You can create one-time services that start on a specific day and run for several days in a row. This is perfect for multi-day seminars, workshops, guided tours, and more.
In this article, learn more about:

Creating a multi-day service that starts on a specific day

Start by creating a class or course and then schedule when it takes place.
Before you begin:
  • Make sure to edit the hours for the staff providing this service so they are available 24 hours a day on the relevant days. 
  • To run a similar service in future that starts on another date, simply duplicate the event you created and set a new start date.

To create a multi-day service that starts on a specific day:

  1. Go to Booking Services in your site's dashboard.
  2. Click Add a New Service.
  3. Select Start from Scratch under Class or Course.
  4. Complete the General Info and Service Details sections with all of the necessary information about the service.
  5. Click Your Calendar under Add Sessions to Get Booked. 
  1. Select the staff member in charge of the session. 
  2. Set the start date and time. 
  3. Select Custom from the Duration drop-down and set the number of hours the session lasts so it covers multiple days (up to 99 hours).
    Note: To create even longer services you can schedule an additional session that starts as soon as the first one ends. Note that this appears as two sessions on your live site. 
  4. Select Doesn't Repeat.
  5. Click Save.
What's next?
The dates and times you select then appear on the service page before your clients book.


Creating a multi-day service that's bookable at different times

You may want to create an appointment-style service that lasts more than one day. Clients can choose when they want the service to begin.

  1. Go to Booking Services in your site's dashboard.
  2. Click Add a New Service.

  6. Set the duration in the Service Details section:
    1. Select Custom from the Session Duration drop-down.
    2. Enter the length of the service (e.g. 72 hours).   
  7. Finish creating the service and click Save.

    4. Enter your end time (e.g. 2:00 AM)
    5. Click Save.
      Note: The staff member who provides the service must also be available during the relevant hours. 
  2. Change your staff member's hours:
    1. Go to the Staff tab in your site's dashboard.
    2. Hover over the relevant staff member and click Edit in the top right corner.
    3. Do one of the following:

        1. Select the checkbox next to the day(s) you offer the service.
        2. Enter a start time.
        3. Enter your end time (e.g. 2:00 AM).
        4. (Optional) Add an additional time period for the same day:Click the + icon.
          1. Enter a start and end time. (e.g. 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM).
