Click &#8216;Booking Policies&#8217; and look for the &#8216;Booking slot size&#8217; menu.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8556\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/blog-setmore\/1\/2022\/04\/appointmentslots2-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"booking policies in setmore\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/blog-setmore\/1\/2022\/04\/appointmentslots2-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/blog-setmore\/1\/2022\/04\/appointmentslots2-250x141.jpg 250w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/blog-setmore\/1\/2022\/04\/appointmentslots2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/blog-setmore\/1\/2022\/04\/appointmentslots2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/blog-setmore\/1\/2022\/04\/appointmentslots2-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/blog-setmore\/1\/2022\/04\/appointmentslots2-120x68.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 300px, (min-width: 361px) 768px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>3. Here you can <strong>set the time between two consecutive appointments<\/strong>. For example, if you want slots to be separated by 30 minutes, choose &#8217;30&#8217; from the minutes drop-down and leave the hour drop-down blank. That way each appointment slot will be 30 minutes long.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8557\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/blog-setmore\/1\/2022\/04\/appointmentslots3-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"booking slot size in setmore\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/blog-setmore\/1\/2022\/04\/appointmentslots3-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/blog-setmore\/1\/2022\/04\/appointmentslots3-250x141.jpg 250w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/blog-setmore\/1\/2022\/04\/appointmentslots3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/blog-setmore\/1\/2022\/04\/appointmentslots3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/blog-setmore\/1\/2022\/04\/appointmentslots3-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/blog-setmore\/1\/2022\/04\/appointmentslots3-120x68.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 300px, (min-width: 361px) 768px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Your business hours will be divided into slots accordingly. For example, if your business hours begin at 10:00 A.M and you have defined an appointment slot of 30 minutes, your customers will be able to book appointments at 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, 11:30 and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Creating appointment slots takes only a few clicks and helps you stay organized.
