    hi, I realise that Amelia is more for clients booking a service such as PT however I was wondering if it is possible to use as a booking system for a caravan rental as well?  I guess the theory would be the same, my only thought is the durations of the rentals, rather than the likes of an hours appointment with a PT it would be a weekend or week long rental, would this work ok?

    Hello Euan,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Our plugin currently supports time slot booking during one day, so if it is just renting of 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 caravans where services are and create an employee for each caravan (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 caravan as a separate employee and create just one service to attach to each caravan. 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 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 by adding numbers like [email protected],[email protected]... )

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


    Kind Regards,
