If the online calendar only shows red dots, this can be the result of one or more settings. Check following (all):
(Look further down this article how to customize it!)

☛ Are working hours created?
☛ Was the necessary knowledge indicated?
☛ Are the employees visible online?
☛ Is the service checked to be bookable online?
☛ Does the service have a duration?
☛ Is the menu checked to be bookable online?
☛ Was a holiday booked for this period?
☛ Are services blocked for a weekday/specific date?
☛ Is there a block on the calendar for that day/employee?

☛What is the shortest notification for an appointment (in hours)

If you have checked every setting above and everything appears to be OK but you are still having problems? Please let us know with which service / menu this specifically occurs, as well as the date on which the customer tries to book this and with which employee if there is a choice.
