. For those, Nexa lets you create a manual booking, so all your appointments are always in one place, whether the client booked online or you added them yourself.
To create a manual booking on Nexa, you fill in:
- Service: select from your active Nexa services
- Customer name and contact: name, email, and phone number
- Date: choose the appointment date
- Start time and duration: set the exact slot
- Number of people: for group bookings
Creating a manual booking on the Nexa app for a walk-in or WhatsApp client.
Manual bookings show up in your Nexa bookings list alongside online bookings. You can confirm, complete, or cancel them just like any other appointment. Your schedule stays clean and organised; no scattered notes or forgotten bookings.
