I'm a lifetime license user of Amelia. In my business, it is 100% necessary to "pre-select" 30 bookings for every service. This is because my tutors teach courses that are always 30 lessons long.
The customer MUST be able to select 30 lessons. They cannot 29 lessons, 20 lessons, or 5 lessons. It must always be 30 lessons. It needs to look forward to the future, and confirm that every single class is free on that day/time.
To say it in the simplest way: the customer needs to be able to select a tutor, and then book a course with him (30 lessons). Amelia will then book all 30 lessons and send out notifications and block off this time in their Google Calendar.
How can I achieve this? If it's not yet possible, will you please add this simple functionality? This is how I will be able to use Amelia on my BuddyBoss website.
Thank you! And I look forward to hearing from you soon.
In general, it is not possible to book multiple appointments at once with current built-in features in Amelia. But it is on our to-do list for future updates.
However, it can be achieved in two ways.
Option one: is to use Recurring appointments. But it is suitable only if a customer books multiple appointments of the same service. Recurring Appointments are available in all licenses.
Option two: Packages of Services - it 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. You can see more information here.
But what I think would suit you best for this scenario is using Events and simply add all dates when the courses are being held and once the client books it he will have automatically booked all dates added, no need to make any additional bookings for the same event.
