I have a course that starts on a certain date and runs for a series of weeks at the same time and day. Is this something someone could book using this plugin?
Hi Pete, You can set up Custom Working days instead of adding regular schedule. The customer will need to add each time slot to the cart to book the whole series.
The calendar could be synchronized with Google Calendar? Thank you very much.
Hi Noekia, The employees can sync their calendars with Google Calendar.
When booking a meeting room, users should be able to select additional options such as using a projector or air conditioning, with a fixed cost applied for each option. Is it possible?
There is no possibility to add extra options during the checkout at the moment. Thanks for your feedback though.
Hi, I was considering this for my website but I was wondering if this is a one-time fee for a lifetime license or if it would have to be renewed annually at this rate? Thank you!
Hi Jacqueline,
The license is annual. The renewal is paid due in a year after your purchase. If you skip a renewal, you will stop getting updated versions and support. The license expiration does not affect the functionality of the plugin and it can be used further. If you wish to renew the license automatically you can enable this option on the checkout.
If you’re looking for a lifetime one, then I suggest you take a look at our Lifetime Membership: https://motopress.com/membership/
Scenario: Individual person, music teacher. It is only this person, one location, one service/category piano lessons. Is there a way to not have service dropdown and no location dropdown. Just have page/slide out that goes to an immediate booking without doing those selections? Also do you connect in with zoom I have another potential client that does online coaching sessions. Same thing one individual one location but will be using zoom.
Hi Angela, Yes, sure you can preselect the option for each field of the booking form and hide them to display calendar as the first step of the booking process. You may refer to this post to learn more.
I would need to set a custom time step for each service. The default value will solve one service, but for other services I would need to generate a calendar with a different time step.
For example, I have a service that repeats every 20 minutes and another service that will repeat every 60minutes.
Can this be solved somehow through the settings or can you advise me which function I could connect to in WP and create for example an exception for that service and set a different time step?
We are using the plugin for Museum and we are comfortable with your solution and would not like to change the plugin just for this reason.
Default Time Step option can be configured globally for whole site only while service provides an option to set custom duration of each service. The availability is defined by the Schedule that you assign to the employee.
I have a question.
I need a booking option.
This is the scenario;
On tuesday i have 6 available spots and on saturday 6 spots to drop of ski’s and snowboards for maintenance.
I want my customer to be able to select for example; 3 spots where 2 are for ski’s and 1 is for snowboards in one booking. My calendar shows then that there are only 3 spots left for that day.
Is this possible? Thanks in advance
Hi, you can enable the option of reservation of multiple services. Then the customers will be able to book more than 1 timeslot of the same service or another services per single reservation.
The free version of the plugin only allows a duration of 0m, 45m, 1h30m etc. I am looking in buying the plugin, but first do need to know if I will be able to customize the duration according to my specific needs, or are the durations available only those that are displayed on the free version only?
Hi, It depends on the Default Time Step option at Appointment > Settings. You can set 1, 5, 10 minutes, etc. and then you will be able to select any custom duration for the service even in the free version.
Hello,
I’ve 2 questions:
1. Is it possible to book a service with 2 Employees ? For instance, a 4 hands massage with 2 masseuses ?
2. Is there a way that employees can manage their calendar, reservations and appointment though a page on their mobile instead of having to have a wordpress account to connect to the website manager ?
Thanks a lot
Hi Luc,
1. Unfortunately, there is no option to book a service with 2 employees assigned. The customer will need to book 2 services for 2 employees in this case.
2. There is no mobile application for the appointment booking yet. The employees can manage bookings, etc via dashboard of the website only.
Hello from Greece. I want to buy your plugin for one of my customers which have a wordpress website. But my customer wants to send SMS for future appointments 5 days before. I see the twilio plugin and I’m OK with the price. But all these are working in Greece? Thanks in advance!
Hi Michael, Twilio SMS service can be used worldwide. You can check the details for your country on Twilio website.
