How to block off holidays

To prevent clients from booking appointments on holidays when your business is closed, follow these steps:

1. Log in to Bookedin, then go to Settings > Services > click Add New Service
2. Create a service named Holiday with a duration that blocks the whole day.
3. Set the service to Private by unchecking the Make public check box.
   
4. Now go to your Bookedin calendar and find the date you want to block, ex. Dec 25, 2025.
5. Now click the calendar to book an appointment. 
6. Select Holiday in the Service field.
7. Enter the name of the holiday in the Client Name field.
   
8. If desired, you can also click Make recurring to repeat this holiday annually.
   
9. Click Book It to save the changes.
   
10. Repeat the steps for other holidays.

This ensures clients won’t be able to book appointments on days when your business is closed, keeping your schedule organized and hassle-free.
