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.

โš ๏ธ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 โ€œAll servicesโ€ 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)
โ„น๏ธ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

๐ŸšจDanger
The quantity selector will still appear, but if your quantity settings donโ€™t match the availability limits of the service, the service will show as โ€œAvailability Not Foundโ€ and your customers wonโ€™t be able to complete a booking.
