Depending on your Acuity plan, you can create multiple calendars for your business. 

Each calendar represents a separate set of hours when clients can book appointments. Some small businesses only need one calendar. If you have multiple staff members or locations, you can create individual calendars for them.

The number of calendars you can use depends on your Acuity plan:

  • Emerging - One calendar
  • Growing - Up to six calendars
  • Powerhouse - Up to 36 calendars 
  • Enterprise - Unlimited
Tip: If you have calendars for your staff, and more staff on duty than capacity for appointments to take place, add Rooms/Resources. For example, you can use Rooms/Resources if you have fewer rooms than staff or equipment clients need to use.

Delete a calendar

Before deleting a calendar, keep the following in mind:

  • Cancel all of the appointments on the calendar, or reschedule them to a different calendar. If you don't do this, ‌appointments won't appear on any calendar. They won't be deleted, but they'll only be in individual client records, making them harder to find.
  • Contributors with view-only or view & edit permissions can only view appointments from a deleted calendar if you reschedule the appointments to a calendar they can access.
  • The calendar name will no longer appear in the appointment details; instead, there will be a DELETED CALENDAR warning. 

To delete a calendar:

  1. Open the Availability panel: I log in with an Acuity account | I log in with a Squarespace account
