# How to Configure Availability in Cowlendar Services

Cowlendar services are **extremely flexible** when it comes to availability configuration.\
This flexibility allows you to build **almost any booking setup**, whether you offer one-on-one services, team-based appointments, or resource-based rentals.

Depending on your business model, Cowlendar lets you define availability in different ways—so bookings always reflect **real availability**, avoid conflicts, and adapt perfectly to your workflow.

Below, you’ll find the **three main availability types** you can use in Cowlendar.

***

### **📌 Availability per Service**

This option allows you to **configure availability directly inside a single service**.

The availability set here is **unique to that service** and does not depend on teammates or equipment.

**Best for:**\
Workshops, medical consultations, coaching sessions, private classes, or any service with a fixed schedule.

{% endcontent-ref %}

### **👥 Availability per Teammate**

With this setup, you can **connect one or multiple teammates** to a service.\
Each teammate can define **their own individual availability**, and customers will book based on who is available.

This ensures accurate scheduling while allowing your team to manage their own calendars.

**Best for:**\
Barbershops, spas, salons, clinics, and any business with multiple staff members.

### **🛠️ Availability per Equipment**

This option allows you to connect **one or multiple pieces of equipment** (such as bikes, kayaks, cars, or rooms) to a service.

All equipment shares the **same availability schedule**, but **each item can be booked individually**, preventing double bookings of the same resource.

**Best for:**\
Equipment rentals, activity centers, vehicle bookings, or shared resources.

💡Choosing the right availability type depends on whether your service is based on **time**, **people**, or **resources**.
