Booking Limits

Control daily appointment capacity and advance booking requirements

Managing Your Booking Capacity

Booking Limits help you manage your business's capacity with two settings:

  1. Max Bookings Per Day - Cap how many appointments you accept each day
  2. Booking Notice - Require customers to book a certain time in advance

Booking Frequency

Set a maximum number of appointments per day. Once the limit is reached, customers can't book that day, even if time slots are still available in your Availability Hours.

This is useful when you're running with fewer staff, at reduced capacity, or want to keep your workload manageable.

Booking Frequency

How It Works

For each day of the week, enter a number in the field:

ValueWhat it means
(empty)Unlimited bookings
0Closed (no bookings accepted)
Any number (e.g., 8)Maximum 8 bookings that day

Important: Limits apply to every occurrence of that day. A Monday limit of 8 means every Monday has a maximum of 8 bookings. Changing a limit doesn't affect existing bookings, only new ones.

Setting a Daily Limit

  1. Navigate to Calendar Settings > Booking Limits > Limit Booking Frequency toggle
  2. Find the day you want to limit
  3. Enter a number or leave empty for unlimited
  4. Click Save Changes
