Booking cut-off times allow you to restrict last minute bookings for activities and events. You can have the same cut-off time for all activities or assign different cut-off times per activity. This setting will help you prevent any unwanted bookings via your website but will not restrict your ability to add last minute reservations within the dashboard.

2. Under Booking Deadline, select which type of cut-off to apply:
For Single Cut-Off Time

5a. Click Save
For Cut-off Times Per Activity

**The cut-off time only effects bookings coming through your website. You can bypass the cut-off time by adding bookings yourself through the back-end.
