  1. Select the Service you want to book
  2. Select if available (subject to Provider's preferences):
    • Appointment (video, in-person, phone)
    • Language (that the Service is provided in)
    • Host (name of person providing the Service)
  3. Select the preferred Date and Time for the appointment
  4. Click Confirm (for paid Services with upfront payment, you will be redirected to Stripe where you enter your payment details)

For bookings that are paid up front any refund is subject to the Cancellation policy of the provider in question. The Cancellation policy for providers with services that are paid up front is always presented on their Vixly page in the following way:
  • X+ hours: Z% refund
  • 0-X hours: No refund
Example: If X = 10 hours and Z = 80%, you may cancel the booking up to 10 hours prior to the appointment with a 80% refund, but no refund for cancellation less than 10 hours prior.
