Buffer before appointement and not only between

I need something simple not available in your plugin : I need to have a buffer period before appointements and not only between. For exemple we are monday 22 june 9am, someone is going on my website to book an appointment. I dont want this person book an appointment at 10am, I want only the possibility to book in the afternoon : a 4 hours buffer before the possiblity to book.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    This is already possible in WooCommerce Bookings via the “Minimum block bookable (into the future)” setting on the bookable product, which sets a rolling lead time before the next available block — so a customer landing on the page at 9am cannot book a slot until your configured buffer (e.g. 4 hours) has passed.

    Marking this one as completed. Thanks again!
