Defines the maximum lead time allowed before the reservation date.
Some guests prefer to book their reservations well in advance, but hosts may not want to permit bookings too far into the future.

How to set the Availability window:

1. Go to a desired listing page, then click Settings

2. Click on Booking settings tab

3. Select a desired Booking window setting

4. Click Save Changes

Once you select the number of months for your booking window, it means that for X amount of months, the calendar will be available for reservations and the rest of the dates in the future will be blocked out by the system.

The number of months is calculated from the current day until the X month calendar day. +1 Day will auto open using the listing set Daily price value.

Example:

If you've set a Booking Window of 3 months: If today is September 1st, the calendar will be open until the December 1st, and from the December 2nd onwards, the rest of the calendar days will be made unavailable.

When tomorrow comes September 2st, the calendar will be open until the December 2st with listing Daily price value set for December 2st, and from the December 3nd onwards, the rest of the calendar days will be made unavailable.

Note:

Booking window option will not auto-open previously blocked dates due to security reasons. Once Booking window option is set you will have to manually open desired block dates that are "under" the set Booking window period from the Multicalendar.

With multi-unit listings, set the Booking Window on the main unit. Any connected child listings will be updated.
