Blocked dates prevent customers from booking certain dates in the date picker. Miko's availability check supports two levels of date blocking:
- Store-wide blocked dates: block dates across your entire store. Useful for public holidays, store closures, or days when you do not process any rentals. Blocked store-wide dates show as unavailable in the date picker for every rental product.
- Per-product blocked dates: block dates for a specific product only. Useful for scheduled maintenance, inspection periods, or a particular item being temporarily unavailable while other items remain bookable.
Customers cannot book a range that includes a blocked date: the date picker tells them the dates are not available.
Where to find it
There is no Blocked Dates menu in the app at the moment. The settings used by the workarounds below are in Apps → Miko Product Rentals → Rental Products.
How to set it up
To close off dates today, use the option that fits:
One unit is out for maintenance
Open the product in Rental Products and lower Units available by one, then click Save settings. Put the number back when the unit returns. This applies to every date, so only do it while the unit is really unavailable.A whole product is unavailable
Click Deactivate on the product. Its booking calendar disappears from the product page until you click Activate again. Existing bookings are kept.Specific dates, store-wide or for one product
Email us the product (or "all products") and the dates, and we will help you close them off.
