Create Frequent Per Day Mini Sessions

What is a Mini Session Event?

In this article, we will show you how you can frequently repeating per-day mini sessions. A mini-session event is one in which you have lots of times available frequently for customers to book in a given day.

In this example, we will assume that you have:

• Availability on January 31 every 30 minutes from 9am to 4pm.
• Each time can be booked by up to 10 people.
• Each person will pay $40 at the time of booking.

Let's step up this event:

1. After logging into your Occasion account, go to the "Listings" in your top navigational bar and select the "Templates" tab in the top-left corner of your screen. Make sure your screen is fully extended to view these tabs.
2. Once the "Templates" tab is selected, search for the "Mini Session" template.
   Note: If you don't see it, reach out to us at help@getoccasion.com
3. Under "My Templates" tab, click on "Create Listing for the "Mini Session" template.
   

   

4. You'll be prompted to create a schedule. In my example, I will do the following:
