Overview of Creating a Booking

The Create Booking feature enables administrators to manually generate bookings for customers from the Appointments or Calendar view. As noted in the guide, admin-created bookings provide "complete flexibility — enabling bookings outside configured business or listing constraints."

Key Benefits

• Speed to Schedule
• Flexible timing and duration options
• Protection Against Conflicts (buffers and inventory enforced)
• Accurate Pricing & Deposits
• Multi-Listing Support
• Immediate Team Visibility

Important Capability
