Last cancellation date
This feature restricts online cancellations within a specific time frame before the appointment, which is particularly beneficial when online payment is involved. This capability is disabled by default.
To configure this setting in Bookly, go to Settings > General > Minimum time requirement prior to canceling. Alternatively, for individual services, you can set this value at Services > Edit > Advanced tab.
Last-minute bookings
This feature allows you to determine how close to the actual appointment time clients can book with you. You can set this restriction in terms of hours, days, or weeks. This feature is disabled by default.
To configure this setting in Bookly, navigate to Settings > General > Minimum time requirement prior to booking. If you want to set this value for each service separately, you can do so at Services > Edit > Advanced tab.
How far ahead will your clients be able to book?
This setting allows you to specify the maximum number of days in the future that your clients can book appointments. This feature is disabled by default.
To configure this setting in Bookly, go to Settings > General > Number of days available for booking.
Display available times in client's time zone
This option, when enabled, converts time slots according to the time zone of the customer. This includes the time of appointments in email notifications. To configure this setting, navigate to Bookly Settings > General > Display available time slots in client’s time zone.
To add a time zone switcher directly to your booking form, go to Appearance > Time tab and check the box next to Show time zone switcher. This feature can help prevent confusion when dealing with clients in different time zones.
In the modern booking forms, make sure to click on the Your time zone field and check the box next to Show.
Show the nearest time slot available
If you enable the Show only the nearest timeslot option in Bookly, all existing time slots, except for the nearest free time in the staff schedule, will be hidden for your customers.
If you enable the Show only the first timeslot in each day option, all available time slots for a staff member will be hidden except for the first nearest free time in their schedule every day.
