Availability
How providers set working times and availability
Working hours and availability put you in control of when requests are welcome, how discovery highlights your profile, and how your time is protected—without sharing exact locations or auto‑confirming bookings.

Quick answer
Availability is a provider-controlled scheduling layer that defines when requests are welcome and when confirmed bookings can be proposed. You can set weekly hours, travel dates, lead time, buffers, caps, and pause or throttle requests as needed. This guides discoverability and client expectations but never auto-confirms a booking—consent and negotiation are always required.
Overview
Availability is a provider‑owned scheduling layer inside your profile. It shapes when booking requests can be sent and how you appear in discovery, but it never replaces consent or negotiation. Set base hours per week (and per Service World where needed), add overrides and blackout dates, define travel dates and cities, choose your home timezone, and rely on automatic local‑time clarity for clients. Lead time, buffers, daily/weekly caps, same‑day rules, booking windows, and request throttling help you protect energy, prepare safely, and avoid pressure. Pausing or limiting new requests does not cancel existing bookings. Visibility can remain on for regional billboards even when you are not accepting new bookings.

Key availability settings
Use a default weekly schedule to set working days and time ranges, and, if enabled, Service‑World‑specific hours. Add overrides and blackout dates for holidays, rest, or fully booked periods. Define a travel schedule with future cities or regions and link billboard visibility if you want. Choose a home timezone and rely on auto‑adjustments when traveling; clients see times in their own or chosen timezone. Add lead time to allow for screening and prep. Pick a booking window (for example, 30–60 days). Allow or deny same‑day requests and, if allowed, limit their hours. Add buffers before and after bookings to avoid back‑to‑back strain. Set daily/weekly caps on bookings or hours. Enable request throttling during high activity. Pause or resume discoverability to take breaks while keeping ongoing negotiations and bookings intact. Keep visibility separate from bookability for preview or messaging‑only periods. Optionally enable one‑way calendar sync to avoid conflicts—sync never auto‑confirms. During negotiation, place soft holds on proposed time blocks; holds auto‑release if not accepted.
Practical workflows
First‑time setup: choose your timezone, set weekly hours, add lead time, buffers, and caps, decide on same‑day rules, add initial blackout dates, and select region/Service‑World discovery links. Ongoing adjustments: override specific days, add travel dates and cities, pause for rest, adjust booking windows, and tune caps or throttling seasonally. During negotiation: place a soft hold, adjust buffers if details change, and confirm when ready—availability updates automatically. When pausing: new discovery requests stop as configured; active negotiations stay visible at your pace, and existing bookings continue unless you make manual changes.
Common questions
Enable Service‑World‑specific hours in Availability, then set separate day/time ranges for each context (for example, companionship vs tantra).
Lead time gives minimum notice for screening and prep, buffers prevent back‑to‑back strain around confirmed bookings, and caps limit daily or weekly volume. Together they pace requests and protect your energy and safety.
Availability sets when requests are welcome. Visibility controls how and where you appear in discovery and billboards. Bookability decides whether you are accepting new requests. None of these auto‑confirms a booking.
Add overrides or blackout dates for specific days, or use Pause to reduce or hide discoverability. Pausing stops new discovery requests as configured but does not cancel existing bookings.
When you add future cities or regions, you can choose to enable billboard visibility there. If enabled, billboards may show time‑based labels like “Available this week” based on your settings.
Set your home timezone; the system auto‑adjusts when you add travel. Clients see times in their local or chosen timezone, keeping proposals and bookings clear for everyone.
If you enable it, requests outside hours will route to negotiation for future dates or special cases. You remain in full control to accept, decline, or suggest alternatives.
No. Calendar sync is optional and one‑way for conflict avoidance only. Bookings are confirmed only after you accept during negotiation.
Final thoughts
Use availability to set a steady pace: clear hours, practical safeguards, and flexible travel planning. Discovery becomes more accurate, your time stays protected, and negotiation and consent remain at the center.
