Blocked Slots for Rental Listings

Overview

We’ve introduced the ability to create Blocked Slots in Rentals, giving you more control over your inventory without needing to create a customer booking.

You can now block time for listings to account for maintenance, internal use, or offline commitments, ensuring availability stays accurate across your calendar and booking flows.

What’s New

• Create blocked slots for rental listings. 
• Blocked slots reduce availability just like a booking, but aren’t tied to a customer or order. 
• Optionally block specific variants and quantities (if enabled). 
• View, edit, and delete blocked slots easily from the Calendar View. 
• Blocked slots are clearly visible in the calendar with relevant details.
  

How It Works

Set the Event type as "Blocked slot" while creating a new booking

Create a blocked slot by selecting:

• Listing 
• Date & time range
• Optional variant and quantity (if applicable)
  

Once created:

• The listing becomes unavailable for the selected duration
• Availability is updated across booking flows

You can:

• View details of the blocked slot
• Edit it using the same form
• Delete it to instantly release availability

Why This Matters

• Helps manage inventory beyond customer bookings.
• Ensures accurate availability across all booking channels.
• Supports real-world scenarios like maintenance, holds, or internal usage.
• Gives you more flexibility and control over rental operations.
