Appointment Bookings are a great way to extend your current offerings as a host on the platform to allow for consultations, private sessions, and more. To set up this piece of your profile, you can follow the instructions below:
1. Make sure you have set up templates that can be requested. To do so, go to Host Features/Tags and Templates and either create new templates for booking or enable your current templates to be booked. Make sure you have enabled the "Bookable Appointment?" option to allow this template to be chosen for booking requests.

2. Head over to Host Features/Availability and Requests and you can see and respond to outstanding requests, set up new availability slots, manage your schedule settings, and see your calendar availability. To begin, choose whether you want to set up a window where you will be Available or Unavailable. Then you can choose which templates you want to be bookable for the given window you've selected. Next, you can choose which days of the week this window should apply to, and the start and stop times for the selected window. For example, you could choose to have a consultation option for 9am - 5pm, Monday through Friday. Then you could set up a different window for a private session for 12pm - 2pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The possibilities are endless!
3. After setting up your windows of availability, make sure to set up your schedule settings where you can provide buffers before or after your appointments, the start time of time slots, and limits to when and how frequently you can be booked.
Appoints are a great way to extend your reach as a host, giving more and more options to your clients to book you for your services and monetize your talents.
