Updating Future Booking Window
The booking website shows availability only up to a number of days ahead. Adjusting this keeps bookings from landing too far in the future, so the schedule stays predictable. The window is set per location on the Online booking page.
Open Online booking settings
- Open Online booking: Settings in the sidebar, then Calendar and schedule → Online booking. On Home, you can also click Turn on your booking page under Booking link.
- Expand the location you want to change. The selected location opens by default.
Turn the booking website on
For clients to book online, Booking website enabled? at the top of the location section must be On. While it is off, the rest of the section is hidden and the public link does not work, no matter how the future booking window is set. If it is off, turn it on and click Save before testing the public link.
Change how far ahead clients can book
- Under Scheduling window, find How far in advance clients can book.
- Enter the number of days clients may book ahead.
- Click Save for this location.
After saving, the booking website only offers time slots within that window. With 30 days, a client cannot pick a date 60 days from now, even if the calendar is free.
Tips
A few practical ideas when choosing the future booking window:
- Shorter window (for example 7–14 days) works well when schedules change often or when last-minute bookings are preferred.
- Longer window (for example 30–90 days) helps busy locations that fill up quickly and need clients to plan ahead.
- Combine this with Booking policies (reschedule and cancellation windows) to keep the calendar organized and avoid surprise changes.
Once the setting is saved, test it by opening the location's public link and checking how far ahead the calendar allows bookings.
