Closed Days
REQUIREMENT: The Closed Days are required as they are visible to customers when booking appointments online.
Toggle the days on or off depending on whether you are open for tastings on those days of the week.
Holiday / Special Closure Dates
REQUIREMENT: The Holiday / Special Closure Dates are required as they are visible to customers when booking appointments online.
Use the date selector to pick the dates when you are closed for tastings during the calendar year. For example, you may be closed on New Year's Day, so you can add 01/01/26 to the dates and customers won't be able to choose that date on the calendar when they select the date on your visit page.
Minimum Days
Enter whole numbers to select the minimum number of days from today that someone can request an appointment. For example, you can enter 2 or 3 days so that you can have advanced notice of any bookings rather than customers being able to book an appointment for the same day. Leave this field blank if you allow same-day bookings.
Maximum Days
Enter whole numbers to select the maximum number of days from today when someone can request an appointment. For example, you can enter 30 days if you want customers to limit appointment bookings to around a month in advance. This setting can also be useful if your tasting experiences change with the seasons and you want to limit advanced bookings until new experiences are available.
Emails
REQUIREMENT: These Emails are required as they can be sent to customers when you are managing their appointment requests.
Appointment Emails
Select the Appointment Emails button and you will be redirected to the Settings > Transactional Emails page where you can populate your emails.
