Overview

Unlike flexible appointments, fixed sessions use set start times per weekday — e.g. every Tuesday at 10:00 and Thursday at 18:00. Customers pick from those session times rather than any slot in your day.

  • Set session times per weekday
  • Copy one day's times to all open days
  • Optional end date to stop repeating
  • Supports 1:1 or group capacity
  • Compatible with waitlist when full
