Allow selecting multiple time slots#37

that was nice :)

Would it be possible to create a feature that selects multiple time slots

Please, add multiple slots in different days

That would be nice

This is crucial for many different use cases. Whenever booking is not tied to an employee, but to an amount of ‘devices’ or ‘objects’, you need to be able to book this object for more than one slot, but not block the employee for the longest duration.

Hi, thank you for your suggestions and votes, we really appreciate them. We have a few questions regarding this feature, and your answers will help us better understand the work involved and provide the best solution possible:

1. Are the time slots tied to a single service, or could they involve multiple services?
2. Do you expect customers to be able to book separate time slots on the same day, as well as on different days, or would you also like the option to chain them together?
3. Are you using packages, recurring bookings, or the cart feature, and do you expect this new functionality to integrate with those features or work independently?
   Regarding chained time slots for the same service, have you considered using our option to define different service durations and prices, allowing customers to choose their preferred duration? This can accommodate scenarios where a customer might need the same service for extended hours on the same day.

Thanks in advance!

@Isidora.markovic We want to book multiple services for the same client from the backend and not have to repeat one appointment after another. All of that is too tedious. Many clients have several services done on the same day and in a row.

@Isidora.markovic Another case would be when we have a service that lasts a whole day and we want several days of the same service selected in a single appointment. This makes the plugin more flexible for more service areas, such as rentals.

This would be ideal for a cafe table booking for example, if a customer selects a time block we dont want that time slot be off because more customres can make a reservarion for the same time period, we have more than 1 table.

Rather than services, customers can book resources like a table or a room. In this case the customer can book multiple slots in a row, as much as he wants: like reserve a room from 1PM to 5PM and the calendar is set with 30 minutes slots. In a slot configured agenda, this should be really basic behavior to choose by on/off in backend settings.

Dear all,

(Sorry but this is still not the notification that the feature has been delivered) 🥲

Many of you wanted to hear more regular and summarized feedback about what we are working on. That makes total sense, and we hear you!

We have prepared a post summarizing our work from the past year and current developments:

https://wpamelia.com/year-2024-in-review/

We plan to make our communication with you more regular. Post + newsletter + a small notification in the plugin itself seem appropriate, but let us know if you prefer a different channel.

Also, we are looking for volunteers to help us in some areas (more information in the post).

Thank you, and hope you like it,

Alexander

I’d liek a feature where the user can select a timeframe such as they want to book an office but they want to book it from Monday to Friday without having to do indvidual bookings. So they can select multiple days/times.

This is a key feature for me! I’m on my 5th plugin testing and paying for them and the even though other plugins have the “select multiple time slots” option they lack on other features like events and appointments that Amelia has. So please get this feature included soon!!!

For my purpose I need it for room booking. So a “service+emplyee” (room) is chosen and the customer should be able to just click for example as many 30 min slots as they want to book that same service+employee (room) from 2-6pm on one specific date.

Also would be nice if this feature can be extended for selecting multiple whole days. Let’s say I want to rent something (a room or equipment) for 3 days, then I can select 3 days in the calendar. The service is then set to “whole days” as time slots.

Any update when this will be included as a feature?

Any update on this?
