Slot management
We have 2 different slot styles available to set up your availability
Slots
Manual Slots
Slots
Since you have different offerings with varying durations, you can customise slot management to ensure smooth scheduling. Here’s an example of how it works:
1-hour services: Available slots could be 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM, etc.
2-hour services: Customers can only book in slots like 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM, etc.
3-hour services: Available slots would be 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM, etc.
Slots CAN NOT overlap
ie. if you create one slot 9-11am and a 2nd 9:30- 11:30, when one slot is booked, the 2nd slot will be seen and will block the 2nd slot's availability.
Choose Manual slots to avoid this.
Manual Slots
Manual Slots offer the most flexibility!
They can be created in bulk and edited individually
They can also overlap as many times as you wish!
They are also visible in your calendar!

Creating Manual Slots
You create manual slots directly in the calendar, and you can view all available slots that are being offered in online booking.
In the calendar
Right click
Select create slot

You can also create a bunch of slots in one go!
Manual slots, once created, are all individual slots. If you need to edit or remove any slots, this must be done individually in the calendar.
