3. Select your booking window ​

You can customize your booking window time to allow guests to book only within a timeframe. The default booking window is set as 1 day from now to 14 days from now.

Assume today is April 15th, the booking window time means that:

• the earliest available time slot that a guest can book with you is 24 hours from now or on April 16th
• the last available time slot that a guest can book with you is 14 days from now or on April 29th

However, you can edit your booking window based on your needs. For example, if you want to allow guests to book on the same day, then you can adjust the booking window start time to 2 hours before the occurrence of the event. To do that:

1. On your booking page, click on the event type that you want to edit.
2. Click on the button Availability Settings, then click on the schedule that you want to edit
3. Click on the Booking window (please note that Booking Window will only appear if you already have added availability).
4. In the Booking window modal, select the booking window start time and end time. In this case, if booking window start time is 1 hour from now, your minimum booking notice is 1 hour from the chosen time slot.

4. Duplicate schedules to other event types ​

You can duplicate one event type's schedule quickly to other event types to save time. But other event types will need to be created first.

1. Click on the button Availability Settings
2. Under the Availability section, click on the host, then open the schedule you want to edit.
3. Scroll down and under This schedule applies to (shown for existing schedules), you'll see the hosts and event types it applies to.
