The Settings in DoubleScale Booking tab help you manage the core setup of your booking system. Here, you’ll find essential options like admin email preferences, payment settings, email templates, and theme customization. You can also define default behaviors for new bookings.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to configure your Settings and explore the different options available under the General Settings tab.

General Settings

Go to the Settings tab from Booking in your DoubleScale dashboard. This will take you to the Settings page.

In the General Settings section, you’ll find key options to help you manage how your bookings work. Here’s what you can configure:

Booking & Calendar Defaults

  • Calendar Start From: Choose which day of the week your calendar view should start with (e.g., Sunday or Monday).
  • Default Time Format: Select your preferred time format, either 12-hour (AM/PM) or 24-hour clock.
  • Mark Booking as Cancelled Automatically After: If a booking isn’t confirmed (e.g., unpaid or not manually approved) within a set time, it will be automatically marked as cancelled.
  • Mark Booking as Completed Automatically After: Automatically mark bookings as completed after a certain amount of time has passed since the scheduled appointment.
  • Default Country for Phone Field: Set a default country code (like +1 for the United States) in the phone number field to help users fill in their number easily.
  • Summary Email: Get automated booking summary emails on a daily or selected weekday, depending on your settings. This keeps you up-to-date with your latest bookings.

Payment Settings

If you’d like to accept payments for your booking events, Choose Currency

you’ll see a dropdown menu where you can select the currency you’d like to use to accept payments.
