Allowing time bookings to exceed one day

The Allow time bookings to exceed one day option allows bookings to exceed 1 day.

To do this, the end time of the first day should be set to 11:00 PM. This is when the last bookable time slot of the day begins. The following day's schedule should then start at midnight.  

 

Allow multi-day bookings to span closed days/hours

Check this setting to allow multi-day bookings to span closed days.

This setting lets bookings through for a range of dates that may include an item/product closure, for example, from Friday to Monday, with Sunday being closed.

 

Setting which day starts the week

Specify which day of the week the calendar starts (Monday or Sunday) with the Start of Week setting.
