Your sellers will be able to make specific dates and time unavailable for bookings whenever they upload a listing. To do so, select your start date and end date, and click ‘Block this date / time’.
You are able to block the entire day or specific hours. In the example below, the seller has set dates from 05/10/16 9am - 11pm and 06/10/16 8am-9pm to become unavailable for bookings.
How to block out the entire day, check the 'Block out for full day(s)' and specify the dates to become unavailable for bookings.
After that, the selected dates will be colored grey and marked ‘Blockout’. If the whole day is blocked, the entire box will be greyed out. If there are only specific hours in a day that is blocked, only a portion of the box will be greyed out.
The green-colored dates indicate that there are bookings on that day. You can switch the calendar view to ‘day’ in order to see the booking for that day.
In addition, sellers will have the option of making a listing available 24/7 under the ‘schedule’ section of the listing upload page. This will make your listing bookable at any time of the day. If a seller specifies that he does not operate 24/7, then he would have to indicate his operating hours, as shown below.

So this means that the availability is per listing?
What if the same person has TWO different types of services and he creates listings for each of them with the same availability. If a booking is made with listing A at time X then on listing B time X will show as available? That doesn't make any sense... it's the same person/seller.
Hi David,
Yes! Our availability is per listing, this is to provide the most flexibility for our admins with different use cases. For example, a music school (seller/merchant account) has multiple classrooms with different classes.
The use case you mentioned seems to be more for professional services (e.g. Fiverr) where a single seller can list multiple services and block out the same calendar. This experience is possible to replicate our platform through calendar integration. You will require access to APIs and coding knowledge to develop.
Please feel free to contact our customer support if you have any other queries! :)
