I have one employee (me) and several services. When a client goes to book, they end up needing to choose their service from a drop-down list. Can I turn the drop down menu off and instead have it go straight to scheduling?
For example, let's say they are interested in a 60-minute online self-massage lesson. I also have 90-minute lessons as well as offering 30- and 45-minute exercise lessons. Since they are interested in the 60-minute session, I'd like them to be able to click "SCHEDULE NOW" and then takes them directly to the calendar so they can schedule. Instead, it takes them to a drop-down menu first and they might get confused as to why they are being asked to choose what they've already decided on.
I've been using Calendly for over a year now and each event/service is given a unique URL for scheduling (or I can give them a url that lists everything). I can email a client that specific URL and it will only allow them to book THAT service, since that's what they're interested in. Is something like this possible in Amelia or are customers stuck with choosing from the "Please Select a Service" drop-down menu (see attached screenshot)?
I watched the WooCommerce integration video, but it only showed how to setup the integration, not how the integration looks and works, but I'm assuming I might be able to do what I what with the WC integration. I think I'd rather avoid using WooCommerce in my case, if possible, because I'm hoping Amelia can just do all I need it to do.
Thank you for purchasing our product, and for reaching out to us.

1. You can use our catalog shortcodes it looks like this
You can read more about our shortcodes on the following link https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/article/17639/
2. You can put several shortcodes on to your page like this for example
[ameliabooking service=1]
[ameliabooking service=2]
[ameliabooking service=3]
and in that way, it will offer them a calendar right away without the dropdown menu.
You can use both ways it is entirely up to you.
Hope it helps.
If you have any more questions please feel free to open another ticket.
Kind Regards,
