    I am trying to set up online booking for an E-Bike Rental company. I have a temporary site up at https://www.dubuqueebikes.com/, but I'm building a new one at https://good4cat.com/.


    Before I buy, as you're probably the 10the booking platform I've tried, I have some questions. 


    If I set up EMPLOYEES as the eBIKES (there are 7) with the services being the time slots/fees offered:

    FRIDAYS, SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS 4 hours – $50 24 hours – $90 48 hours – $170 72 hours – $250 7 days – $350 MONDAYS-THURSDAYS 4 hours – $40 24 hours – $80 48 hours – $150 72 hours – $200

    Will hooking them all to the same Google Calendar work? So, say, for instance, I'm renting the TEAL bike from Noon-4 PM and then I also want to rent the BLUSH bike at the same time, will that be a conflict in the owner's Google calendar, as the TEAL timeslot would already be taken. 


    If it CAN work that way, I'm sold. Also, I watched the best tutorial/review on youtube and would like to give this guy credit, as he said to buy through living.thatltd.life/Amelia, but that didn't take me anywere. Here's the link to his video: 

    Thanks you!

    Hi Cathy!

    Thank you for taking interest in Amelia and for reaching out to ussmile.png

    It's always the best to have all the information before the purchase.

    You can set up employees as e-bikes, however, for the rent time it needs to be fixed so for each period you would need a separate service, and then connect all e-bikes to all services.

    Will hooking them all to the same Google Calendar work? So, say, for instance, I'm renting the TEAL bike from Noon-4 PM and then I also want to rent the BLUSH bike at the same time, will that be a conflict in the owner's Google calendar, as the TEAL timeslot would already be taken. 

    Hooking up all employees to one calendar will have them block eachother out.

    If you rent TEAL for noon - 4 Monday, all other bikes will become unavailable for that same time.

    This is why it's advised to turn off Return Busy Slots - this is the function that will allow Google to see that TEAL is booked and block the BLUSH.

    However, this would not allow you to add anything into Google Calendar that would block time in Amelia.
