Hello. We’re sorry to hear you feel this way. We designed Bookly plugin to have basic functionality available for free, with advanced features available through paid add-ons. We provide a comprehensive description of everything included in the free and a default Bookly PRO version, so users can make an informed decision before purchasing.
However, even the free version of Bookly has the Stripe Payments feature included. Certain days can be blocked in the Staff members section > Days Off, or by creating “fake” appointments in the Calendar via admin panel.
If you need any help with the Bookly settings and configuring the plugin to your specific needs, do not hesitate to contact us via our website and we’ll be happy to help.
