We wish to start selling group sessions on our Amelia-based website. The idea would be to allow up to 8 participants for a fixed tarif / participant, on a given date. It seems that through Amelia, we could set this up in 2 different manners :
1. create an Amelia "Event"
2. create an Amelia "Service" and allow up to 8 participants
=> what's the best way to do it? What are the impacts of option 1. vs option 2. (and vice versa)? Thanks for your clarifications. Regards. Pierre (and Marina)
Both options are equally good, it just depends on what you prefer.
If you go with the Event, you can choose how far ahead the event can be booked, and when it will close. If you go for a Service, you set the maximum capacity, enable "Allow booking below minimum capacity" and disable "Allow booking above maximum capacity" in Appointment settings, and your customers would be able to book the service until the max capacity is reached.
Thanks Aleksander. That's clear. We've tried both but it seems that, by creating it through a "Service" mode, we can not set up a specific date and time for the event. Apparently the whole calendar is open for booking.
Whereas what we need is to open a specific data and time for a workshop, and allow all participants to book only for this specific data and time. I guess I'm doing something wrong, but can't seem to find what. Is there any specific set up to do ?
On the "Event" mode, it seems to work just fine though

Hello Pierre

If you go with the Event, you can choose how far ahead the event can be booked, and when it will close. If you go for a Service, you set the maximum capacity, enable "Allow booking below minimum capacity" and disable "Allow booking above maximum capacity" in Appointment settings, and your customers would be able to book the service until the max capacity is reached.

Hello again Marina and Pierre
The availability of services is defined by the availability of the employees assigned to that service.
So, to make the service available only on certain dates, you need to access your employee's profile, remove his working hours and add Special Days.

Perfect, it's now all very clear. Thanks.
I believe for our use case, the "Event" mode is more appropriate. Problem solved. Many thanks
Glad I could be of service, Marina
