Hey ! Do you plan to enable a “holiday mode” to close the reservation for special days ?
Hey Gui,
The holiday mode is possible if you use the “Date override’ option.
Is there any way to create all day events or even a three-ten day event where people can book to come to a single day or the entire event, or even select days they would like to attend?
Hi Scott,
Currently, you can’t set that feature, but it’s on our roadmap. We may add it in the future.
