Hi there.
Thanks for your response.
You should be able to set the instruments as dummy/placeholder staff member. Each of the staff members will have their own schedule. The system will offer the schedule of the selected instrument (staff member) in the Timestep. Once the staff member is booked for a particular timeslot for a service, that staff member and service are no longer available.
For example, if staff member Superstar is booked on Tuesday at 10 am for service Awesome then staff member Superstar is no longer available on Tuesday at 10 am for any other services she provides. Likewise, other customers will not be able to book service Awesome on Tuesday at 10 am, unless other staff members are set to provide this service.
However, there are available add-ons designed to offer versatility to accomplish preferred features in different scenarios.
I just wanted to clarify how Bookly works with scheduling. It’s all set up on a weekly basis, so when you create schedules for your staff members, those schedules remain consistent week after week. The time slots available in the booking form are based on these schedules, and how the hours are divided and displayed in the form depends on the time slot length you’ve chosen.
Each staff member has their own unique schedule. When a customer books a specific time slot for a service with a staff member, that staff member becomes unavailable for that time slot for any other services. For example, if Superstar is booked for Service Awesome on Tuesday at 10 am, she won’t be available for any other services at that time. Likewise, other customers won’t be able to book service Awesome at that specific time, unless another staff member is assigned to provide that service.
The add-ons https://www.booking-wp-plugin.com/add-ons/ are designed to provide extra flexibility and features to Bookly Pro. To use these add-ons, you’ll need to have Bookly Pro installed and activated, as they complement the main Bookly Pro plugin. When you install them, your booking form will look just like the demo.
Before making a purchase, we recommend checking out our demos or trying the sandbox on a live website to get a better understanding of how Bookly Pro and its add-ons work together. You can access the sandbox mode by going to this link: https://www.booking-wp-plugin.com/create-your-free-sandbox/, entering your email address, clicking on the “Configure” button, and following the steps you’ll receive in your email.
