Troubleshooting Bookings
The MYZO Bookings feature is designed to work reliably, but you may occasionally encounter issues. This guide covers the most common booking problems and provides step-by-step solutions to resolve them.
No Available Times Message
If visitors see a "No available times for the selected date" message, the issue is usually with your availability configuration.
Possible Causes and Solutions
| Cause | Solution |
|---|---|
| Day is disabled | Enable the day in your availability settings |
| Hours not configured | Set start and end times for that day |
| Buffer time too long | Reduce buffer time to allow more slots |
| Day fully booked | No action needed; this is expected behavior |
| Date too soon | Visitor is trying to book within your notice period |
| Date too far ahead | Visitor is trying to book beyond your advance limit |
How to Fix
- Go to Dashboard > Bookings > Settings
- Check your Availability settings for that day
- Verify the day is enabled and has hours configured
- Check your buffer time and minimum notice settings
- Review existing bookings to see if the day is full
Booking Button Not Showing
If the "Book a Time" button does not appear on your public profile, check these requirements.
Requirements Checklist
| Requirement | How to Check |
|---|---|
| Bookings enabled | Dashboard > Bookings > Settings toggle is ON |
| Pro or Business plan | Check your subscription status |
| Appointment types exist | At least one appointment type must be created |
| Profile is public | Your profile must be visible to visitors |
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- Go to Dashboard > Bookings
- Check that the Enable Bookings toggle is ON
- Verify you have at least one appointment type created
- Check your subscription status to confirm you have Pro or Business
- Ensure your profile is set to public in your profile settings
- Refresh your public profile page to see the changes
Double Bookings
MYZO automatically prevents double bookings. The system blocks time slots when they are already booked.
If You Experience Overlapping Bookings
This rare situation may occur if:
- Bookings were made before you updated your availability
- A system delay occurred during simultaneous booking attempts
How to Resolve
- Review all bookings on the conflicting date
- Identify which booking should take priority
- Cancel the conflicting booking
- Contact the affected visitor to reschedule
- If the issue persists, contact support with booking details
Wrong Times Showing
Time-related issues usually involve time zone settings or daylight saving transitions.
Common Time Zone Issues
| Issue | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Your time zone incorrect | Your account time zone may not match your location |
| Visitor time zone difference | Visitors see times in their local time zone |
| Daylight saving transition | Recent time changes can cause temporary confusion |
How to Fix Time Zone Issues
- Go to Settings > Account
- Verify your time zone is set correctly
- Remember that visitors see times in their own time zone
- After daylight saving changes, wait 24 hours for systems to sync
If a visitor reports wrong times:
- Confirm what time zone they are in
- Verify the booking shows correctly in your dashboard
- Check if the issue is a display problem or actual scheduling error
Not Receiving Booking Notifications
If you are not getting email notifications for new bookings, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Email Notification Checklist
- Check spam folder: Email notifications may be filtered as spam
- Verify email address: Confirm your email is correct in account settings
- Add to contacts: Add MYZO notification emails to your contacts
- Check email filters: Ensure you have not created filters blocking notifications
- Allow time for delivery: Notifications may have a short delay
Alternative: Check Dashboard Directly
Even without email notifications, you can view all bookings:
- Go to Dashboard > Bookings
- Review pending bookings that need your attention
- Consider checking the dashboard daily as a backup
Cannot Delete Appointment Type
Deleting an appointment type may be blocked in certain situations.
Why Deletion May Be Blocked
| Reason | Solution |
|---|---|
| Only appointment type | Create another type first, then delete |
| Pending bookings exist | Cancel or complete pending bookings first |
How to Delete an Appointment Type
- Create a new appointment type if this is your only one
- Check for pending bookings using the type you want to delete
- Cancel or complete those bookings
- Return to appointment types and delete
Visitor Cannot Complete Booking
If visitors report problems completing their booking, gather information and troubleshoot.
Information to Collect from Visitor
- Which step in the booking process failed
- What error message they saw (if any)
- What browser and device they are using
- Whether they tried refreshing the page
Troubleshooting Steps
- Ask the visitor to refresh the page and try again
- Suggest they try a different browser
- Check if the time slot is still available (someone else may have booked it)

- Ask the visitor to clear their browser cache
If the Problem Persists
Contact support with:
- The visitor's description of the issue
