Set fixed start and end dates for your bookings

The fixed start and end date feature is an easy but powerful way to control how and when people can make online bookings with you.

As an example, you might have a 3-day event next month. You want people to be able to schedule time now, but they should only be able to select time slots that fall in those three days. Set a fixed start date and a fixed end date to limit all bookings to within that time frame.  

This feature is available on our Individual, Professional, and Team plans.

How to add fixed start and/or end dates to your page

• Make sure your fixed end date falls after your fixed start date
• Make sure your minimum booking notice falls within this fixed start/end date window
• Make sure your maximum booking notice falls within this fixed start/end date window

Example use cases

Perhaps you have a new team member starting.  You want them to set up a booking page for them as part of their orientation, but you don’t want them to take bookings on their first day. You can set a fixed start date only which will prevent clients from picking a slot before the new employee is ready.

Or if you’re an Educator taking bookings during term time, set a fixed end date only to prevent students from scheduling time during the holiday period.
