## 1. Link a try-on product

Try-ons are paid through a Shopify product. In **Try-ons**, click **Create Try-On Product**, or link an existing Shopify product. Its variant price is what customers pay, with no separate app fee. The try-on calendar stays hidden until a product is linked.

## 2. Add locations

Under **Try-on locations**, add each showroom or studio. Each location has its own booking rules, hours and blackout dates.

## 3. Set booking rules

- **Enable try-on bookings**: Show the try-on calendar on your storefront.
- **Holiday mode**: Pause all try-on bookings without changing your settings.
- **Try-on location**: The address shown to customers.
- **Appointment duration**: How long each slot lasts.
- **Buffer time**: The gap between back-to-back appointments.
- **Max bookings per slot**: How many customers can book the same time.
- **Booking notice period**: Minimum lead time before a slot can be booked.
- **Booking window**: How far ahead customers can book.
- **Manual booking availability override**: Lets staff-created bookings ignore the notice period, window, hours, blackouts, holiday mode and slot limits.

## 4. Set hours and blackout dates

Under **Weekly availability**, set the start and end time for each day you take appointments. Under **Blackout dates**, block specific dates or ranges. Then click **Save Settings**.

## 5. Add the calendar to your theme

Add the **Try-on Calendar** block to your product template. [Guide](https://thedressrentalapp.com/docs/try-on-block)
