Turning Off Alternate Time Zones

How to Prevent Users From Making Appointments in Time Zones Other Than the Business's Time Zone:


If you have a client whose business is near a time zone border (or maybe the business is in a popular tourist town that receives customers from other time zones) you may want to prevent people from being able to book appointments in their own time zones. 

Most businesses, especially ones without a physical location, will want to keep the contact time zone turned on and not follow the steps in this article.


To Prevent People From Being Able to Book Appointments in Their Own Time Zones:



Click on Settings > Select the Business Info tab > Scroll down and activate the "Disable Contact Time zone" checkbox.

Disable Contact Timezone Checkbox



With the "Disable Contact Time zone" box selected, users will no longer see the time zone dropdown selector in the calendar widget (see screenshot below), and all appointments will be made in whatever time zone is set within the location settings.


To see which timezone the location is set to please head into Settings > Business Info> Business Physical Address > Time Zone field.

Timezone for business.
