# 🔢 How to Set Minimum and Maximum Booking Quantities per Service

> Control minimum and maximum participant quantities allowed per booking.

Offer More Flexibility While Staying in Control of Your Booking Capacity

This guide explains how to use the **Quantity on service** feature to define how many people or units can be booked for a single time slot. This is especially useful if you offer services like event entries, group experiences, or table reservations where multiple spots can be booked at once.

> **⚠️ Warning**
>
> This feature controls how many spots can be booked in one time slot, not multiple time slots. If your service is set to allow 1 booking per time slot, setting a minimum quantity of 2 will cause availability issues.

Enable the Quantity Feature

1. Go to **Apps**
2. Open **Cowlendar**
3. Navigate to **Settings > General Settings**
4. Scroll to the **Quantity on service** section

Define Quantity Rules for Specific Services

In the **Quantity on service** section, click **Add a service**.

You can choose to:

* Keep the **“All services”** toggle active to create a **general rule** that applies to all your services.
* Or, add **specific rules for individual services** even while the general rule is active.

For each service you configure, set:

* **Minimum quantity** (e.g., 2)
* **Maximum quantity** (e.g., 8)

> **ℹ️ Info**
>
> This allows you to force customers to book at least a specific number of seats or slots in a single time slot.

**Make Sure Your Booking Limits Match**

To ensure the quantity rule works without errors, double-check the following:
Go to **My Services** and click **Edit** on the relevant service
Open the **Advanced** tab
Confirm that **Booking limit per timeslot** is set to a value **equal or greater** than your quantity maximum
**Example:** If you allow 8 people per booking, the booking limit per timeslot should be **at least 8**

> **🚨 Danger**
>
> The quantity selector will still appear, but if your quantity settings don’t match the availability limits of the service, the service will show as “Availability Not Found” and your customers won’t be able to complete a booking.
