# Set Availability for Services

Availability controls **when customers can book** a service. Time slots shown on your storefront come from your **team members’ schedules**.

***

### 💡 When is a service bookable?

A customer can book only when all of these are true:

* A team member is assigned to the service
* That team member has working hours set
* The date/time is not blocked
* The booking date range (if used) allows that date

For example: I have 2 teachers (team member) for service Yoga 

* Create team member 1 (Teacher 1)  > set available time from Monday to Friday day > assign him to the service 
* Create team member 2 (Teacher 2)  > set available time on weekend > assign him to the service 

***

### ✅ Before you start

Make sure you have:

* A service created (with the correct **duration**)
* At least 1 team member added and **assigned to the service**

> Tip: Duration affects the time slots customers see (example: 1-hour duration = 1-hour slots).

***

### 🧭 How to set availability

You can set availability in two ways:

#### Option A: From the service

1. Open the app → **Services**
2. Open the service you want to edit
3. Go to **Availability** and click a team member (or create a new one)

3. Choose how you want to apply the time:

<table><thead><tr><th width="192.2333984375">Apply to</th><th>Use when</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td> <strong>Specific date</strong></td><td>Only one date should be available (e.g., Nov 3 only) </td></tr><tr><td> <strong>All Mondays</strong></td><td>Every Monday should follow this schedule </td></tr><tr><td> <strong>Day/week range</strong></td><td>Apply the same schedule to multiple weekdays or a period of time </td></tr></tbody></table>

4. Click **Save**

***

### ✅ What customers will see (time slots)

Customers will see available slots based on:

* team member working hours
* your service duration

**Example (duration = 1 hour):**\
If availability is **08:00–18:00**, customers will see slots like:\
08:00–09:00, 09:00–10:00, … and the last slot starts at **17:00** and ends at **18:00**.
