Customers cannot book multiple services at the same time. It is necessary and basic function of a booking form to be able to book multiple services at the same time.
Could you please remove the block so that customers can book multiple services for the same hour? Otherwise, the cart function is useless.
Attached are images of our booking form for batting cage rentals. A customer can rent Cages 1-4 for 12pm, but cannot book Cage 5 (a separate service) for 12pm and can only book other times. I do not want to use the "Extra" feature to make them the same service either, I want Cages 1-4 to be one service, and Cage 5 to be another. That way we can sell packages for each service.
If I change the booking of Cages 1-4 to 1pm, then Cage 5 shows available at 12pm again and vice versa. Clients need to be able to book them at the same time. This is a critical feature.
We completely understand that this is a critical feature for your line of work. However, unfortunately, what you are requesting is not possible. Our cart feature is designed to be highly functional and meets the needs of almost 80% - 90% of businesses worldwide.
The vast majority of businesses—well over 80% do not allow double booking, as it would cause scheduling conflicts. Given this, we are unable to modify how this works, as it would create issues for the majority of our clients whose businesses rely on preventing double bookings.
We truly appreciate your understanding. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out in a new ticekt, and we’ll be happy to assist you.
We wish you all the best and hope you have a wonderful day ahead.
Why can't you add an option for this? There are dozens of requests on the support forum for this as well, so some of your clients clearly need this feature.
Create an option to toggle on or off, doesn't seem like a major change. Let the toggle (just like all of the other settings in the backend) either allow or disallow double bookings.
It's not even a "double" booking if the client has multiple people. For example, an organization wants to rent out our entire facility, they should be able to rent every part of our facility at the same time so that their entire team can use the space. Not everyone is a single person, sometimes it is a team or a group that needs multiple services at once.
Thank you for your suggestion. However, implementing this is not as simple as it may seem. It would require a significant change in Amelia’s core logic, not just the addition of a new option. This would essentially mean creating a dual logic system where the plugin's functionality would change depending on whether this feature is enabled or not. Such a change represents a major development project.
The logic of the plugin cannot be altered based on a few dozen votes, especially considering that we have numerous other suggestions with several hundred or even close to a thousand votes. These suggestions naturally take priority because they reflect a much higher demand in the market, and our development efforts must align with the needs of the majority of users.
As we previously mentioned, the prioritization of feature development is greatly influenced by the number of customer requests received. By participating and expressing your support, you contribute significantly to the potential expedited implementation of this feature.
Should you have any further inquiries, we kindly request that you open separate tickets for each question, and we will gladly assist you.
