I checked out your demo site and I think the answer to my question is no. But otherwise Amelia looks great so double checking...
Someone on my site might buy four lessons. When they go to 'book' they should be able to book say, one lesson on Monday, one on the Friday and the other two whenever they like from the date picker. It seems Amelia only allows booking of one slot at a time. Is that right?
Sorry for the delayed response, we don't work on weekends.
And thank you for your interest in Amelia.
Unfortunately, you're right. At the moment it's impossible to book multiple appointments at once. But we are working on it, so this feature will be implemented in one of the future updates since it was requested so many times.
There's one workaround named Packages. They were created to give you the option to add Packages of multiple appointments from the same or different services and give a discount to the total price (if needed). You can find more information about Packages here. Please note that Packages are only available for Pro and Developer licenses.
We would be glad to answer any other questions you may have.
I cannot use your workaround I’m afraid but I would much prefer to use a wordpress plugin than Acuity Scheduling (seems to be the only option for multiple bookings).
I'm interested in this as well. I am also wondering if when someone is booking a time slot if the could also book the time slot that follows. This is for a golf simulator business. They have 4 simulator rooms and offer one hour sessions but a customer sometimes want to book for 2 hrs. It would also be helpful for them to see what rooms are available at the same time they are looking at placing their booking
At the moment it's only possible to add an Extra to each Service, so if you create and "1 Extra hour", your customers will be able to select this Extra, and then the total duration of the Service will be the original duration +1h.
"It would also be helpful for them to see what rooms are available at the same time they are looking at placing their booking" - Unfortunately, it is not possible with the built-in features at the moment as well. Amelia was created as a plugin for appointment booking, but now we see that our customers require venue/room bookings quite often as well. So we took it into consideration and will be working on it in the future.
If you have any other questions, please let us know.

Do you have any idea when it may be implemented?

Hi, Simon!
I can't tell you precisely, since due to the current situation in the world, most of our plans were postponed.
But it's one of the most required features, so I believe it will happen as soon as possible.
If you want, we can contact you once the feature is implemented. For that, I will need your email address.
Best Regards.
