Overview
The Default calendar date option determines in how your booking calendar is displayed to your customers when they view available booking slots.
These are the options when you expand the Default calendar date drop-down menu in Bookings > Booking Site Settings.
| Setting | Description |
| Current date | Calendar defaults to today's date |
| Days ahead | Calendar defaults to X days in the future |
| Specific date | Calendar defaults to a user-defined date |
| Earliest available date | The calendar defaults to the first day a customer can actually book a game. |
How Earliest Available Date works
When you select this option, your booking calendar will no longer default to today's date or a fixed date. Instead, it will automatically search for and display the very first day that has open, available time slots for booking.
Why This is Great for Your Customers
- Saves Clicks: Customers immediately see the next available date without needing to click forward through the calendar, leading to faster bookings.
- Maximizes Conversions: This is ideal for time-sensitive customers who want to book as soon as possible, ensuring they don't miss the next open slot.
