Reserving a spot lets you hold a specific time for a client so no one else can book it. This is perfect when someone DMs you, pays you in cash/Venmo, or you want to give a VIP first dibs.
Reserve a spot
- Go to Sessions and open your mini session.
- On the mini overview page, find the time slot you want to hold.
- Click the time slot.
- Click Reserve.
You’ll see a “Reserve this spot” panel (like in your screenshot).
Optional: add details to the reservation
In the reservation panel you can:
- Add a reservation note
This is only visible to you. Use it for “paid Venmo,” “VIP client,” “said she will pay tonight,” etc. - Apply a discount
If you want to give that person a special price, choose a discount from the dropdown. The client will see the discounted price when they book through the reserved link. - Collect payment outside of Session
Toggle Collect payment outside of Session if you’ve already been paid (cash, Venmo, other) and just want to hold the spot. This keeps your Session booking clean for that specific spot.
- Click Confirm reservation.
After you confirm, that spot is no longer bookable from your public booking page.
Share the reserved link
Once reserved, Session gives you a unique link for that exact spot. Send that link to your client so they can complete the booking (sign contract, answer questionnaire, etc.).
Release a spot
If the person doesn’t book, click the spot again and unreserve it. It will go back to being available.
Notes
- You can reserve before or after you publish the mini.
- You can reserve and make other spots Premium on the same mini.
- Discounts and “collect outside of Session” apply only to that reserved spot.
