Use service windows for booking windows

Check if the time slots on the booking form should be set to the same as the service period.

The service period is the time it takes for the service, so if you use the service period in the reservation slot, for example, if the service is a 60-minute course service, if the service period is turned on, customers can make reservations at 10:00, 11:00, and 12:00.
