Quick answer
Paramour availability lets you define when requests are welcome across recurring hours, one-off blocks, buffers, lead time, caps, and travel windows. Clients can request within those windows, but requests are reviewed first and may enter negotiation. A booking exists only after you accept. Calendar sync is one-way, busy-only, and redacted for privacy.
Overview
On Paramour, availability is an invitation to ask, not a promise to attend. Set recurring hours and exceptions, add before/after buffers, choose minimum lead time and daily/weekly caps, and add travel windows at the city/region level. Requests reference your times and can open a negotiation; you can place an optional soft hold that auto-expires if not confirmed. Calendar sync is privacy-first: one-way, busy-only, and redacted. No exact addresses or live status are shown. A clear calendar lowers friction, protects boundaries, and builds trust.
Provider-first control
You decide when requests are welcome, can pause any time, and only confirm bookings after you review and agree.
Safety by structure
Buffers, lead time, and caps ease last-minute pressure, help prevent double-booking, and protect your energy.
Privacy-first sync
One-way, busy-only calendar sync with redaction. Clients see simple availability windows—not personal events or exact locations.
How the scheduling model works
- Availability: a clear signal that you’re open to requests during specific windows.
- Booking Request: a client’s proposed time that you review first and can move into negotiation.
- Booking: exists only after you accept (often via a Proposal).
- Soft hold: optional, short-term hold during active negotiation; auto-expires to avoid locking your calendar.
- Time zones: you choose one main zone; client views auto-convert; DST changes are shown clearly.
- Travel windows: city/region-level dates with optional regional billboard activation.
Setup and ongoing management
- First-time: set your time zone; add recurring hours; add buffers; set lead time and caps; enable discreet notifications.
- Weekly care: add one-off availability and blackout dates; adjust buffers for services and extras.
- Travel: define windows per region; set hours per region if needed; expect longer lead times.
- Requests: review, negotiate if needed, soft-hold optionally, then accept to confirm; release time if declined.
- Pauses: hide billboards and pause requests platform-wide or per region; soft holds auto-cancel on pause.
Common questions
Availability shows when requests are welcome. A Booking Request is a pending proposal you review and may negotiate. A Booking exists only after you accept.
Choose a main time zone in settings, then add availability. Client views auto-convert, and DST shifts are shown clearly. When traveling, set travel windows for each city/region.
Buffers add prep/reset time before and after appointments. Lead time sets minimum notice. Caps limit how many bookings you take per day or week to avoid overload.
In the calendar, add an ‘available’ block for a one-off opening or mark time as ‘blackout’ for personal time. These override your recurring schedule for those dates.
Yes. You can place an optional soft hold while you’re actively negotiating. Holds auto-expire if not confirmed, returning the time to your calendar.
Use one-way, busy-only import with redaction. External events appear as ‘Busy’ without titles or notes. You can use an optional redacted export for yourself—don’t share it publicly.
Clients see simple availability summaries and requestable windows, converted to their local time. They never see your personal calendar or past appointments.
Create clear start and end times (even if they cross midnight) and set buffers and lead time for the longer duration. Multi-day engagements show as explicit start/end blocks.
Use pause controls to stop new requests platform-wide or by region and hide billboards. Any active soft holds are canceled automatically.
No. Regional billboards are opt-in. You choose when and where to appear.
Final thoughts
Use clear availability to invite the right requests, protect boundaries with buffers and lead time, and keep privacy intact with redacted sync. Review calmly, negotiate when helpful, and confirm only when it works for you.
