Getting Started

Set Your Working Hours


Working hours determine when customers can book. The system only shows available time slots within your working hours and checks for conflicts with existing bookings.


Default hours


When you add your first location during setup, default hours are created: Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Sunday is off by default. You should update these to match your actual schedule.


Setting your hours


  • Go to Dashboard > Availability (or Dashboard > Team > [Staff Name] > Availability for individual staff)
  • For each day of the week, set your start and end times
  • Toggle a day off by unchecking it
  • Click Save

  • Per-location hours


    If you have multiple locations, each location has its own schedule. Set hours for each location separately from the location settings.


    Per-staff hours


    Each staff member can have their own working hours. When a customer selects a specific staff member during booking, only that person's available slots are shown.


    Timezone


    Your timezone is set during onboarding (Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, London, Paris, Kyiv, Tokyo). All availability is displayed in your timezone. Customers booking from different timezones see times converted to their local time.


    Time off


    Block specific dates when you are unavailable:


  • Go to Dashboard > Availability > Time Off (or Team > [Staff Name] > Time Off for individual staff)
  • Select the start and end dates
  • Save

  • The booking system automatically checks time-off records. If a customer tries to book during a staff member's time off, the system returns an error: "This staff member is unavailable on this date."


    How it works with bookings


    When a customer picks a date and time on your booking page:

  • The system checks your working hours for that day
  • It checks existing bookings and calculates occupied slots (start time + total service duration)
  • It checks staff time-off records
  • Only open slots within your working hours are shown

  • This prevents double-bookings automatically. If a time slot is taken, it does not appear on the calendar.


    Tip


    Set your hours accurately. If you work 10am-7pm, do not leave the default 9am-6pm. Incorrect hours mean customers see slots when you are not actually available.
