# Seats left: what customers see about how full a trip is

> Choose whether your booking page, trip calendar and website show how many seats are left.

Checked 9 November 2026 · https://docs.seascape.bz/reservations/seats-left

Go to **Settings** → **Booking rules** → **Seats left** and pick one:

- **Always**: every trip with room says how many seats are left, like "9 seats left".
- **Only when few are left**: the number appears once a trip is nearly full, like "Only 2 left". Until then, customers see the date. Set the number under **Show it at**: at 6, a trip with 6 or fewer seats left shows it. A new shop starts here.
- **Never**: customers see dates, never a number.

Choosing an option saves straight away. The number saves with the **Save** button in the bar at the top.

A shop that was already taking bookings before this setting starts on **Always**. Your booking page's dates and your trip calendar show the number as they did before, now worded "9 seats left". Three things are new under **Always**: the booking page's itinerary step shows the number on every trip (before, only at 4 or fewer), and on your Seascape website the **Upcoming departures** section and the **Activities** cards show it too. Choose another option if you'd rather they didn't.

One setting covers your booking page's dates and its itinerary, your trip calendar, your check-in page, and two sections of your Seascape website: **Upcoming departures**, and the next date on each **Activities** card, like "Next: Wed 11 Nov · Only 2 left". To hide a card's date, and the number with it, untick **Show the next date** in that section. The fill bar and "Filling up" or "Almost full" on the booking page show only when the number does.

A full trip says **Full** whichever you choose, and still offers **Join Waitlist**. Hiding the number never hides the limit: someone booking 4 people onto a trip with 3 seats left is still stopped, and is told that date has no room for that many, without the number. Your team sees the number when it is the one booking.

A waitlist offer link follows it too: when someone opens an offer and the trip has room, but not for their whole group, they are told so, with the number only if you show it.

Your team always sees the real number, on Trips, Manifests and Point of Sale.

The preview under the options shows your next trips the way your website shows them, with what your team sees beside each.
