Overview
Aspenware commerce has the ability to link to a specific date on the product detail page, but unfortunately not on the calendar page without the following workaround. The setting that controls which month is defaulted in the calendar view is a store-wide setting called seasonsettings.startdate, but unfortunately, if you set this season start date to November, you will block guest from being able to buy summer products, because it is essentially setting the earliest available purchase date. Until this is better supported in the product, there are a couple of workarounds available, depending on whether the specific product uses a calendar view or not.
1. Product NOT Configured with a Date Picker
