Sessions & bookings

Reference

Set your availability

Create working-hour schedules, choose a timezone, and use Google Calendar to avoid booking conflicts.

Availability defines the days and times clients may book your sessions. Keep one schedule for your usual hours, or create separate schedules for offers that need different booking windows.

Open Availability to review the schedules attached to your offers.

Create an availability schedule

  1. Select Add availability.
  2. Enter an Availability name that helps you recognize where the schedule belongs, such as Working hours or Evening sessions.
  3. Choose the Timezone in which you are setting the hours. This keeps the schedule anchored to your local working time while clients view available times in their own timezone.
  4. Turn on each day you accept bookings, then choose its start and end time. Select Add beside a time range when you need a second block on the same day, such as morning and evening hours.
  5. Save the schedule. Its card under Your availability shows the enabled days, hours, and timezone so you can check the result without reopening it.

When you create or edit an offer, select this schedule under Availability. One schedule can be used by more than one offer.

Edit an existing schedule

Select a card under Your availability to change its Availability name, Timezone, or working hours. Save the update, then check the card to confirm it shows the intended hours and timezone.

Changes apply to offers that use the schedule, so review those offers before removing hours clients may expect to book.

Choose the default schedule

The schedule marked Default is selected automatically when you start a new offer. To use a different one, select the (⋮) button on its card and choose Set default.

The Default badge moves to that schedule. You can still choose any other availability from the offer editor.

Duplicate or delete a schedule

Select the (⋮) button on a schedule card when you want to reuse or remove it.

  • Duplicate creates a copy and opens it for editing. Give the copy a recognizable name and adjust its hours before saving it.
  • Delete removes the schedule from all session types and cannot be undone. The default schedule cannot be deleted; set another schedule as the default first if you need to remove it.

Connect Google Calendar

An availability schedule defines when you normally work. Google Calendar lets Pineway remove times that are already occupied by your events.

  1. Open Calendar settings, then select Connect Calendar or Connect beside Google calendar.
  2. Complete the Google connection. Once connected, your Google account and calendars appear on the page.
  3. Under Add sessions to calendar, choose the calendar that should receive new booked sessions.
  4. Under Check for conflict, turn on every calendar Pineway should check before showing a time as available. A busy event in an enabled calendar blocks that time from booking.

Your calendar choices save as you change them. Return to Calendar settings to check which calendar receives new sessions and which calendars are enabled for conflict checks.
