Is there a way to only allow scheduling on for a service on a specific date?

I am hosting mini sessions for photoshoots, and I only want a client to be able to book a session on one date, between 10am and 4pm. But right now, it appears I can only narrow it down to days of the week and times during those days. Has anyone cracked this case?

You can create this event as a class instead of a service.

Hey @mschafferphoto,

Thanks for reaching out to the Community.

I agree with @Jacky_MBL that creating this event as a class instead of a service would be the best move.

You can learn how to Create and schedule classes with Square Appointments here.

Let me know if this helps.

Another option is to remove all of your bookable availability and do a one-time change to your availability to open specific times on specific dates.

If you offer other services that you want to be bookable on a reoccurring schedule, you can create a new "staff" and set up their schedule to only accept the service you're asking about.
