# How to Configure Availability per Service

Availability per service allows you to define **all availability rules directly inside a service**.\
This setup is **unique to the selected service** and does not depend on teammates’ individual schedules.

It’s ideal for services with fixed availability, such as workshops, consultations, classes, or events.

***

### **📲 Step-by-Step: Configure Availability per Service**

1. From your **Shopify admin**, go to **Apps**.
2. Open **Cowlendar**.
3. Click on **My Services**.
4. Find the service you want to edit and click **Edit**.

### **🕒 Understanding Availability Settings**

Each availability block allows you to fully customize when your service can be booked:

1. **Title**\
   Set a title for the availability.\
   👉This title is **internal only** and visible only inside the service settings.
2. **Weekdays**\
   Select the days of the week when the service is available.\
   👉 By default, all weekdays are selected, but you can deselect any day.
3. **Specific Dates**\
   Add one or multiple specific dates when the service should be available.
4. **Time Slots**\
   Define one or more time slots within the same availability block.
5. **Available Teammates**\
   Choose which teammates are available for this service.\
   👉 By default, it’s set to **All teammates**, meaning every created teammate can be assigned to the booking.

### **➕ Add Multiple Availabilities**

You can click **Add availability** to create additional availability blocks.

* There is **no limit** to the number of availabilities you can create.
* Multiple availabilities can coexist within the same service, allowing advanced scheduling setups.
