How to Use the Close Event Function to Prevent Further Bookings
The Close Event function allows you to manually stop additional bookings for a scheduled session. This is useful when:
- You want to temporarily block new bookings without cancelling the event.
- You need to prevent last-minute bookings beyond a certain point.
- You wish to close bookings earlier than the set booking cut-off time.
📌 Important:
- Closing an event does not cancel existing bookings—customers already booked will not be affected.
- If a class reaches capacity, it will automatically stop accepting new bookings. However, you can manually close a session earlier if needed.
- You can reopen the event at any time if you want to allow bookings again.
How to Close an Event
1️⃣ Go to Schedule > Calendar from the left-hand menu.
2️⃣ Locate the session you want to close.
3️⃣ Click on the session to open its details.
4️⃣ Click Close Event to prevent any further bookings.
✅ The event is now closed. Customers will no longer be able to book into this session.
How to Reopen a Closed Event
If you need to allow bookings again, you can reopen the session.
1️⃣ Go to Schedule > Calendar.
2️⃣ Find the closed event (it will be marked as closed).
3️⃣ Click on the session to open its details.
4️⃣ Click Reopen Event to enable bookings again.
✅ Customers can now book into this session as usual.
