How to Setup Your Calendar Availability
If you're looking to offer a coaching call or webinar on your Stan Store, you'll first need to set your calendar availability to make sure you don't get overbooked! With Stan, you will be able to set specific availability for each calendar product that you offer, but you can also set your availability for your whole account!
To set specific calendar availability per product, follow these instructions:
- Head to your My Store tab and add a Coaching Call type product to your Stan Store
- Navigate to the Availability tab like below:
Next, choose where you would like to host your meeting!
Be sure to have your Integrations setup (i.e. Google Calendar or Zoom). This will allow for a meeting link to be sent directly to your customers!
- Choose Your Time Zone
Select your local timezone. When your customers are selecting a time slot, they will see your calendar in their local timezone.
- Slot Type (min)
Choose the length of the meeting by selecting anywhere from 15 to 480 minutes.
- Prevent Booking within X Hours of Current Time
This will prevent any appointments that are within a certain amount of time of "now" so you arenβt booked last minute! 12-24 hours is recommended.
- Max Attendees
Host a group coaching call or a webinar by setting the number of attendees who are able to purchase a seat.
- Adding Breaks Between Meetings
To add a break before or after your event so that way you have time to rest and prepare prior to your next meeting.
Configure this setting by adding time before or after your meetings.
And lastly, choose your availability in the Select available times section!
You can also add multiple time slots throughout the day by clicking on the + icon next to the first slot!
Need to block off specific dates?
No problem! Once you sync up your Google Calendar with your Stan account, your Stan availability will take into consideration any existing meetings, blocks, or events that you have added on your Google Calendar.
But, you can also block off those dates/ times directly within Stan!
- First, select the Block off specific dates -> link
- Next, to manually block off more time from within Stan, select an empty time/date of the calendar, or select the +Block Time button.
Next, choose a date and time range you'd like to block off so that fans see it as unavailable (Note this view is in your timezone).
From = the date/ time the block begins
To = the date/ time the block ends
- Click Save and you're good to go!
