Only allow one customer to book a day

I want the customer to only be allowed to book 30 days in advanced. I don’t want to accept bookings more than 30 days out.

Hello @rossanderson !

As I understand, you’d like to only allow bookings between 30 and 60 days. This can be achieved in the Datepicker field, Limits tab the following way:

So:
– start date +30 days
– end date +60 days

Hope this helps!

I would like the customers to be able to book only a month ahead but I would also like a two day lead time where the customers would have to book 48 hours in advance. Is there a way I can set up the calendar so the customer will have to book 48 hours in advance as well as they will only be able to book a month ahead?

For example I have the start date at +2 days for a 48 hour window that the customers would have to book ahead of time

Hi @rossanderson,

I am sorry, I couldn’t follow the requirement explained above. Can you please rephrase it and explain the workflow you are looking forward to?

Kind Regards,

I would like to block out the calendar so the calendar would allow bookings for up to 30 days in advance. Right now I have a 48 hour lead time (two days) so customers would have to book 2 days in advance. For example if it is Monday the customer will not be allowed to book Monday as well as Tuesday. The earliest day they can book an appointment would be Wednesday. Also when the date is Tuesday then Wednesday will be blocked off. So the calendar is always 48 hours ahead of time so the customer would have to book 48 hours in advance. I would like to keep this functionality where the customer will have to book 48 hours in advance of the service as well as only allow the calendar to show a month out. Hopefully this makes sense. I don’t know if this functionality can be done out of the box or if it will have to be custom coded.

Hi @rossanderson

Calendar can only be limited/locked by either specific dates (so those would be fixed date like e.g. July 15th, August 20th and so on) or by “offset”.

The closest you can get to the goal is for example:

– set “Start Date” to “Today + 2 days”
– set “End Date” to “Today + 30 days”

which means customer can only book dates within upcoming 30 days “since today” (and not after that) and at least “2 days in advance”.

Other than this, it would require quite a bit of custom development and providing such code is out of the scope of our support, I’m afraid.

Kind regards,
