Availability Mode:** Availability Mode controls how and when your services are available for booking. You can choose from different modes depending on your business needs: * **Per Service:** This is the best option for solo providers managing one calendar. If you’re offering a service that doesn’t require team management or equipment scheduling, this is the simplest and most straightforward option. {% content-ref url="/pages/vRlUgceo2M1ZhIpdmvfC" %} [Create your first service on Cowlendar](/cowlendar-help/beginners-guide/create-your-first-service-on-cowlendar.md) {% endcontent-ref %} * **Per Team Member:** This mode is ideal for businesses with 2–99 team members. It allows each service to be linked to a specific team member, helping to manage availability for each provider individually. {% content-ref url="/pages/T5umJf5TB97j7GGLfCaU" %} [How to create and assign teammates in Cowlendar](/cowlendar-help/how-to.../how-to-properly-set-up-your-team-members-in-cowlendar/how-to-create-and-assign-teammates-in-cowlendar.md) {% endcontent-ref %} * **Per Equipment:** Perfect for businesses offering rentals (e.g., vacation homes, bikes, tennis courts).

Bookable Days:** Cowlendar allows you to configure the number of days a customer can book for your service. Here’s how you can set up the **minimum and maximum number of selectable days**: * Set the **minimum** and **maximum** number of days available for booking. * If the minimum and maximum values are the same (e.g., minimum of 3 days, maximum of 3 days), the **Pre-select dates** option becomes available. This feature automatically fills in the calendar with pre-selected dates, making it easier for customers to book without having to manually select start and end dates. {% content-ref url="/pages/bc8jTXWDq2nnauvg1HHu" %} [How to Configure Pre-select Dates](/cowlendar-help/how-to.../how-to-configure-multiday-booking-services/how-to-configure-pre-select-dates.md) {% endcontent-ref %} *** **3. Skippable Dates:** You can block out specific dates to prevent them from being used as start or end dates for bookings. This is useful if you need to prevent bookings during certain periods (e.g., when the office is closed or for holidays). * Navigate to the service settings and mark any dates as **skippable**. * This ensures customers can’t select blocked days as part of their booking. {% content-ref url="/pages/OjceMF1hzy75qwDW2dje" %} [How to Configure Skippable dates](/cowlendar-help/how-to.../how-to-configure-multiday-booking-services/how-to-configure-skippable-dates.md) {% endcontent-ref %} *** **4. Discounts:** Cowlendar also offers the ability to set **automatic discounts** based on the number of days selected for the booking. Discounts can be applied as either a **percentage** or a **fixed amount**, depending on your preference. Here’s how you can set them up: * Create **multiple discount tiers** based on the number of days selected. For example: * 10% off for 3–5 days * 20% off for 6–10 days * These discounts will automatically apply as the customer selects their booking dates, ensuring they get the best possible deal for longer stays. {% content-ref url="/pages/8FO8rChuuT94ZDERCDn7" %} [How to Use the Discount Feature in Multiday services](/cowlendar-help/how-to.../how-to-configure-multiday-booking-services/how-to-use-the-discount-feature-in-multiday-services.md) {% endcontent-ref %} *** **Final Note:** If you need help setting up your Multiday Booking service or have questions about availability, pricing, or discounts, don’t hesitate to reach out through our in-app chat — we’re here to help!
