hi there, i wanted to ask some questions before purchasing amelia plugin
sorry but i have not gone through the demo very briefly and spend time know all features, im already using easy appointments and just wanted to know if amelia can do the things that i want and currently cant do with easy appointments
some background: i want to take bookings for our hair salon
1. can i select multiple services while making a appointment? (like haircut, hair color, etc)
2. can a customer book 2 or more seats (slots) at our salon in case they are coming with a partner or friends?
we need this because we have limited seats at salon we only need to take bookings for seats which are available. so by letting customers multiple seats like in a cinema, we can show next person trying to book seat exactly how many seats are available.
1. Unfortunately, at the moment we don't have a bulk purchase option. We're looking into adding that as a feature, but until then I can offer a work-around.
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.
Our dev team is currently developing the "Packages" option, so this will be possible in the next month or two.
2. Yes, you can enable "Bringing anyone with you" option:
