You can make certain days or times unavailable on your Booking Form, which helps to prevent your customers from booking their own appointments when you’re unavailable.
Set default unavailable days
-
Go to Settings > Booking.
-
Scroll down to ‘Open/Closed Hours’.
-
Click the dropdown beside the days that you’re unavailable and select Closed.

Scroll down and click Save.
Set default unavailable timeslots for breaks
For example, you are open from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm and you want to block off 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm.
-
Go to Settings > Booking.
-
Scroll down to ‘Open/Closed Hours’.
a. In the first dropdown, select 10:00 am
b. In the second dropdown, select 12:00 pm.
c. Click the + sign on the left. This will add another row for you to enter the next start time and end time that you’re available. For the example above, select 1:00 pm on the first dropdown. Then select 3:00 pm on the second dropdown.
This will make sure that 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm is blocked off and your clients cannot book appointments that fall on this timeslot.

Scroll down and click Save.
