I manage 8 dance studio spaces which are rented out for various uses. I currently am using a Wordpress plugin Bookly but I'm looking for something a bit more front-end user friendly for my clients.
Simple availability calendar for all studios from the client side is a MUST, and must be both mobile/desktop friendly. I would prefer clients to view all 8 spaces on one calendar? Similar to the admin panel as shown below if possible?
MUST HAVES:-
The studios are different sizes therefore are different costs per hour and we also have peak times which incur a surcharge. Our minimum time is 1hr and then we offer in increments of 30 minutes, ie 1hr30, 2hr, 2hr30 etc
I am looking for a system with an ability to price hourly rentals (studio is rented in minimum or 1hr increments, at the moment for up to 4hr blocks)
- Needs to have the function to offer repeat bookings for customer, ie if they want to book 6-7pm in Studio 1 for 6 weeks
- Cart styled checkout so multiple timeslots can be booked and paid in one final transaction
- Ability to setup coupon codes/discounts for either set dollar amount or percentage.
- Client Login to keep track of all their appointments, ability to move/cancel appointments if outside our 48hr change/cancellation policy
- Automated email invoice to client upon cart checkout, bonus if it can integrate into their calendar also
- Secure payment upfront at time of booking
- Terms & Conditions tickbox/Online Waiver prior to payment
DESIRABLES
Option to sell Half Day/Full Day/Weekly hire discount blocks.
For example (1hr studio rental is normally $55/hr for Studio 1, if someone wants it for a full day they can book online for say 8am-6pm for $300.
Option for VIP members to be set up to book for up to 1 year in advance but pay on a month to month basis for their calendar times (1month in advance) - Preferred if available?
I am wondering if you have any plugin or software recommendations which would be suitable for this as most I have checked that are similar to Bookly do not offer the must have's. I am ok if a product can be customised to suit the business needs but I'm wanting to avoid the typical Dance Studio Softwares which care high monthly rates as I don't take class payments and bookings it is just a scheduler for the room rental.
I appreciate any advice and willing to answer any further questions for help to find a good solution on +61416 052 742,
Thank you for purchasing Amelia, and for reaching out to us.
We will try to answer all of your questions. There is a lot of them so please forgive us if we miss some of them because we have a one-question per ticket policy.
Our calendar is pretty user-friendly Amelia is specifically designed in that way. And we have a different view for desktop, mobile, and tablet. We have calendar options we suggest that you take a look at our demos you can see there how the calendar look and also how it looks when you switch on mobile or tablet.
Regarding the must-haves you ask for a couple of things: packages, coupons, recurring appointments, customer panel and customization.
1. We have coupons that allows you to create promotions to offer customers discounted prices for their appointment/events by a percentage or cash discount. Coupons can be exported to a CSV file by clicking on the “Export” button. You can read more about them here.
3. Customer panel: Front-end Customer Panel allows you to offer your customers an easy way to track, reschedule and/or cancel their appointments and events. In the Customer Panel, customers can manage their personal details without logging into the WordPress backend.
5. Packages of Services is the only feature that is not included in the Basic license, the rest of the features are absolutely identical. Packages of Services is a feature that allows creating packages of multiple appointments (of the same or different services). In that case, the services that are included in the package and the number of appointments will be fixed, and the price will be set for the whole package. Customers will be able to book included Appointments on any days, with no strict recurrence. You can see more information here.
