# Full-day service

A Full-day Service lets customers book an entire day instead of a time slot. This is ideal for rentals, day-long sessions, or appointments that take the whole day.

### ✅ What this service type does

With Full-day booking, customers:

* choose a **date**
* book the **full day** (no time slot)
* (optional) pay online, depending on your payment settings

You can control:

* capacity (how many bookings per day)
* paid vs free booking
* availability (team members / schedule, if applicable)
* location (optional)

### 🎯 When should I use Full-day Service?

Use Full-day booking when:

* your service is not time-slot based
* customers should reserve the full day
* you don’t want overlaps within the day

**Examples**

* Photographer “Day session”
* Meeting room rental (1 day)
* Equipment rental (1 day)
* Event booth booking (1 day)

* **Duration** = 1 day
* Set **Capacity:** Choose how many customers can book the same day

**Examples**

**Capacity =1 ⇒** only one booking per day (most common)

**Capacity = 2+ ⇒** allow multiple bookings per day (for rentals with multiple units)

**5) Choose payment type**

| Option                    | What it means                         | Best for                       |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| ✅ **No payment required** | Confirm booking without paying online | Free booking, pay in person    |
| 💰 Pay to book            | Require payment behavior              | Paid services                  |
| Pay now                   | Charge immediately                    | Deposits / guaranteed bookings |
| Pay later                 | Confirm now, pay later                | Invoice / in-store payment     |

**6) Configure availability (important)**

Set when the service is available:

* working days (Mon–Sun)
* blackout dates (if any)
* As it is the full day service, the employee must be available from **00:00-24:00.**&#x20;

#### 7) Customize more settings (Optional) <a href="#step-7-customize-more-settings-optional" id="step-7-customize-more-settings-optional"></a>

* In **Location** field, enter the location of the service
* **Color**: helps identify bookings in the calendar
* **Questions & Add-ons**: collect info (name, preferences) or sell add-ons
* **Advanced settings**: booking rules, lead time, buffer time, etc. (if available)

#### 8) Save

Click **Save** to finish creating the service.

***

#### 🧪 Example (easy)

**Service:** Studio rental (Full day)

* Type: Full-day booking
* Capacity: 1 booking/day
* Payment: Pay to book → Pay now\
  Customer books **Dec 10** → pays → the entire day is reserved.

### 🌐 **How it works on the site**

For services configured as **Full Day,** the booking process is simplified for customers:

* The customer clicks the “Book Now” button on your store > A booking popup appears.
* The customer sees a calendar of available dates (since full-day bookings don’t require time selection).

* The customer selects their preferred date > They proceed to confirm the booking.

No time slots are shown or required.&#x20;
