If your business is closed on certain days, your booking calendar should reflect that clearly. This date range setting helps make sure customers see actual available booking days instead of a limited window filled with days you are closed.

📌 Why This Matters

When your booking window counts every calendar day, it can accidentally include weekends, closed days, or custom off-days. That may leave customers looking at an empty calendar even when you do have availability coming up. By counting only the days your business is actually open, your calendar becomes easier to understand and more useful for customers trying to book.

This is especially helpful if you:

• Close on weekends
• Operate on a custom schedule like Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
• Use booking notice rules that limit same-day or last-minute appointments
• Offer appointments, services, or rentals with changing availability

✨ What’s New

• Count available days only: You can choose to have the date range skip closed days and count only the days your business is available for booking.
• Works with scheduling notice: If you require advance notice before someone can book, the date range starts from the first available day after that notice period ends.
• Applies across booking types: This setting works for calendars, services, and rentals, including schedules with team availability and date-specific hours.

🛠️ How to Use It

1. Step 1: Open the booking settings for the calendar, service, or rental you want to update.
2. Step 2: Find the Date Range setting in that item’s booking or scheduling settings.
3. Step 3: Turn on Count available days only below the date range field.
4. Step 4: Save your changes and review your booking window to make sure it matches your real working schedule.

💡 Pro Tip

If customers often visit your booking page before weekends or holidays, this setting can help you capture more appointments by showing the next real days you are open instead of an empty calendar.
