In this article, you will learn how to manage your holiday availability for Online Booking and manual scheduling.
Setting your holiday availability ensures your team’s schedule stays accurate and your customers know exactly when you’re open for business. Whether you’re staying open year-round or taking holidays off, these settings help prevent unwanted bookings and keep everyone on the same page.
Adjusting your holiday availability
You can adjust your holiday availability from either Schedule settings or Online Booking settings. These toggles are linked. This means that adjusting the toggle switch on one page will directly affect the toggle switch on the other page.
- From the sidebar menu, select Schedule
- In the upper-right corner, select Schedule settings
Next to Open on holidays, turn the toggle switch on or off
- Select Save
Understanding holiday availability
| Open on holidays | Your team will have no indication of holidays when viewing your schedule. Clients will also be able to create new bookings. |
| Closed on holidays | Holiday events will automatically be added to your schedule as a visual indicator. Your team will still be able to manually add new jobs and leads on holidays. When visiting your booking page, clients will not have the option to book on holidays. |
