Why Isn't My Availability Showing? A Checklist
Work through this checklist in order when a date or time slot is missing.
Availability Checklist
- Check the sidebar Availability calendar. Open Availability, choose the correct date, and make sure the relevant product is included in the filters. This calendar shows the availability currently in effect.
- Check the product’s schedule. Open the product and go to Availability. This page is where you manage its Seasons and Exceptions; it is different from the sidebar Availability calendar.
- Confirm the season covers the date. Check its Starts On date, optional end date, weekdays, times and capacities. A date outside that range, or a weekday without a time slot, will not be available.
- Look for an exception on the date. Exceptions always take priority over seasons. A blank exception closes that date, while an exception with different times replaces the normal schedule for that date.
- Check overlapping seasons. If two regular seasons cover the same date, the season with the latest Starts On date takes precedence. Review that winning season’s times and capacities.
- Check the product timezone. Dates, start times and cut-offs use the product’s timezone. Confirm it under Product → Settings, especially if the event is in a different timezone from your office.
- Check product-wide cut-offs. Under Product → Settings → Ticket Availability Cutoff, review Cut off time when no bookings and Cut off time after the first booking. A time slot within the applicable cut-off will no longer be bookable.
- Check the ticket’s availability. Under Product → Tickets, edit each ticket and review its Advanced Settings. A ticket-level Notice can stop that ticket type before the product-wide cut-off, so a time slot may have no tickets left to sell.
- Check capacity and assets. Confirm that the time slot has capacity. If you use assets, make sure the product has a suitable asset and that it is not unavailable or already allocated.
- Check the current Checkout Widget. Go to Widgets → Widgets → Settings. The current widget has separate Products and Extras fields; confirm that the product is selected in Products, then publish any changes. Legacy Widget only: Open Define Products, Extras … and confirm that the product is selected there.
After making a change, return to the sidebar Availability calendar first, then check the customer booking widget.
