# Flexible Slots

Flexible Slots let you control the interval at which time slots are displayed on your booking calendar — independent of the service duration.

## What Flexible Slots Do

By default, Sesami generates time slots based on the service duration. With Flexible Slots, you choose how your availability is displayed — every 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes — giving you and your customers more flexibility.

**Example:** A 60-minute service with 15-minute flexible slots would show:

* 9:00 AM, 9:15 AM, 9:30 AM, 9:45 AM, 10:00 AM...

Without Flexible Slots, it would only show:

* 9:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM...

## Setting Up Flexible Slots

1. Go to **Sesami > Services > \[select a service]**
2. Scroll to **Flexible Slots**
3. Choose your interval: **15**, **30**, **45**, or **60 minutes**
4. Click **Save**

The new interval applies to both the **Admin Portal** booking view and the **Online Store** calendar.

## When to Use Flexible Slots

* **More booking options** — shorter intervals give customers more choices, reducing missed bookings
* **Optimized scheduling** — fill gaps in your calendar by offering staggered start times
* **Service overlap control** — use with buffer times to manage transitions between appointments
