The panel's settings, from top to bottom:

How it's booked

Two buttons: By time and Seats on a trip. By time is picked when you start. It is for a time with a person, court or room. See Make a service bookable.

When you tap Seats on a trip, the app says "Seats on a boat or in a class, leaving at set times. Everyone on one departure shares it." The first boat in your list is ticked.

If you tap By time again, the trip's departure times are taken off.

Which boat or class

One row for each boat or class, with its seats, like "12 seats". Tap a row to pick it. A green tick shows. A trip goes on one boat.

Under the rows, the app draws the boat's seats. It says, for example, "One departure on Boat 1" and "12 seats".

Only boats and classes with more than 1 seat show here, and only ones that are switched on.

With no boat added, the app says "Nothing with seats yet. Add a boat or a class in Bookings settings, with how many seats it has." See Common mistakes below.

Customers see

the boat's name on each departure.

How long it runs

How long the boat is out. Under it, the app says, for example, "Boat 1 is out this long". Tap the minus or plus to change it.

Every size of a trip takes this same time.

Customers see

the length under the trip's name, like "Leaves 08:00 · 3 h 30". Each departure shows when it comes back, like "Back about 11:30".

Leaves at

The times the boat leaves. At the right, the app says when it is back, like "Back 3 h 30 later".

Each time shows as a dark button, like 08:00. To take a time off, tap it.

Under the times is On these days, with a button for each day, from Sat to Fri. Every day is on when you start. Tap a day to take it off. Tap it again to put it back. With no day on, the app says "Pick the days it runs."

For other times on some days, tap Different times on some days. Each day then gets its own row of times. To go back, tap The same times every day. Then every day gets the first day's times.

A time may not fit the boat's hours. Then a note says so, like "Boat 1 is closed on Friday, so the 08:00 trip wouldn't be offered then." Change the time or the days. Or change the boat's hours. See Add who gets booked.

Customers see

under the trip's name, "Leaves 08:00 · 3 h 30". With two times, "Leaves 08:00 and 14:00 · 3 h 30". With three or more, "Leaves from 08:00 · 3 h 30".

Seats one booking can take

The most seats one customer can book at once. The line says, for example, "Up to 12, Boat 1's seats". When you start, it is all the boat's seats.

Tap the minus to make it fewer. Under it, the app draws the seats and says, for example, "A group of 8 fits on one booking". When it is less than the boat's seats, it also says "More: they message you".

Customers see

a Seats box with a minus and a plus, where they pick how many seats. At your number, it says, for example, "8 is the most on one booking. For a bigger group, message" and your shop name.

Your OK before it's booked

Choose if this trip waits for your yes: Like the shop, Always or Never. It works the same as on a service. See Make a service bookable and Choose how customers book online.

Customers see

Ask instead of Book on the trip. The button in their sheet says, for example, Ask for 2 seats. You answer their request. See Answer a booking request.

Sizes

A trip can have more than one price, like Visitor and Resident. Add each price as a size, with the Sizes round button. See Add sizes and colours.

Customers see

each size with the price of one seat, like "MVR 450 each". Your shop page shows the lowest price, like "from MVR 300 a seat".

Pays at the boat

This switch is on each size, not in the Booking panel. It shows only for a trip with sizes. With it on, customers pay nothing online for that size. They pay it all at the boat.

1. Tap Sizes in the round buttons. If you renamed your sizes, the button shows your word.
2. Tap the size, like Resident.
3. Tap the Pays at the boat switch.
4. Tap Done. You are back in the list of sizes.
5. Tap Done again.

When it is on, the switch says "Nothing to pay online. The whole price is paid at the boat." The size's line in the list also says "Pays at the boat". When it is off, the size follows the deposit you set in Booking online.

Under the list of sizes, the app says customers who can't send a transfer can then book without paying online, and their seats are still kept for them.

Customers see

"pay at the boat" at the top of their sheet. Under the button, it says "Nothing to pay now. You pay at the boat."

Turn off booking

This grey button is at the bottom of the panel. It works the same as on a service. See Make a service bookable.

On the Services page

Each trip's row shows a grey line with its length and boat, like "3 h 30 · Boat 1".

When customers book

Customers tap Book on your trip. A sheet opens. From top to bottom:

• Your sizes, if the trip has them, like Visitor and Resident.
• Seats: how many seats they want.
• A row of days. A day shows seats free, like "12 free". A day with no trip says "No trips". A day with every seat taken says "Full".
• The departures that day. Each shows the time, when it is back, the boat and its seats. A departure they can pick shows its free seats, like "9 free".
• A button like Hold 2 seats. Under it, the app says, for example, "We keep them 15 minutes while you pay."
