How to set Buffer time

Last updated: September 15, 2026

Add prep or cleanup time around appointments so the next booking cannot start too soon.

Buffer time is not part of the customer appointment. It only blocks the next booking from starting too soon.

1

Open the service and click "Buffer time" in the left menu.

2

Choose "Don't use buffer time", or "Use custom buffer time".

Buffer time tab with "Don't use buffer time" selected under Buffer type to use
"Don't use buffer time" — no prep or cleanup padding after the service
3

If you use custom buffers, set Before buffer (preparation) and After buffer (cleanup) in minutes, then click Save.

Buffer time tab with "Use custom buffer time" selected and Before buffer and After buffer fields set to 30 minutes each
"Use custom buffer time" — set Before buffer and After buffer in minutes
