Longer sessions
Sometimes one service needs to cover both a short session and a long one. Rather than building "One Hour Portrait" and "Three Hour Portrait" as separate services, you can let clients book several consecutive slots of the same one.
This is a direct booking setting, on the Price & duration tab. Mini sessions run to a fixed slot length by design, and inquiry services have no slots to add up.
How it works
Set your base slot length under Duration, a menu of 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes that defaults to 60. Then turn on Allow longer bookings, "Let clients book multiple time slots." A one-hour base slot with up to four slots allowed lets someone book one, two, three or four hours.
CoreHue only offers a longer booking where the consecutive time is genuinely free, so a client can't book three hours across a gap you're busy in.
Setting the limits
Maximum length is the most a client can book in one go, from 2 slots to 12.
Minimum length is the fewest, from 1 slot up to your maximum. Leave it at 1 for no minimum, or raise it when short bookings aren't worth doing. A minimum of 2 on a one-hour slot means the shortest booking anyone can make is two hours. Lowering the maximum below the minimum pulls the minimum down with it, so the pair always describes a real range.
Pricing by length
Underneath, Pricing by length lists every length from 1 slot up to your maximum.
The first row is your base price and can't be edited here. It is the Price per slot from above. Its switch follows your minimum rather than turning on and off by itself.
Every other row carries a switch, a price, and an Optional label.
The switch takes a length off the menu, so you can sell two, four and six hours without everything in between. Your minimum and maximum are always offered and can't be switched off. Switching a length off keeps its price and label, so switching it back on restores them.
The price is the total for that many slots, not an amount added on. It starts filled in with the straight multiple of your base price, and it follows your base price as you change it. Type your own number and it stops following. From then on it's yours and stays put.
The label is a short note the client sees next to the length, so you can call four slots "Half day" rather than leaving them to work it out.
This is how you offer a half-day or full-day rate that beats the hourly equivalent. That is what most clients booking a long session expect.
What the client sees
A Duration field appears above the calendar on the first step, Schedule. Each option shows the length, with your label beside it when you set one. Picking a longer one narrows the times on offer to those where that whole block is free. A date with nothing long enough says so.
Your booking page lists the service at its shortest bookable length, so a service with a two-slot minimum advertises two hours.
When to use it instead of separate services
Use longer sessions when it's genuinely the same shoot at different lengths, and the client understands it that way.
Use separate services when the offerings differ in substance. A two-hour portrait session and a full wedding day are not the same service at different lengths, even if the arithmetic works.
Remember the Core plan caps you at five published services, so folding variations into one service is also a practical way to stay within it.
