Hello Zach,

Thank you for reaching out. Congratulations on acquiring your private swim business and embarking on rebranding and building a new website. Amelia could indeed fit your needs, especially with its flexibility in booking and payment options.

To address your specific requirements:

1. Packages: Currently, Amelia does not support automatically locked packages where a customer selects a day and time for the entire duration of the package. Each appointment from a package must be booked separately by the customer.
2. Booking Flow: You can set up Amelia to allow customers to choose the location first, then the service, and finally the date, without giving them the option to select the instructor.

This setup should suit your swim set bookings and streamline the process for your customers.

If you have any further questions or need more details, please let us know. We aim to have everything ready by June 30th. Looking forward to helping you set this up!

Hello Zach,

Amelia does not have a built-in feature to directly support booking a series of recurring appointments in the manner you described, where a customer chooses a location, day, and time for a full 12-week session. However, here are a few potential workarounds:

1. Packages Feature: You can use the packages feature in Amelia to create a package that includes 12 sessions. However, customers would need to book each session individually within the package, which may not be as seamless as you need.
2. Recurring Appointments: Although Amelia supports recurring appointments, they typically require the customer to book each session in a series. This might be a bit cumbersome if you want to ensure they book the exact same time slot each week for 12 weeks.
3. Custom Development: For a fully seamless experience, you might need some custom development to extend Amelia's functionality. This could involve creating a custom booking form that collects the location, day, and time preferences, and then automatically books the customer for all 12 sessions in the specified time slot.
4. Manual Booking: Another approach could be manually handling the bookings. Customers could submit their preferred schedule via a form, and then you or your staff could manually set up the recurring appointments in Amelia.

While Amelia offers many robust features, the specific requirement to book a fixed schedule over multiple weeks with a single booking action is currently not fully supported. If you have further questions or need assistance exploring these options, please let us know.
