Not your calendar. The times that fit the work.
Price2Book doesn’t publish your schedule and let people pick from it. It works out how long this particular visit will take — including anything added to it — and offers only the arrival windows that can actually hold it.
More work means more time.
The visit’s length is the sum of everything on it — the job they came for and every same-visit addition they accepted. Add work and the appointment grows; the windows on offer change with it.
Answers count too. A question whose answer means a longer run, or a quantity of two instead of one, lengthens the appointment the same way — because the minutes come from the same place the price does.
A window is only offered when the visit can finish inside the working day. Nobody can book a job that would run past the time your crews go home.
How Price2Book decides what to offer.
In this order, every time. The homeowner chooses a time last, which is why nothing has to be reserved or held while they are still deciding what work they want.
The job they came for, plus every same-visit addition they accepted.
Each service’s own minutes, adjusted by the answers they gave and the quantities they chose.
Your arrival windows, filtered to the ones the visit can finish inside — measured against the end of your working day.
Your provider’s calendar, or the concurrent-job capacity you declared. Checked again at checkout, in case the day filled up while they typed.
Keep your scheduling system, or use ours.
One of the two is always authoritative, and Price2Book never guesses which. A contractor who hasn’t said gets an error, not an empty day and not a hopeful one.
What connects todayAvailability reads your real calendar — your crews, your jobs, your time off. Booked work lands back in the system you already run.
If nobody is marked bookable from the website, Price2Book refuses to offer windows at all rather than offering every one of them.
No field-service platform? Tell us how many jobs you can run at once and that is the whole answer, counted against the bookings we already hold.
It assigns nobody and holds no roster. Who goes is still your call — the same way it was before Price2Book existed.
You decide what can be booked.
Which days you work, when crews start and finish, how wide an arrival window you are willing to promise. Windows are generated from those answers — they are not a calendar anyone browses.
Crews start and finish when you say. A 3 hr arrival window is a promise you chose to make, not a default.
Not a full-looking calendar with everything grayed out, and never a window Price2Book cannot honor. If there is nothing to offer, there is nothing to click.
The window is confirmed again the moment they book, because a day can fill while somebody is typing their address.
Checkout turns away a booking whose ZIP code isn’t in the area you selected. An area you haven’t configured takes no bookings rather than all of them.
See the whole path.
Pricing decides what belongs on the visit. Booking decides when that visit can happen. The demonstration runs both, end to end.
