No option to pay for booking?
At the moment there is no payment integration, however, our developers are working on this and hope to release an update with the first payment gateways by the end of the current month.
Hi Davis, can you please confirm if the payment integration has been added?
If yes, can you please clarify if there’s an option where the booking can only be completed after they pay for the service in advance?
Can you please also advise if Skype/Microsoft Teams/Zoom links can be sent to clients after booking an appointment?
Hi Daniel, Yes, since the latest releases it is possible to confirm reservations by Stripe and PayPal. You may send static links via notifications.
How can the booking form be stylized like in the demo? I don’t find any options in the settings.
Hi Niklas, Could you please specify what exactly demo you refer to? Could you share your site example to take a closer look at?
Which theme would you suggest me for a single owner-multiple hotels site?
https://motopress.com/products/category/hotel-rental-wordpress-themes/
Hi Fran, It looks like you have commented on the wrong product. I guess you are interested in the Hotel Booking plugin. Do you mean you need your need a website for a single owner who has many various hotels? You may also email us describing your question in more detail.
I don’t see group booking ie. booking for a group lesson? in your demo
I need single and group tutorial booking per time slot.
is that supported?
thanks
Hi Craig, At the moment, it is possible to set a capacity parameter for a service to let the customer book an appointment for a group of people. You may learn how it works by reading this post https://motopress.com/blog/service-capacity-appointment-booking-1-3-1/
currently using your Hotel Booking Plug in and we need to be able to book a private function room. These rentals are for less than a full day… is it possible to set up time slots in the Hotel Booking plug in, or is it possible to use the appointment booking plug in and somehow connect them so the private room rental is included in our daily revenue report.
I am interested in this capability as well. Can the appointment and hotel plugin talk to each other?
Hi Raphael,
Thanks for your question. Both plugins are independent of each other and there is no integration between Hotel and Appointment Bookings.
Hello, is it possible to hide services from the form? I only need a simple appointment form. We only have one service and no employees and would like the user to not have to select those options.
Also does this plugin allow for the creation of custom fields? Not looking to rename existing field, but we need to add 4 custom fields.
Thanks
Hi, The Service field is required and can not be removed from the booking form. There is no possibility to edit the booking confirmation form yet. We will keep your suggestions in mind for further plugin development. Thanks.
I used display CSS property.
.mpa-location-wrapper: display:none;
Hello
very interesting plugin ….
Is the booking data stored directly in the MSQL wordpress database ? Is it also possible to change the times AM / PM to the European time formal 24 hours ?
Are we allowed to use the plugin on multiple websites ?
These points would be very important for us to clarify before we buy the plugin
Hi,
Thanks for your interest in our plugin. Yes, all the booking details are stored in a database. The time format depends on your WordPress configurations so it is possible to change it. You need to purchase an Unlimited license to be able to use the plugin on multiple websites.
Hi Guys does this integrate with Outlook calendar or Google Calendar?
Thanks
Hi James, At the moment there is no possibility to sync events with external calendars. We’ll keep your request in mind though.
i just need service and location. can i remove employees?
Hi, you may hide employees from the booking form http://prntscr.com/17m90gu Feel free to test the plugin capabilities at our live demo https://appointment.getmotopress.com/
Hi,
Are there any ways that i can set the max day for booking?
i.e. User can only book within next 2 months, after 2 months booking is not available. thx
Hi, You may block the days manually only by adding Days Off so you will need to update the blocked dates every day manually.
Thanks for your reply,
however, i want to prevent clients to book the appointment too long (i.e. 3 months later), since there are some uncertainty for the staff that he/she will take leave or day off on the booking date. Thx.
Hi, There is no rule to set how far it is possible to book the service. I’ve added your request to our list of features.
