Customizing Shopify Product Page for Service Reservations-Directing from Image Banner to Reservation

Store Design
, , , ,

Topic summary

Service-based merchant wants a Shopify product page for 1-hour sessions that features a top image banner and a “Book Now” button linking directly to a Cowlendar reservation.

Current issue: the default Buy button routes shoppers to the product description page (PDP) instead of the external booking flow.

Suggested approaches:

  • If the PDP isn’t needed, create a Shopify URL redirect so visits go straight to the Cowlendar reservation page (documentation link provided).
  • If keeping a custom landing, add an image-with-button section; if the theme lacks this, build it via a custom-liquid or custom-HTML section/block.
  • Consider professional help for theme customization if DIY isn’t feasible.

Clarifications: “Main Shopify page” refers to the store’s homepage (theme index). PDP = product description page.

Status: No resolution yet. Options identified; awaiting implementation decision by the merchant.

Hello everyone,

I’m running a service-based business on Shopify, specifically offering sessions that last 1 hour. I’d like to create a dedicated product page for this service, but I’m facing a challenge with the “Product Information” section on the page.

Here’s the issue: The standard “Product Information” section includes an image of my “product” (in this case, the service), which I’ve set up as a product on the main Shopify page. However, I want to customize this page with an image banner at the top and a “Book Now” or “Make a Reservation” button.

The problem is that the “Buy” button is currently configured to direct customers to the product page, not my reservation page powered by the Cowlendar app. Is there a way to set up the image banner with a button so that it takes customers directly to the reservation on Cowlendar, bypassing the product page?

I’d appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to achieve this on Shopify. Your help is invaluable!

Thank you for your assistance.

There’s no such thing under a merchants control.

There is only a merchants store’s homepage, aka index, for that stores theme.

If there is no point to letting customers reach the product description page, PDP, then try a redirect https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/menus-and-links/url-redirect

Otherwise if a theme doesn’t already have a section that shows an image with a button, then you’d need to either make this custom-html in some html design tool and then use a custom-liquid or custom-html section/block to add the design you’ve created.

Or have it customized for you if you need this customization then contact me by mail for services using contact info in signature..
ALWAYS please provide context, examples: store url, theme name, post url(s) , or any further detail.
