Set your availability for online bookings once.
Your weekly hours, breaks, days off and a buffer between sessions, set one time. Your booking page only offers the hours you are actually free, every week, without you touching it.
Clients can book 44 one-hour slots this week.
Illustration: two-hour blocks, one-hour sessions, no buffer
Hours that repeat every week, more than one window a day, blocked dates for leave, a buffer up to an hour after each session, and Google Calendar busy time kept off your page.
Your week, minus the guesswork.
Telling every client when you are free, in every chat, works until two of them pick the same hour. Here is the same week, both ways.
Hours in your head
- Without: Typing "I am free Tuesday after 3" into every chat
- Without: A holiday you forgot to mention gets booked anyway
- Without: Calls back to back with no time to reset
- Without: A personal plan and a client call on the same hour

Set your weekly hours
Switch each day on or off and pick its hours. Add a second window on the same day for lunch or the school run, then copy Monday to every weekday in one go.
- 2
Block the dates you are away
Pick a holiday, a wedding or a training day. That whole date can no longer be booked on any of your services.
- 3
Choose a buffer and your time zone
Leave no gap, or keep 5 minutes up to an hour free after each booking. Your time zone is shown beside every slot your clients see.
- 4
Connect Google Calendar, if you like
Busy events on your calendar keep those times off your page, and the calendar is checked again, live, the moment a client books.
- 5
Clients book only what is free
Booked times and past times drop out by themselves. Two bookings can never overlap, because the database refuses it.
Everything your hours need to know.

- Overlapping bookings refused at the database level

Room to breathe between calls.
A buffer is the free time kept after each booking. Pick a session length and a buffer, and watch how a working day fills.
6 sessions fit between 9 AM and 5 PM, each followed by 15 free minutes.

Hosts who stopped sharing their calendar by text.
“Half my day used to go in 'is a cabin free at 4?' WhatsApps. Now people just book it themselves.”
“Set up my weekend mentoring in one evening and kind of forgot about it. Slots fill, money's already in.”
“I run mentoring calls on the side — slots fill, payment's sorted, zero admin after work hours.”
“Clients book site-visit slots straight off my link and pay upfront. No more chasing dates over WhatsApp.”
Availability questions, answered.
How do I set my availability for online bookings?
Open Availability in your dashboard, switch on the days you work and pick the hours for each. Save once and the same hours repeat every week until you change them.
Can I take a break in the middle of the day?
Yes. Add more than one time window to a day, for example 9 AM to 1 PM and 2 PM to 6 PM, and the hour between stays closed.
How do I block a holiday or a day off?
Add the date under Blocked dates. Clients cannot book anything on that day, on any of your services, and your weekly hours stay as they were.
What is a buffer between bookings?
It is free time kept after each booking before the next one can start. Choose no buffer, 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes, or 1 hour. It applies to all your services.
Does it check my Google Calendar?
Yes, once you connect it. Busy events on your Google Calendar block those times on your booking page, and the calendar is checked live again when a client books.
Which time zone do clients see?
Yours. Pick your time zone in Availability settings, and every slot on your booking page is labelled with it, for example IST.
What if I never set my hours?
You stay bookable on a default of Monday to Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM, with Sunday off. The moment you add hours of your own, your schedule takes over.
Can I set different hours for each service?
Not today. Your hours, blocked dates and buffer are set once for your account and apply to every service you offer.
Set your hours once. Let the page do the rest.
