Hey everyone!
With the holiday season upon us, we want to share our upcoming working hours:
- New Year: Our team will be off on January 1st and 2nd. We’ll be back on Friday, January 3rd, to respond to any messages received during this time.
- Weekend: As usual, we don’t work on weekends, so January 4th and 5th will also be non-working days.
- Orthodox Christmas: Our office will be closed on Monday and Tuesday, January 6th and 7th for the holiday.
After that, we’ll return to our regular schedule and assist you as quickly as possible.
In the meantime, you can explore our documentation for Amelia and wpDataTables. You'll find tons of helpful resources, including articles and handy video tutorials on YouTube (Amelia's YouTube Channel and wpDataTables' YouTube Channel), which might just have the answers you need while we’re away.
Thanks a bunch for your understanding and support!
Warm regards and happy holidays!

Can I set discounts and variable rates to define prices for specific days or times in Amelia?
Hello there,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Here is how you can configure having different pricing for specific times of the day for the same service.
A workaround is to create one or more additional duplicate employees, then assign them to the same Service - you can set an individual price per each employee.
Here is an example.
Let's say we wish to rent one playing field for a football recreational time, and it will all be under the same service - but we want any time booked in the morning, from 9 AM until 12 PM to cost 50$ and any time in the afternoon, like from 1 PM until 5 PM to cost 70$.
We solve this by creating a duplicate employee, so we will have employee A and Employee B.
For this, I will just name them "Field 1 Morning" and "Field 2 Afternoon", to recognise them easier.
There is an additional workaround for the duplicate Employee to have the same Name and Email, if needed, if you use Gmail or Outlook Email - this way the same person will get the notifications, etc, we will share that later on;
Now, the work hours. The Employee A will be available only from 9 AM until 12 PM :
In the "Edit Employee", under "Assigned Services", we set that Employee price for the Service to be 50$.
The duplicate Employee B will be available only in the afternoon hours, from 1 PM until 5 PM, if anyone wants to book that time, it is a higher price, 70$.
Optionally, if you wish to remove the employee selection, so the Customer will just see all the available times, and depending on the time of the day they pick, the price will show accordingly.
You can hide the Employee selection in our Customize Settings. Go to the "Service selection" Page, then "Options".
So now, if my Customer picks any morning Time, the price on the payment summary screen shows as 50$, while if they pick an afternoon time, the price is 70$.
Here is the additional workaround if you need to have the same email for multiple employees.
Basically, if you use Google or Outlook for emails, you can put the same email,
just place " +number" before the @ symbol, and you will be able to save employees,
but all emails will go to the same email address.
For example: ' [email protected]', ' [email protected]', ' [email protected] ' etc,
will be different while saving and you will be able to save all employees but all emails will go to the ' [email protected]' address.
Here is an example from my "fake employees", this one I named "Nick Employee", and his duplicate I just added the name "duplicate", but they can actually have exactly the same name ( if needed).
I just added the +1 before the @ symbol.
And that's it, that is the workaround how you can make duplicate Employees to present different times for different prices on the same Service.
This is the only way at this time to achieve what you need.
Should you have any further inquiries, we kindly request that you open separate tickets for each question and we will gladly help you there.
We wish you all the best and hope you have a wonderful day ahead.
Kind Regards,

Very well, I have set up 2 employees as you instructed, but now I have these two issues:
To clarify, I have, for example, a boat that from Monday to Thursday has a $100 discount for any of the 3 options (4, 6, or 8 hours). From Friday to Sunday, all 3 options have the regular price without discounts. On special dates, such as December 24, December 31, and July 4, all 3 options should have an 80% increase in the rate. Is it possible to configure this to work well with Amelia?

thanks, Does Amelia allow adding an additional tip amount for gratuity? I also need to specify a value in the payment details that the client must pay at the time of boarding the boat, but that is already included in the total price?
Hello again,
When you have several questions or issues please open a new ticket, and we will help you there. In that way, issues and questions that are related to different subjects will be in separate tickets so other customers or our support agents can find them easily.
Our policy is to have one issue or question per ticket because of the reasons that are described already.
Thank you for understanding.
