    Hello!

    I am exploring Amelia for a German outdoor climbing park, which offers both booking for different types of climbing sessions (short and long routes) and the ability to purchase and send gift cards for these services.

    Here are my main questions and inquiries about Amelia’s capabilities:

    1. Booking System:

    ? Is it possible to offer multiple types of sessions (e.g., short and long climbing routes) with different pricing or restrictions (e.g., families with children under 5 may not book the longer route)?

    ? Can I require immediate payment for bookings, or is payment only optional at the time of reservation?

    2. Gift Cards:

    ? Does Amelia have an integrated feature for selling and managing gift cards, does it offer customizable values and designs?

    ? How do gift card codes work in Amelia? Can I customize them to be either sent via email immediately after purchase, or printed and sent manually?

    ? Can gift cards be used as a payment method for booking services, and can I create specific restrictions for their use (e.g., limiting usage to certain sessions)?

    3. Integration with Other Plugins:

    ? Does Amelia support integrations with WooCommerce, specifically for selling gift cards, or would I need to rely on separate plugins?

    ? What integrations have other users found useful for booking systems and gift card management?

    4. General Feedback:

    ? Has anyone used Amelia for a booking site similar to a climbing park? How do you find the system works with managing both bookings and gift cards simultaneously?

    ? Any recommendations for additional plugins or add-ons that could enhance the experience?

    I’m hoping to find the best solution for managing bookings and gift cards in one system, and I would appreciate any feedback or advice from the community!

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out and considering Amelia for your outdoor climbing park! Here are answers to your main questions:1. Booking System

    • Multiple Session Types: Yes, you can set up various climbing sessions (e.g., short and long routes) with specific pricing and durations. However, Amelia does not support conditional logic based on custom fields, meaning you cannot automatically block bookings based on customer age. Instead, age restrictions would need to be communicated clearly in the session descriptions.
    • Immediate Payment: You can require immediate payment during booking. Supported payment methods include Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Square, and WooCommerce.

    2. Gift Cards

    • Gift Card Feature: Amelia does not have a built-in gift card feature. However, you can offer gift cards using WooCommerce, although this will depend on WooCommerce’s own gift card plugins, which are external to Amelia’s scope.

    3. Integration with Other Plugins

    • WooCommerce Integration: Amelia integrates well with WooCommerce for handling payments. However, it does not directly integrate with WPForms or Mailchimp.
    • Mailchimp Integration via Hooks: While there is no direct integration with Mailchimp, it is possible to connect Mailchimp using webhooks or Amelia’s custom hooks for more advanced setups.

    4. General Feedback and Recommendations

    • Similar Use Cases: Amelia has been used successfully by various activity centers, including outdoor parks. Users have found it effective for managing session bookings and streamlining payment processes.

    If you need further assistance or have additional questions, feel free to ask!
