Using Amelia for property rental
Closed

    Hi,

    Is it possible to use Amelia to book dates for a property rental? Similar to AirBnB.
    Displaying an inline calendar field and block some dates?
    Set dates as unavailable because they are already booked from other platforms.
    Is it also possible to set a minimum and maximum days per booking?

    Thank you,

    Hello Duarte,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Our plugin currently supports time slot booking during one day, so if it is just renting co-working space for a couple of hours a day, then it is possible to use our plugin for this. If, however you need multi-day booking then you should check out our new feature Events.

    You can either create rooms where services are and create employees for each room (a different one, so they can be bookable at the same time) and hide the employee selection with a simple CSS (we will explain later on ) or you can create each room as a separate employee and create just one service to attach to each room. Just so you know each employee needs to have an email, so if you don't need a separate email for each you can create with Gmail or outlook the same email with +number, and they will be seen as a different one (a would later explain you this in more details, but you should know that you need to use Gmail or Outlook).

    If your employee email address is [email protected] you can make more employees with the same email adding numbers like [email protected],[email protected]... )

    And then you can use ameliabooking shortcode and on the front-end, you can hide with CSS  dropdown with Employees.

    You can use this CSS rule on the page between style tags where you will hide the Employee dropdown:

    <style>
    .am-select-employee-option {    display: none;
    }
    </style>

    If you create just one employee and rooms as services, that means that rooms will not be bookable at the same time, since there is just one employee that is working (one employee/rooms one working hours - multiple employees/rooms multiple working hours). That is the reason why I offer you two other workarounds: rooms as services but with several employees hidden from the front-end, or rooms as employees with one service.

    Hello Sharon,

    Thank you for reaching back out to us.

    Custom code needs to be applied to the page where the booking form is. Depending on what you're using (Gutenberg blocks, or some page builder), adding the CSS or JS can be done in a few different ways. 

    If you need help with adding custom CSS to the page, please take a look at this article.
