Coworks allows you to easily monetize your conference rooms, meeting rooms, and equipment to non-members for additional revenue. We also offer the ability to set the minimum duration for these bookings. This can be helpful for making additional revenue as you can require customers to book for a minimum amount of time, creating a more lucrative reservation.

First, make sure you follow the directions here to get your rooms set up properly.

Great! Now let's change the settings.

How to set the minimum duration for external bookings

  1. Click the Settings gear in the top right corner of the admin dashboard.


  2. Select the "External Bookings" option on the left.

  3. Click "Edit," and enter your desired minimum duration in the "Minimum Booking Duration in minutes" field.
    ​​

  4. Test this by going to the Rooms tab and clicking on a "Public" link (the eyeball) for external bookings.
    ​​

  5. When a customer tries to book for less time than the minimum duration required, Coworks prevents them from completing the booking.

    When the customer adjusts to meet your minimum requirement, the payment will go through!

Happy Coworking!
