Same Day Bookings

Control whether customers can book appointments on the current day, and how close to the start time they can book.

Disable Same Day Bookings

If you don't want customers booking on the current day (e.g., you need time to prepare):

1. Go to Sesami > Services > [select a service]

2. Check Disable same day booking

3. Click Save

When enabled, today's date will show no available slots on the storefront calendar.

Round Up Starting Interval

If you do allow same-day bookings, the Round Up Starting Interval controls how far in advance of a time slot customers must book.

Options:

• Disable — customers can book any available slot, even one starting right now

• 15 minutes — must book at least 15 minutes before the slot starts

• 30 minutes — must book at least 30 minutes before the slot starts

Example

It's 10:45 AM. With 15 minutes round-up:

• 10:45 AM slot — not available (too soon)

• 11:00 AM slot — available (15 minutes away)

With 30 minutes round-up:

• 11:00 AM slot — not available (only 15 minutes away)

• 11:15 AM slot — available (30 minutes away)

Setting Up

1. Go to Sesami > Services > [select a service]

2. Find the Same Day Bookings section

3. Choose your round-up interval or disable same-day bookings entirely

4. Click Save

If you need customers to book further in advance (e.g., 24 hours), use Buffer Times with a "Before each appointment" value instead.
