I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin's built-in features.
Each booking session is used for one time slot, and one appointment. When you set up a payment for your service, and the selected time slot is paid, customers would need to go back in to make another appointment for the same service, and then they would be able to pay again.
If you're interested in something like a bulk purchase, I can offer a workaround:
You can create a service which would be named "Bulk Purchase" for example, and it would cost a certain amount. Then, you would need to create a 100% discount coupon which could be used 9 times, and limit the usage to 9 per customer, like this:
My advice would also be to enable the notifications, so they get an e-mail with the discount coupon, explaining that they need to use the coupon for the remaining 9 sessions:
You would need to add the %coupon_1% placeholder to the e-mail, so they get the coupon code they can use.
After someone books the first appointment, they receive an e-mail with it, and they use it to book the remaining 9 sessions.
Please note, though that we are planning on adding recurring payments in the future, I just cannot promise when. We have so many features waiting to be added, that we simply cannot promise any ETAs.
Hi
I just purchased Amelia plugin. Could you let me know to to set recurring payments for bookings?

That's a good idea. The payment will not be collected every month but it's something to think about. Thank you
Hi again wodz82
I'm glad to hear you like the workaround.
Please note, though that we are planning on adding recurring payments in the future, I just cannot promise when. We have so many features waiting to be added, that we simply cannot promise any ETAs.
