The details that make your calendar yours.
A few concepts are worth understanding well before you configure your profile.
General Custom Schedules
Enable availability outside regular business hours, such as Saturday morning appointments between 9am and 1pm.
Time Base & Minimum Notice
The time base equals your shortest service duration and segments your calendar accordingly. Minimum notice establishes the required advance booking period.
Variable Start & End Times
Useful for time-dependent services like sunset photography, where end times are fixed but start times adjust based on service duration.
Connection & Booking Forms
Customizable forms gather additional information beyond basic signup data, with the ability to display details in scheduled time slots.
Quick Select Tags
These help clients efficiently identify services from comprehensive lists containing base and combined service options with varying durations.
Service Providers
As your business expands, trusted associates can download Avie, register, connect as service providers, and manage their availability.
