# Multi-day service
***
### β What this service type does
With **Multi-day booking**, customers:
* choose a **start date**
* choose an **end date**
* book the whole date range
* (optional) pay online depending on payment settings
You control:
* booking rules (min/max days, if available)
* capacity (how many bookings can happen at the same time)
* paid vs free booking
* availability and location
***
### π― When should I use Multi-day Service?
Use **Multi-day booking** when:
* customers need to reserve multiple consecutive days
* itβs not tied to specific time slots
**Examples**
* Equipment rental (3 days)
* Workshop ticket (2 days)
* Hotel-like rental for a product/service
* Multi-day event passes
