Overview
Before going live with online bookings, it’s essential to define your availability. Noona HQ gives you two ways to manage when clients can (and can’t) book with you:
Blocked Times: Prevent bookings during specific hours or days
Guiding Opening Hours: Show suggested availability on your profile
This guide explains the difference and how to set both.
⛔ Blocked Times: Prevent Bookings During Specific Hours
To stop clients from booking during certain hours—like lunch breaks, personal time, or scheduled days off—you’ll need to create Blocked Times.
🔗 Learn how to create Blocked Times in this article.
What Are Blocked Times?
Blocked Times appear as dark/black bars on your calendar
They completely prevent online bookings during the specified period
Blocked times override opening hours and apply only to your personal calendar
Example:
Mondays fully blocked → no bookings accepted all day
Wednesdays blocked from 14:00 to 18:00 → clients can only book you before 14:00
Blocked times are perfect for customizing your weekly availability or handling one-off absences.
🕒 Guiding Opening Hours: Shown on Your Public Profile
When setting up your online profile, you’ll be asked to fill in your Guiding Opening Hours.
These are informational only and do not prevent bookings.
What They Do:
Appear on your Noona public profile
Let clients know your general working hours
What They Don’t Do:
They do not block bookings
Clients can still book you outside of these hours if availability is open
