Overview: Blackout Windows

Key Terms

Feature Description

Aspenware Commerce allows resorts to set blackout windows for products to limit when guests can purchase or make changes to purchases using specification attributes. This feature enables resorts to require a set number of days in advance that a product must be booked (e.g. a ski lesson must be booked two days prior to the arrival date.) This feature enables even more specific definition of the blackout window by also allowing configuration of the cut-off time on the advance booking (e.g. a ski lesson must be booked by 3:00 pm two days before the arrival date.)

This functionality supports preventing a guest from adding to cart past the allowed window, and also prevents the scenario where if a guest adds to the cart during a valid time and then leaves the item in the cart past the allowed window they are prevented from checking out past the blackout window.
