If you have services that have fixed start times and use modern, slots weekly, modern provider or daily classes calendar layouts, you can try using Appointment at fixed time custom feature.
Slots Colors
You can also adjust the colors for available and unavailable slots to your taste and your company brand colors. Almost any theme and calendar layout allow such adjustments.
Please navigate to Settings -> Booking Website Design -> Themes & Colors -> Color settings -> Busy time color / Available time color.
And here is the example of Slots Weekly calendar layout colors and legend on the client side:
End Time Display
Modern and Slots Weekly calenday layouts allow to show end time per timeslot. You can turn this option on in Settings -> Booking Website Design -> Calendar Layout -> Calendar Layout settings -> Show end time option.
The example of end time display with Modern layout:
Date Pickers
There is also a possibility to adjust how the calendar looks on the client side to make the desired date selection as easy and convenient as possible.
Please go to Settings -> Booking Website Design -> Calendar Layout -> Calendar Layout settings -> Select datepicker type.
There are two types of datepickers:
- Inline datepicker is more compact as the calendar is hidden till the client clicks on the date above the timeslots and gets a pop-up that allows switching between months and dates.
- Top calendar adds two lines calendar at the top of timeslots(4-5 lines calendar on mobile devices) that are shown all the time and allow to switch between dates and months.
Sidebar
You may wish to show service and/or provider information on the time step. It is especially useful if you have only one service and provider and the booking process goes straight to timestep.
Certain themes support showing timeline sidebar.
To enable it please go to Settings -> Booking Website Design -> Themes & Colors -> Other settings -> Display timeline sidebar option.
Here is the example from Default theme:
- Please note! This sidebar is automatically hidden on mobile screens or within similar width(may differ depending on the theme).
