How to disable online booking?
You might need to close your business for a short period of time over the festive period, for renovations, or for any other reason, and you can disable online bookings so your clients know they cannot book your services on certain days.
So you can continue accepting bookings scheduled for when reopen, we recommend adjusting your online availability.
There are three ways you can disable online bookings:
Add Blocked Time in the calendar
The simplest and most effective way to block your availability online is to add Blocked Time for each staff in your calendar. To do this:
- Go to your Calendar.
- Select the green plus button in the right bottom corner of your screen and add Block Time.
- You can also add blocked time by clicking on the team member's name at the top of your calendar and selecting Add Blocked Time or Add Time Off.
Update your working hours
You can control your online availability by editing the working hours for individual team members. This gives you more control than using closed dates, however, it involves some additional steps to take.
- Go to Staff and edit your team working hours.
- Click on the shift next to the team member whose working hours you’re looking to delete.
- Make sure to choose Delete this shift only so future shifts aren’t affected.
NOTE:
Make sure you’re only deleting working hours for specific team members on days where you need to block their online availability.
Disable Online Booking
Turning off online booking is the most extreme option which we don’t recommend. It prevents any new online bookings from being made and automatically and limits your ways to fully optimize your calendar.
If you’d still like to do it, you can either:
- Disable online booking for all your staff, by editing their profiles.
- Edit all your Services and choose: Do not make the service bookable online
