Is it possible to change the titles on the form? For example Employee doesn’t quite fit for my client. Teacher or Chef would be more appropriate. I’m assuming that it needs to stay as Employee but would like a confirmation either way. Thank you.
Hi Conrad, yes, you can modify the titles on the form. Please refer to the example in the Edme theme.
when selecting the square payment field does it take you a different page?
No, the user pays directly through the form on your website. You can check how it works in the demo.
I want customers to be able to select their location from multiple options on the booking form, but the plugin only allows assigning one location to the schedule at a time. I’ve tried creating separate schedules for each location, but I still can’t display all locations for customers to choose from.
Can someone please help me ?
Hi Daniel, When you add/edit the Schedule of the Employee, you can add the same timetables for different locations. For example Monday / 10:00-14:00/ Location #1 then add Monday / 10:00-14:00/ Location #2, and so on.
Hi,
I would love to be able to customize the Trainer selection dropdown, ideally replace with cards for the different people that would have a link to their profiles as well as a select button.
Do you have any recommendations or solutions for this?
Thanks,
Gary
Hi Garry,
The dropdown can not be modified by adding cards of employees with links, images, etc. You can add a list of all employees and add a form with the pre-selected employee to each employee page. Thus the visitor can click on employee image, visit his page, and use the form with the pre-selected employee option.
Hola, realice el pago del plugin pero no recibí la licencia para poder utilizar todo lo que se ofrece. Saludos.
There was a mistake in the email address. We’ve sent a reply in your request. You may check it now.
How do I enable the sidebar pop up when clicking the button to book? Right now I only have a separate page for it
Hi Yasin, This option is available in most of our themes https://motopress.com/products/category/appointment-wordpress-themes/ If you use a third-party theme you can search for a third-party plugin to such a sliding sidebar.
Is it possible to make Phone Number not required? I’m trying to use it in a context which people will use only Name and e-mail address.
Hi Marcos,
You can use this add-on to disable the default fields and add custom ones https://motopress.com/products/appointment-booking-checkout-fields/ You can find more add-ons for the Appointment Booking plugin here https://motopress.com/products/category/appointment-booking-addons/ If you need several add-ons you may contact us to upgrade your active license to the membership subscription https://motopress.com/membership/
Scenario: A company has employees that need to enroll for my services (Gym Activities) so They need to be logged into a page where they can see all the classes available and enroll to any. Can I consider using your plugin for it?
I’m not sure I got the idea correctly but using our plugin the customer should select the Employee before making a reservation. If the customer does not select a specific Employee, it assigns the first in a list automatically. Reservation can not be unassigned.
Feel free to register a demo site and test the plugin capabilities.
Hi there, how can we customise the fields for the customers information in the appointment form? Can we add more fields etc somewhere?
Thanks
