I am setting up my therapy site. I am the single therapist and will be offing two locations. Can you please tell me how I can have clients choose the location that most suits them, with only one employee (me)?
As you know, assigning one employee to multiple locations is not possible. But you can create multiple employees (in your case it's 2), one for each location.
Amelia has a limitation that doesn't allow creating employees with the same email address. The workaround I can offer you is to add +1, +2, +3 to the duplicate employee's email address, for example, [email protected], scott+1@gmail com, etc. Not sure if it works with all the mail services, but it does work with Google.
Then you will be able to create duplicate services for each location for the same time slots. I assumed that's how you want it to work. To avoid overbooking, you can connect both employees to the same Google calendar, so once an appointment is booked on Monday 3 pm at Location A, it will be unavailable for booking at Location B.
Also, you can use separate booking forms for each of the locations with the shortcodes:
[ameliabooking location=1]
[ameliabooking location=2]
This way, your customers would see only the services for those locations.
You can even create a page leading to the two booking forms, for example with a couple of buttons:
The page referenced in this screenshot is for [ameliabooking location=1]:
Hi Guys,

Thank you for your time.
Kind regards Scott
Hi, Scott!
Sorry for the delayed response.
And thank you for choosing Amelia!

And you can do the same for the second location.
Hope that will help.
