Yes. If a traveler (or Fernwayer Support on their behalf) asks you via Chat about the possibility of booking an Experience for a date and time that falls within your booking cutoff — for example, they want to book for tomorrow but your cutoff is 96 hours — you can still accept the booking, as long as you're available and have suffiicient preparation time to ensure a quality experience.
It just takes a small, temporrary adjustment in your Experience Details.
Why the cutoff exists
Your booking cutoff is set in your Experience Details and tells the system how many hours before an Experience starts that automatic bookings should close. It protects you from bookings that arrive too late for you to prepare — meeting the guest, arranging logistics, confirming details.
But the cutoff is a default, not a hard rule. When a traveler reaches out with a genuine last-minute request that you can accommodate, you can temporarily lower the cutoff to accept the booking, then reset it afterwards.
When not to do this
Only accept last-minute bookings when you're genuinely able to prepare and host the Experience. The cutoff exists to protect your quality of service — override it only when you can confidently deliver. If in doubt, decline the request politely; Fernwayer Support can help you communicate this to the traveler.
How to do it
Go to My Profile and click on the Experience you want to adjust.
Go to the bottom of the page, click on Share, then select the pencil icon to edit.
In Provide Experience Details, find the field Number of hours booking closes before start.
Lower it temporarily. For example:
12 hours to allow booking for the next day.
4 hours to allow same-day booking.
Check your Booking Calendar to confirm the date and time now shows as available. If it doesn't, create a new Entry manually — see Managing a Single Entry: How to Add, Edit, or Delete an Entry.
Let the traveler know they can book, and ask them to do so as soon as possible.
Once they've booked, reset the cutoff back to your normal value. If you forget, you may receive other last-minute bookings you're not prepared for.
Keep in mind, Fernwayer Support can also help you with this temporary setup - just send us a Chat message, or reach out to your Fernwayer contact.
