Entering your booking hours is one of the first steps when you set up your Shore account: 1. Click on your **user name** in the top right corner and then on **Company** \> [**Booking Hours**](https://my.shore.com/settings/booking-hours). 2. Adjust the preset booking hours as needed. ![Screenshot 2026-09-02 141228](https://help.shore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-09-02%20141228.png?width=670&height=388&name=Screenshot%202026-09-02%20141228.png) ***Note:** If all your employees have uniform and regular booking hours, it is sufficient to configure the general booking hours to make them available for online booking. If the working hours of individual employees differ from the general booking hours of your business, you must also configure [individual booking hours](https://help.shore.com/en/adding-individual-booking-hours-for-your-employees?hsLang=en) for these employees. If your employee's working hours are very irregular, you can use the [shift plan](https://help.shore.com/en/when-do-i-use-the-shift-plan?hsLang=en) to manage your employees' availability for online bookings.*   -
