Hello, the package booking looks very useful for my business type, I just tried the demo from your site and doubted if it meets my need.
For example, all providers offer the same service, but we allow customers to pick one provider as they prefer.
with package functionality, it looks like not possible right? let me go through my workflow
1. we allow customers to buy packages for more savings reasons.
2. then customers get booking credits, they can book with any provider they preferred.
3. with the basic version, I can use shortcode to display booking form focusing on the certain employee, then customers can book timeslot with the person directly, this is what I need. but with package functionality, if I can still achieve this functionality? Custom can use their credits to booking appointment with the certain employee(provider) directly?
To realize my purpose, I am using GamiPress plugin and their points as payment gateway with Woocommerece, but only this use for the eCommerce system, you know Woocommerce is a very big system and very heavyweight. if the package feature can handle this requirement, I can uninstall Woocommerce and really speed up my site, I know MyCred has this integration, but that plugin is not fully compatible with BuddyBoss. it is a big pity.
When you're creating packages, and include Services in the Services tab, you can choose which Employee is going to work on the service within the package.
So, then, you can create a package for each employee, and add a different package for each employee.
I'm not sure what you mean by the credits - is this what you're hoping to achieve with Packages, or integrate with packages?
Unfortunately, at the moment, packages don't work like that. The employee you initially booked will be predefined for all appointments in the future.
The scenario you're describing was already requested by our customers, so I informed our developers a few times already.
I'll forward this to them again, but I'll kindly ask you to add it as a feature suggestion on this page. Features are pushed up on our "to-do" list when there are a lot of customers requesting those features, so having your vote as a customer can be beneficial to this feature being developed sooner.
I just posted my suggestion, hope your team can perform this suggestion as soon as possible so that I will be able to uninstall Woocommerce for this purpose. Thanks!
Adding a simple wallet system instead of current package booking. with a wallet system, user can use credit or points to book appointments with desired provided or employee without making payments for each booking. using Wallet system should be a more flexible solution for the user compared to that packages booking functionality, also, there are some complete open-source in wordperss.org. you can easily integrate with Amelia booking,
At the moment, due to some legal reasons (I don't have any details about this), Amelia as software is not allowed to store customer's funds, nor are we able to hold their payments without actually delivering anything, so having a wallet is not an option at this time.
I forwarded the suggestion to our management, so they can work on it in the future, but I can't say when (or if) it will be included.
