Group Bookings custom feature

Group bookings is useful when you need your customers to be able to book appointment or reservation for many individuals at the same time. This Custom Feature creates a selection menu with the number of participants in the group. With this Custom Feature you can also use payment custom feature at the same time so that the total payment for all participants will be paid in one payment at time of check-out even though only the group leader/organizer is registered. If you are using Products for Sale or Service Add-Ons features, number of items will also be multiplied to the number of participants selected.

How to use

1. Make sure that the Service provider is set able to accept X many clients at same time(or more depending on your needs). For this go Manage//Service Providers//select necessary provider//Service provider details//How many clients can this provider serve at same time? and set the X number of clients.

2. Activate Group Bookings custom feature on your Custom features page

3. Go to its settings on the right.

4. Here you can specify how many people can be booked in same booking, by same client and edit notification templates related to this feature.

(optional) You can additionally indicate minimum number of allowed group bookings if it is required for your services and as the result the clients will not be able to select the lower number of sessions on the service step of the booking process.<br<

It is possible to set this minimum number for all the services you have. Then please do that in Custom features -> Group bookings -> right side of the page -> Min allowed bookings at a time

Or you can define some number per service/class in Manage -> Services/Classes -> select the service/class -> More options -> Min allowed bookings at a time

How will it look like on the booking page:

The clients will be able to use the arrows to choose the number of participants(the look may differ depending on the theme you have).
