How we handle BS dates
Your clients plan their days in Bikram Sambat, so that is the calendar they book on. The AD date is always there too, for anyone who needs it.
Real BS months, not converted AD ones.
A BS month can have anywhere from 29 to 32 days, and the lengths change from year to year, so they can't be worked out from the AD calendar with a formula. We use the published BS month lengths, so each month starts on the right day and has the right number of days.
The month grid on a booking page is the BS month, with each day's AD date in small type.
Every date, both ways.
BS dates are written in Nepali, with Devanagari numbers and month and weekday names, and the AD date underneath.
Clients who think in AD can switch with one tap; their device remembers the choice. Switching only changes how the date is shown, never which day is booked.
Emails carry both dates.
Confirmations, reminders and cancellations give the BS date in Nepali, with the AD date in brackets, so the email reads the same way the booking page does.

Questions about dates
Yes. One tap on the booking page puts AD first, and their device remembers it next time. The BS date stays alongside.
