Availability
Your availability is directly related to the amount of bookings you will receive, so be sure to set these to align with your schedule. You can choose your availability based on specific days, and even add multiple time slots per day.
You can also sync your Google Calendar so that you don’t run the risk of double-booking or missing appointments. For an in-depth guide on how to connect your Google Calendar, you can refer to our guide here.
