OK - spent a few hours looking at WP Amelia, Jet Bookings and Appointments an they don't do what i need.
I will look at Bookly but from reports I'm hearing it is a resource hog.
Anyway: we run a surf school so need a simple solution: 1) user browses website and sees the calendar/list of events we're running. These events are thing like group lessons, where multiple people can turn up and learn to surf. 2) Once they find the session they want based on date and time, they book. 3) One thing we may have is a person booking 3 people in on a single booking. e.g a parent may book in 2 kids, so we need to collect the names of participants 4) Once booked in they pay
its also necessary that multiple clients can make bookings into the same session
e.g Client A books in for the 10.30 group session and then Client B makes a separate booking into the same session as there are engouh spaaces free, but when the spaces run out, no more bookings can be made
I apologize for the later response, as we don't work on weekends.
1) user browses website and sees the calendar/list of events we're running. These events are thing like group lessons, where multiple people can turn up and learn to surf.
Events can be set up in either List view or Calendar view.
2) Once they find the session they want based on date and time, they book. 3) One thing we may have is a person booking 3 people in on a single booking. e.g a parent may book in 2 kids, so we need to collect the names of participants
You can increase the Maximum allowed spots for the one event, and check Allow bringing more persons. You can also add Custom Fields where the booking customer will leave names of people (or kids) attending with them.
4) Once booked in they pay
This is the final booking step; payment can be online with PayPal, Stripe, or WooCommerce payment gateways.
5) e.g Client A books in for the 10.30 group session and then Client B makes a separate booking into the same session as there are engouh spaaces free, but when the spaces run out, no more bookings can be made
Again, if you increase Maximum allowed spots this will be possible

Any ideas
