Porter makes it easy to manage bookings when you're working at a guest spot or traveling for a convention. By adding a guest spot, Porter will automatically update your booking flow to reflect where you’ll be and when — so clients only see the right dates and locations when scheduling.
🌍 How Guest Spots Work
Once you’ve scheduled a guest spot:
Clients booking you through your intake form will be asked which location they want to schedule with — your primary location or one of your guest spots
The intake form will show the studio/location name, city, and the dates you’re available
Porter will automatically:
Limit booking availability to only the specific days you're at that guest spot
Exclude those dates from your availability at your primary location
✏️ How to Add a Guest Spot
Open the Porter mobile app
Go to Profile > Availability > Trips & Guest Spots
Tap “Schedule a Trip”
Step 1: Enter the Location
Search for an existing location to autofill the address
Or enter it manually:
Only City, State, and Zip Code are required
For best results, include the studio name and full address
Step 2: Set Trip Dates
Select the first and last day you’ll be available for appointments
For example, selecting July 14–21 will allow bookings on those exact days and everything in between
Step 3: Set Availability & Timezone
Confirm the correct time zone (this should match the city you’re visiting)
Set your available hours for each day of the trip
Step 4: Decide If You Want Books Open
Turn Books Open ON to allow clients to start booking now
If you want to wait before accepting requests, turn Books Open OFF — you can turn it back on later when you’re ready
With Porter’s guest spot tools, managing your calendar across multiple locations is easy — and your clients always see exactly when and where you’re available.
