Wix Bookings: Blocking Off Time for Multiple Staff Members

This app is no longer supported. All the functionality to block time for multiple staff members can be done through your Wix booking calendar.

Block off time for multiple staff members at once using the Time Blocker app. The app works great for recurring or one-time events when you don't want to accept any new appointment bookings. For example, if you have a weekly staff meeting or a retreat that you need staff to attend.

Note:

The Time Blocker app is not available for Studio.

In this article, learn more about:

• Adding the Time Blocker app

• Blocking off time using the Time Blocker app

Before you begin:

You must have Wix Bookings installed on your site to use the Time Blocker app.

Blocking off time using the Time Blocker app

After adding the Time Blocker app, go to your dashboard to block time for multiple staff members. You can choose the relevant people, set the time period and decide whether it repeats or not (e.g. if they're unavailable for appointments at the same time every week).

Blocked time prevents clients from booking appointments but does not affect existing class or course sessions.

2. Set the Block Period start and end dates and times using the drop-downs.

3. (Optional) Choose how often the blocked time recurs from the Repeats drop-down.
   Note: This option is only available for 1-day block periods.

4. Click Block.
