Setting Blackout Dates (Days Off)
A blackout dateis a whole day you aren't working. Marking a day off keeps buyers whose event falls on that date from booking — or even seeing — your service listings, so you don't get requests you can't fulfill. Blackout dates apply only to your service listings; products and digital goods keep selling as normal.
How to mark a day off
- Open your calendar in the vendor dashboard.
- Select the day you want off to open the day view.
- Choose Mark day off. The day is saved immediately and appears struck through on your calendar.
- To make the day bookable again, open it and choose Remove day off.
What a day off does
- Hidden from date-filtered search.Buyers with an event on that date won't see your service listings in their results.
- Flagged elsewhere.On your storefront and listing pages, a service shows as "Not available for your event date" and can't be added to the buyer's cart for that event.
- Dropped at checkout. If a buyer added your service before setting a date, and their date lands on your day off, the item is automatically removed from their order.
Good to know
- Blackout dates are whole days — they aren't partial-hour blocks.
- Existing confirmed bookings on a day aren't changed by marking it off; a day off only affects new bookings.
- Products and digital listings are never hidden by a blackout date.
