Set a Minimum Booking Duration
TailDesk Pro lets you set a minimum booking duration for each service. Use this when customers must book a service for a minimum number of days, for example a two-night home boarding stay or a three-day holiday care period.
Open the service settings
- In your WordPress dashboard, go to TailDesk → Services.
- Open the service you want to edit.
- Locate the TailDesk Pro setting for the minimum booking days.
Set the minimum number of days
Enter the minimum number of days a customer must select for this service. TailDesk applies the rule to the booking date range for that service.
For example, if you enter 3, customers must request at least three booking days before the booking can be submitted.
Choose a value that matches the service
The minimum duration is configured per service, so different services can use different rules. A daycare service may allow single-day bookings, while home boarding or holiday care may require a longer minimum stay.
Save the service
Save or update the service after changing the minimum booking duration. The rule is then applied when customers use a booking form that includes that service.
If customers cannot select a short booking
If a customer cannot submit a shorter date range, check the minimum booking days configured for the selected service. Also confirm that the requested dates still have enough availability for the booking.
Note: Minimum booking days are a TailDesk Pro feature. The setting is configured per service, so it does not have to be the same for every service you offer.
