view-only availability calendar

For our workflow, a view-only availability calendar would be extremely helpful. Since we now sell packages first and customers book their appointment afterwards via the redemption link, many customers want to see whether appointments are generally available before purchasing. What would help us a lot is a calendar widget that can be embedded on a page purely for informational purposes, without allowing customers to complete a booking. Ideally, the widget could work like this: It shows available time slots. It does not allow bookings directly from the widget. It can display availability across multiple calendars that belong to the same location or service (for example all calendars related to one studio or one type of appointment). This way customers could see that appointments are available (for example which days or time ranges still have open slots), but they would still need to purchase a package first and then book through the redemption link. Since this feature would be very valuable for our setup, I wanted to ask two things: Is something like this already possible in a way we might have overlooked? If not, would it be possible for your team to implement something like this for us? If it would require custom development, could you let us know what the estimated cost would be? We would be very interested in using such a feature and would be happy to help test it if needed. Thank you again for your support.

Response from the team

The embedded calendar now shows every available time for a day, not just the first one. Click any day and the picker lists all of that day's remaining times, and days with nothing left read as sold out, so customers can see what is open across the events you include before they commit to buying a package. One part of your request is not built: the calendar is still a booking widget, so a customer who opens a day can go on to book from it. There is no setting yet to show availability with booking turned off. It is live on whichever storefront page carries the Easy Appointment Booking multi-event calendar block.
