Go to Dashboard → Availability to set your open booking windows, and Dashboard → Requests to manage incoming requests.
Setting your availability:
Availability windows show clients which events you'll be at. Click Create Window and add the event name, location, dates and the kind of shoots you'll take there. Then use Manage Slots to add time slots people can claim.
Free accounts can have one active window at a time. Pro has no limit.
When your availability is set, it displays on your public profile so clients can see at a glance if you're free before they reach out.
How booking requests work:
When someone wants to book you, they send a request from the booking form on your page. They don't need a BCKSTG account. You get an email and the request shows up in Dashboard → Requests.
On Pro you can ask for a deposit with every request. Set it in Requests, Settings, after you connect Stripe.
Each request includes:
- The client's name and account type
- The event or project details they've provided
- Requested date and location
- Their contact info
Responding to a request:
From Dashboard → Requests, you can Accept, Decline or Archive a request, and write to the client in the Conversation section. If they sent it without a BCKSTG account, reply by email.
Notes:
- You're never committed to a booking until you explicitly accept
- Setting your availability to visible is optional, you can accept requests even if no windows are set
