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.
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.
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.
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.
In some countries, the week starts on Sunday, in some countries, on Monday. You can change which day of the week starts on your calendar according to your country and your choice.
The date format also varies by country. You can set the date format according to your choice.
You can set the time format to be 24 hours or 12 hours.
When customer add a new booking, you can show here what will be default value. If you need managers to confirm it and specify issue after your customers make a booking, in this option you can select Pending status. As a result when customer adds a new booking, it will run into Dashboard. And after the manager specifies details, that appointment will be approved or rejected.
Default value: Approved.

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.

Repeat: You can select repeat type of service here. There’re 3 types of choices:
Monthly Recurring service: If your service is repeated on certain days of the month, then you can choose the monthly option. For example, if it’s repeated 1st, 2nd, 3rd of every month. Either you’ll be able to select like the first Sunday, the last Wednesday, the third Friday of every month.
Weekly Recurring services: If your service will be repeated for certain days of the week, then select this option. For example, it can be repeated on the 1st, 3rd and 5th of every week.
Daily Recurring services: If your service is repeated every day or in X days, then you should select this Daily option. For example, your service should be repeated in 2 days.
When you create a service, you can choose only its type in this option. Customers will choose their services will be available in which days of the week or if service’s repeated monthly, it will be repeated in which days of month, or if it’s Daily recurring service, it will be repeated in a few days. For example, customer will want to benefit on the 2nd and 5th days of the week from your service. Other customer may also want to benefit on the 1st and 4th days of the week from service. If the dates that customer selects aren’t available in time sheet, the system will not accept those days.
Fixed full period: If you make this choice, you can limit the full period of repeated service. For example, we have mentioned above that treatment sample will take 10 days. In this case we act this option and select 10 days in opening area. There are options for month, week, and time(s) beside day option in this area. If you do not activate this option, then customer will specify how long the service will last when booking. For example customer will select that I book this service on every 1st and 3rd days from September 10th to November 15th.
Fixed Frequency: With this solution, you can set frequency of repetition. If you add the Monthly recurring service and select 5 days in a month by activating this option, then your customer will select 5 days in a month when booking.
Or if you add Weekly recurring service and write 3 days in a week at Fixed Frequency, then customer will be able to select only 3 days of the week when booking. When you disable this option you will have no limits for customer.
Payment: With this option, you will appoint how your recurring services will be paid when your customers book. There are 2 options:
If when making online booking, it’s enough to pay ony first appointment, then select the 1st option. Customer has to pay all appointments in online way when making a recurring appointment and select 2nd option.
