Can I create a buffer between appointments (e.g. for preparation)?

Yes. With Bookly PRO, you can add padding time before or after an appointment for preparation, cleanup, or breaks. You can configure it separately for each service.

To set up padding time:

1. Go to Bookly > Services and open the service you want to edit.
2. Find Padding time in the service’s time settings and set the additional time before and/or after the appointment.
3. Save your changes.

Padding time is reserved and cannot be used for another booking.

For example, if an appointment runs from 08:00 to 09:00 and you set 15 minutes of padding time after it, the next appointment can start at 09:15.
