The Express Checkout booking window

Under Booking settings you control Express Checkout — the scan-to-book flow for walk-ins:

  • Enable Express Checkout — turn the walk-in booking page on or off. It’s on by default.
  • Allow customers to book — choose how late someone can still grab a class:
    • Before the class ends — up to a set number of minutes before it finishes. Leave it at 0 minutes to allow booking right up until the class ends.
    • After the class starts — up to a set number of minutes after it begins.
    • End of the day — every one of that day’s classes stays bookable until midnight.
