Note: This article discusses both Blueprint and Availability Planning styles of reservation management.
An Experience is a bookable reservation offering on Tock. Experiences are generally the best option if your offering will be available on a consistent basis, for a prolonged period of time, or has multiple seatings per day. Experiences can be free for guests to book, or can require a deposit, prepayment, or credit card information to book.
