Avada Appointment Booking
Holidays

Holidays

Overview

Block specific dates from being booked — for holidays, closures, or maintenance days. On a blocked date, your store shows as closed for the days you choose, either across all services or just the ones you pick.

How to Access

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Click the Business hours tab
  3. Scroll to the Holidays section

Adding a Holiday

  1. Click Add holiday
  2. Enter a Holiday name (up to 30 characters, e.g. "Christmas Day")
  3. Select a date — click a single day, or click and drag to select a range
  4. Optional: turn on Repeat every year to apply the same date automatically every year
  5. Choose the Service scope:
    • All services — every service is closed on this date
    • Specific services — search and select which services this holiday applies to
  6. Click Save changes

Each holiday appears in a table with its name, date, service scope, and edit/delete actions. A Yearly badge marks holidays that repeat.

Behavior

  • On a blocked date, no time slots are available for the affected service(s) — customers can't book that day at all
  • Existing appointments already booked on that date are not cancelled — a holiday only blocks new bookings going forward
  • Deleting a holiday immediately reopens that date for booking
