# Booking Experiences The customer-facing booking flow and calendar interfaces that customers use to book appointments. ## What are Booking Experiences? Booking experiences are the visual interfaces and interactions customers see when booking services on your online store. Sesami provides modern, fast-loading calendar experiences inspired by the Stendig calendar. {% embed url="" %} ## Features * **Lightning fast** - Built with Lit web components for optimal performance * **Standalone component** - Supports native or headless frameworks like Hydrogen * **Highly customizable** - Use the [Experience Configurator](https://sesami.dev/docs/storefront-integration/configurator/) to customize to your liking * **Not another Calendly clone** - Unique design by Sesami designers ## Calendar Experiences Sesami offers two built-in calendar experiences: ### [Month/Day View](/booking/booking-experiences/month-day-view.md) A modern monthly view that makes it easier for customers to find availability: * Monthly view with clear "available days" * For **Group Bookings**, shows how many spots are left per time slot * Option to hide the **Any available** choice (if you want customers to pick a specific resource) ### [Multi-day View](/booking/booking-experiences/multi-day-view.md) The classic calendar experience: * Multi-day horizontal scrolling view * Default calendar after Sesami installation * Automatically available on service pages in most Shopify themes ## Switching Calendars **Online Store 2.0 themes**: If your store uses an **Online Store 2.0** theme, you can switch calendar experiences from your theme editor, allowing you to experiment freely. **Vintage themes**: If your store uses a **Vintage** theme, installation and switching calendars may require manual work (because the theme doesn't support the same app block switching flow). ## Additional Experience Features ### [Localizing the Experience](/booking/booking-experiences/localizing-experience.md) Customize the booking experience for different languages and regions. ### [Resource Selection](/booking/booking-experiences/resource-selection.md) Allow customers to choose their preferred resource (team member, room, etc.) during booking. ### [Browser Compatibility](/booking/booking-experiences/browser-compatibility.md) Information about which browsers are supported. ## Bespoke Calendars (SDK) If you need a fully custom booking experience, you can build a bespoke calendar using the **Sesami SDK**. If you're unsure which calendar to use for your use case, start with the Month/Day view and only go bespoke if you have a strong reason (custom UX, unique rules, advanced flow, etc.).
