Introduction
Welcome to the General Settings section of our OnAppoint plugin. Here, you can configure various options to tailor your appointment scheduling system to your specific needs. These settings help you manage default time slots, service duration, booking and cancellation restrictions, and more.

For example, if you select 5 minutes as the default time slot step and your service duration is 10 minutes, then the time slots are divided like
09:00 TO 09:10, 09:15 TO 09:25, etc. (booking after every 5-minute gap).
Default Service Duration
