When customers can book
Two settings work together to control your booking window: one sets how far ahead customers can book, the other sets how close to the start they can book.
Use them to fill your calendar in advance while giving your team enough notice to get a session ready.
What you can do with it
Take bookings further ahead, or keep them short-term - choose how many days in advance customers can book.
Stop last-minute bookings - require a minimum notice so staff have time to prepare, like lighting a wood-fired sauna before a session starts.
Set different rules per session - give a morning schedule a longer notice than an evening one, or a shorter window to a seasonal run.
How it works
General defaults can be found in Settings, and per-session overrides on each schedule
Defaults
Default bookable window - how far ahead customers can book, in days.
Minimum booking notice - how many hours before a session bookings close. Set it to 0 for no minimum, so customers can book right up to the start.
Per session
Select Change next to the booking window.
Set the window and notice for that schedule. The summary reads, for example, "Bookable from 90 days until 36 hours before each session."
Leave a field blank to use the venue default.
Options
Bookable window - either a rolling number of days ahead, or a fixed end date for the schedule.
Minimum booking notice - any value from 0 to 168 hours (up to 7 days before the session).
One-off dates - have their own minimum notice, since you choose the date yourself.
What your customers see
Sessions too far ahead aren't shown yet.
Sessions inside the notice window show "Booking is now closed", and the calendar points customers to the next available session.
Good to know
New settings apply to schedules you create from now on. Existing schedules keep their current settings until you edit them.
To test it, set a minimum notice, open your booking page, and check that soon-to-start sessions show "Booking is now closed" while later ones stay bookable.
