Common Questions

Can I export the calendar?

Currently, the calendar is viewed within the platform. External calendar integration may be added in the future.

How far in advance can I see bookings?

You can navigate to any month to see scheduled bookings. Bookings can be scheduled weeks or months in advance.

What if a booking needs to be rescheduled?

Contact the business through messaging to discuss rescheduling. Any date changes would be reflected in the calendar.
