1.) All my massage services have multiple times. 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes. So the customer should have the possibility, after choosing a service, to select the appropriate duration. What is the best way to do this?
2.) I have the Google API and Google Calendar assigned to an employee, however I do not see the existing calendar entries in Amelia. Everything is still empty. Is this normal?
3.) Some services can be booked individually, or optionally as a pair. What is the best way to implement this?
1. Amelia can't have a different duration for the same service, so you could create multiple services with different duration (add the duration in the name of the service). Another way would be to create a 30-minute long service and create Extras that would extend the duration of the appointment for a certain price.
2. Existing Google Calendar events cannot be displayed in Amelia, they can only be removed from the employee's schedule if you connect the employee with his/her Google Calendar, and you enable "Remove Google Calendar busy slots" in Amelia Settings/Integrations/Google Calendar.
3. You can increase the maximum capacity of a service to 2, and disable "Allow booking below minimum capacity" in Amelia Settings/Appointment Settings. When you disable this, when one customer books the appointment, the time slot will close, so another customer can't book the same time slot. But, if you enable "Bringing anyone with you" in the service, they can add one more person when they're booking an appointment and again - the time slot will close once they book the appointment.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.
