− | Go to Manage // Services // Pen icon and: | + | It may happen that you need to have some buffer time in-between bookings to prepare for the next client, to travel or simply have a couple of minutes rest. <br> |
− | | + | Now we have an option to add some time after each booking. |
− | 1. Change Service duration to actual duration + buffer time (Example: actual duration 45 min, buffer time 15 min, you set up duration to 1 hour).

| + | 4. In some cases you may need to allow the clients to book the services that contain the buffer times at the end of the day,<br> |
| + | despite the schedule can fit only the service duration, but not the buffer time.<br> |
| + | There may be no need for travel time or you can stay for that period at the working place if needed and do not wish to edit the availability accordingly.<br> |
| + | Let's imagine that the service has 1hr duration + 30mins buffer time, but the working period in your settings ends at 6pm and you wish the last client to book at 5pm.<br> |
| + | To make it possible please set the option Allow booking at end of day without buffer to Yes in Settings -> Main configuration and save. |
