Two event availabilities shown in one booking calendar to point people to another event that is available on the same d…

Original Canny title: Two event availabilities shown in one booking calendar to point people to another event that is available on the same day We currently have two different types of tours running on the same day. At present, if one tour type is fully booked, the date appears unavailable in the calendar, even though another tour on the same day may still have availability. We would like the existing booking calendar widget (not a separate calendar) to better handle multiple event types and communicate availability more clearly. Requested changes: Multiple availability handling If one tour is fully booked but another tour on the same day still has availability, the date should not appear completely unavailable. Users should clearly see that an alternative tour is available. Clear referral to alternative product If a selected tour is fully booked, users should be shown a clear message stating “Fully booked” (instead of “No timeslots left”). Beneath this message, there should be a clear link directing users to the alternative available tour on that same date (for example: “View available afternoon tour”). Ideally, this link should take users directly to the relevant product page. Calendar visual distinction Dates that are entirely unavailable (no tours available at all) should be visually distinct. The current greyed-out styling blends too closely with the rest of the calendar. Fully unavailable dates should use a clearly differentiated colour or styling so users can easily distinguish between: Fully unavailable dates Partially available dates (one event available, one fully booked) Fully available dates When you click on a day, timeslots appear on the right for both events, the secondary event is highlighted in the same colour as the on the calendar and labelled as the other event The goal is to reduce booking drop-off and make alternative availability immediately visible within the same booking flow, rather than requiring users to navigate elsewhere or assume the day is fully booked.

Auto archive event/product once the event date has passed

I am using the plugin on a new site for a client that has monthly classes, each class has a different theme, and needs a different event and product. Would love some way to automatically remove the product from the front-end on the day of the last class to prevent any confusion and accidental booking of past events. Also would prevent my client from having to manually remove them, as their current/old website automatically removes them.

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.

Automatically Charge Customer the Remaining Amount After Taking an initial deposit

It would be extremely handy to be able to automate this whole process. So the customer can pay a deposit to secure their service (already a great feature) but to make it even better a setting to allow you to select a certain number of days before hand for the event their card is automatically charged. Taking away the need to manually be following these bookings and sending the invoice manually.

Date Specific Pricing

Offer a way of creating date specific pricing for services. Either a programmed discount for a set of days or ability to have uniquely priced variants available based on the date of the experience being booked. The idea being that prices/discounts are pre-set automatically by date booked rather than the customer having to choose a differently named variant. So prices are not based on which day a customer is making the booking but rather on the day they are booking for the service/experience. This could allow service providers to make slower days or weeks more appealing to customers. Kind of like when you are booking accommodations and you can see the calendar with the different prices on different days.

Hold Card Payments when booking, instead of charging

Our business takes deposits for bookings to deter no-shows and late cancellations, but we really wish the booking app would take card information and only charge if the customer no-shows or cancels with less than 24hrs notice. As things stand, customers complete two transactions (one when checking out online for a deposit for their appointment) and again when they fully check out in person. This results in our business spending extra in transaction fees (mainly in the +$0.30/transaction). While $0.30 seems small, it adds up with hundreds/thousands of customers. This could be a huge savings to our business, but the deposit has significantly decreased our no-show rate.

Flexible Appointment End Times

Hello, I wanted to submit a feature request for appointment scheduling. It would be really helpful if appointments could have a maximum duration rather than a fixed duration. For example, a service might normally last up to 2 hours, but if a customer books close to the end of business hours, the appointment would automatically end at closing time instead of preventing the booking or extending beyond operating hours. Example: Business hours: 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM Standard appointment length: up to 2 hours Customer books at 4:30 PM Booking is confirmed for 4:30 PM to 5:00 PM This would allow businesses to make use of otherwise unavailable time near closing while still respecting operating hours. Is this something that's currently supported, or would it be possible to consider adding in the future? Thank you!
