Invite-Only Periods for Space Pages

How Hosts can restrict booking access during specific date ranges using a unique password

This article is for Hosts who need to restrict booking access to a Space during high-demand or special periods without completely blocking out availability on the calendar.

Invite-Only Periods allow you to password-protect booking dates on your public Space page. While manual bookings work well for blocking availability entirely, invite-only rules let you reserve dates for specific Hirers or restrict bookings during high-demand periods (for example, limiting peak holiday slots to local residents).

 

How to Set Up an Invite-Only Period

    1. Go to Spaces Management in your dashboard and select the space you wish to edit.
    2. Click Nitty Gritty and locate Invite Only Period.

    3. Configure the following settings:

      • Password: Set a unique password required to unlock booking access.
      • Reason: Enter the reason for the restriction.
      • Start Date & End Date: Define the restricted date range.
      • Expiration Date: Set an optional date when the rule automatically expires.
    4. Click Update.

    When enabled, a prompt displays on your Space page asking Hirers to input the password when attempting to create a booking during that period.

    Example:

    Note: Invite-Only Periods apply only to Casual Bookings on the public Space page. They do not affect Regular Bookings.

    High-Demand Releases

    If you manage popular Spaces that open for public booking at a specific time or date, set an expiration date on your Invite-Only Period to automatically release the dates to the general public.
