Settings
Note: Many of these settings are only visible when they're relevant. For example, if none of your appointment types have prices, you won't have the option to hide prices.
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Hide add another time | Removes the option for clients to add additional times during the booking process. Visit Offering recurring appointments in Acuity to learn more about recurring appointments. |
| Require phone number | Makes phone number a required field for clients booking appointments. |
| Disable client log in & registration | Removes the option for clients to register for and log into client accounts. |
| Hide duration | Hides appointment durations on your scheduler. |
| Hide prices | Hides all prices on the appointment type list on your scheduler. Clients will still be charged at checkout, depending on your payment settings. |
| Collapse categories | Shows a list of categories instead of listing all appointment types separated by categories. When clients click a category, it expands to show the appointment types in that category. Clients can click Show all appointments beneath the category list to view all public appointment types instead. |
| Services: Allow clients to book multiple spots | Clients can choose the number of spots they'd like when booking appointments. This is only possible on calendars that accept more than one appointment at a time. |
| Classes: Allow clients to book multiple spots | Clients can choose the number of spots they'd like when booking a class. |
| Services: Hide Spots Left | Hides the number of spots remaining for a service. Clients will only see the dates and times of available services. |
| Classes: Hide Spots Left | Hides the number of spots remaining in a class. Clients will only see the dates and times of available classes. |
| Calendars: Pool availability and automatically pick an available calendar | Removes the option for clients to pick individual calendars through calendar pooling. Each appointment is assigned to the calendar that's open at the client’s desired time, and has the fewest other appointments that day, unless Calendars: Prioritize calendars with “Any available” instead of round robin (see below) is enabled. |
| Calendars: Hide "any available" option from calendar list | Removes Any available from the calendar list in your scheduler, so clients can only choose a specific calendar during booking. Completely removes calendar pooling. |
| Calendars: Prioritize calendars with "Any available" instead of round robin | When Acuity distributes calendar pooling appointments, it prioritizes your calendars based on their order in your Availability panel. |
