1๏ธโƒฃ How to set weekdays + specific weekend date

This configuration allows you to offer regular weekday availability while also adding a specific weekend date for a one-time event, workshop, or special session.

Itโ€™s perfect when your service usually runs Monday to Friday, but you occasionally want to open bookings on a specific Saturday or Sunday without affecting your regular schedule.

๐Ÿงฉ When to Use This Setup

Use this configuration if you want to:

  • Keep a consistent weekday schedule
  • Add a one-off weekend event
  • Avoid changing or disrupting your regular availability
  • Offer workshops, classes, or special events on specific weekend dates

๐Ÿ“ฒ Step-by-Step: Configure Weekdays + a Specific Weekend Date

From your Shopify admin, go to Apps.

Open Cowlendar.

Click on My Services.

Find the service you want to edit and click Edit.

Go to the Availability tab.

Make sure Availability mode is set to Availability per service.

Just below Availability mode, locate the Availability section.

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Configure Your Regular Weekday Availability

In your existing availability block:

* Use the Weekdays option

* Make sure only Monday to Friday are selected

* Leave Saturday and Sunday unchecked

This ensures your regular weekday availability stays active and unchanged.

๐ŸŽ‰ Add a Specific Weekend Date

Click Add availability to create a new availability block.

Set the Title to something like Weekend (internal use only).

In this new availability:

  • Deselect all weekdays, including Saturday and Sunday
  • Enable Specific dates
  • Select the exact weekend date you want to offer (Saturday or Sunday)

Set the time slot(s) you want to offer for that specific date.

Click Save to apply the changes.

โœ… Final Result

  • Your regular Mondayโ€“Friday availability remains active.
  • The specific weekend date appears as bookable only on the selected date.
  • The weekend availability does not repeat and does not affect your standard schedule.

Customers will see:

  • Normal weekday availability as usual
  • An additional available date on the weekend for your special event, class, or workshop
