Time slot length

With this option you can set the default length of the time slot. We want to briefly summarize what this option means:
Imagine you chose time slot length 30 minutes. This means that when customers make a new booking, they will see times up to 30 minutes, for example: 10:30am, 11:00am, 11:30am, 12:00pm, 12:30pm, etc.

This value is default value. You can refer to the default value when you add the Service or select the individual Time slot.

Default value: 5 minutes.

Set slot length as service duration

If you activate this option, Time slot length option will override. As a result slot length will be equal to the duration of the service. For instance, if the duration of the service is 1 hour, when customers make a booking, they will see time at 1 hour interval: 10:00am, 11:00am, 12:00pm, 13:00pm, etc.

Default value: Disabled.

Minimum time requirement prior to booking

With this option you can appropriate that your customers can make a booking at least a few days in advance. For instance, you want your customers to book before minimum 1 day. In this case you will select 1 day in this option. If this option is not needed, just disable it.

Default value: Disabled.

Limited booking days

With this option you can choose how long your customers can book later. For instance, typing in 90 days, you’ll be able to make sure that your customers can’t add booking after 90 days.

Default value: 365 days.

Default value: Approved.

When you use this feature, your customers will see your working hours according to their timezone. This feature allows you to do global service.

Activate Google reCAPTCHA

Most of the Booking Appointment users complain about spam appointments. If their service is free or demands in-office payment, it causes big problems such as spam appointments. Thanks to the Google ReCaptcha feature, such cases are not a problem anymore. By activating Google ReCAPTCHA, OnlineBookMe users will have a chance to avoid spam appointments

Allow admins to book appointments outside working hours

If you activate this feature, you can create an appointment for any date you want outside of your working hours while creating a manual appointment in your admin panel.

Only registered users can book

When this feature is turned on, users who do not log in to your site cannot view or use your booking panel. When they enter the page with your Booking panel, they are directed to the login page.
