Use Maximum days customers can book ahead to control how far into the future customers can schedule appointments for a service.
This is the easiest way to prevent customers from booking too early (for example, months in advance).
Maximum days customers can book ahead sets a booking window like:
7 days → customers can book today + the next 7 days
30 days → customers can book up to 30 days from today
leave the field blank > all future days are available to be booked
If a date is beyond the limit, customers won’t be able to select it in the booking calendar.
Open the app > click Services > open the service you want to edit
Scroll to More options
Find Maximum days customers can book ahead
Enter a number, example: 14
Click Save
If today is Dec 1 and you set:
Maximum days customers can book ahead = 14
Customers can book from: ✅ Dec 1 → Dec 15
Customers cannot book: 🚫 Dec 16 and later
A time slot will appear only if all of these allow it:
The date is within the “book ahead” limit
Staff availability exists for that time
The time isn’t blocked (days off / blocked time)
The service duration fits
So if customers can’t see any slots, this field might be too low or availability is missing.
7–14 days: clinics, busy teams, short planning cycles
30 days: salons, classes, common services
60–90 days: weddings/events planning
Customers say “no dates available”
Check if the value is 0 or too small
Make sure the service has availability set (team members + working hours)
