# How To Add Bookings Manually
In FlowBookings, you can add bookings manually to your dashboard. This is useful in cases where you want to schedule a booking for someone directly without making them fill out the form (for example: in-store bookings).
Follow these instructions to create a booking manually in FlowBookings:
1. Go to the **Bookings** page and click the **New Booking** button.
2. Select the Service, Customer, Booking Date, and Booking Time.
3. Select whether the payment for the booking has been received or not.
4. Click on the Save button and your booking will be added to the platform.
5. You can then change the status of the Booking to Approved.
Once the booking is added, it'll be visible on the Bookings list.

**Note:** Whenever you create a booking, it is assigned to a customer on the platform. So, before creating a booking manually, make sure the customer for that booking is created on the platform. You can learn how to manually create a customer [here](https://docs.flowbookings.io/knowledgebase/customers-overview/how-to-add-customers-manually).
