I'm looking at different booking options for both events and appointments, trying to see if Amelia will work for us.
Events
Is there a way to specify a particular NUMBER of additional people that can be brought and a different price for the additional people?
For example, I want to add a plus one registration, with the second person paying less (because they will share physical materials).
Appointments
1- We have a venue we rent where we want to allow customers to purchase time, with a minimum of one hour and as many additional hours as they choose (as long as the studio is not already booked) in half hour increments.
Is that possible?
2- We would like to be able to be able to give bulk discounts. For example, a set price for one hour, with each additional half hour at a reduced price.
For example:
1 hour $50
Next 30 minutes: $40
Another 30 minutes $30
Etc.
Is that possible?
Best case scenario, they can choose a start time and an end time and the price will calculate automatically based on our inputs.
I'm afraid, at the moment it's not possible. However, we will add a ticketing feature in the next update or the one after. Now it's only possible to set one price for an Event (and it will remain the same for all attendees).
Appointments
1. Amelia has no features for a rental business, unfortunately, since it was meant to be a plugin for Appointment and Event booking, therefore it's possible to achieve that only with a workaround.
Thus, you can add each venue as a Service, and since a Service can have only one pre-set duration, you can create Extras to allow Customer to add more hours to their booking: for example, you can set Service duration to 1h, and add Extras, each with a duration of 1h as well. By selecting these extras, your Customers will be able to change the Service duration to 2-3-4h.
Please note that Services in Amelia can last only up to 23h 30 mins.
2. Yes, you can set the Service duration to 1h and set the price to let's say $50. And then you can add Extras with a duration of 30mins and a price of $25, so your Customers will be able to book the venue for 1h 30mins for the price of $75.

Thank you for your time.
