Add ability for buffer time before and after bookings to be determined by customers chosen shipping method.
This is a must for physical rental products that are shipped! The shipping method directly impacts the buffer time because it dictates how long it will take for the product to shipped to customer and back again before it’s available again.

Hi there,
Thanks for the suggestion.
This one is a structural mismatch: a bookable product’s duration and buffer are configured ahead of time on the product itself, while the shipping method is chosen by the customer at checkout. By the time a shipping method is known, the booking slot (including its buffer) has already been committed to the cart and the affected dates are reserved. Recomputing the buffer post-hoc would mean retroactively shifting an already-booked slot, which would break inventory and conflict with other customers’ bookings.
Closing this one out. Thanks again for sharing!
