Interactive calendar

A calendar that customers can book sessions from. The current calendar lets them choose a session then just redirects to the product page where they have to click again to get the availability up. Ideally, an interactive calendar would be customisable, with colours / images. Customers could view a week at a time and see all slots. When hovering over a slot they can then view more info (product page) or book the slot. I've attached a couple of mock ups from the timetable we use on our website. It would be useful to show sold out slots too, perhaps with a wait list option when hovering.

    Yes I agree, to be able to actually book from that page rather than just redirecting to the product page

    I've just made another request with a mock up, I should have added it here! https://easy-appointment-booking.canny.io/feature-requests/p/interactive-calendar

    Thanks for the super helpful image! We will consider this.

    We need this, too. We don't currently have a tool that readily (and attractively) identifies all available booking options on a given day, leading to lots of wasted clicks.

  5. Made to be MessyMerchant

    Yes 100% this would be incredible!

    Servicify Team I wonder if this could be a Google Calendar integration? If the availability was pushed to Google Calendar like bookings are, then you could show an availability calendar that looks like this with separate bookable appointments? At the moment as a workaround, I've added all of my events to Google Cal and added a link to the product so that customers can go to the product page. It's not perfect but it does give a good overview of available sessions.

    Even better Servicify Team would be a customisable calendar of events, with the events separated and more info available on hover. This website allows Google Calendar customisation (although they don't seem to have any actual humans working there so I wouldn't advise using it) https://app.styledcalendar.com/ If you were to make a customisable booking calendar with similar options, I think people would pay extra for it. If you could even show availability of sessions that would be amazing!

    Aaaand, if you did this for the storefront it would be an amazing way to view bookings etc in the admin view too, with bookings showing and available to check in etc. Kayan asked for a month view for the admin on another request.
