How do I set cut-off times for my experience?

You have two cutoff times: one to get your first booking and one to get your last booking.

  • Booking cutoff time: If no one books by a certain time, you have the option to remove that instance of your experience without penalty. This helps you know in advance whether you'll be hosting or not.
    • For example, if you set your first cutoff time to 1 day before the start time and no one books by then, the experience will be removed from search.
  • New guest cutoff time: After you get at least one booking, you can set the new guest cutoff time, which is when you'll stop letting additional guests join an experience if some spots are already booked.
    • For example, if you set the new guest cutoff time to 2 hours before the start time, then additional guests can book up to two hours before the experience begins. Booking will close 2 hours prior to the start time.
