Booking settings control how far ahead customers can book a service, how much notice they need to cancel, and how much time to leave around each booking.
Open a service from Settings → Catalogue → Services, then select Booking Settings.
These rules apply to customers booking on your website. You and your staff can override them and book at any time.
