= How it works =
After a simple installation process, the website owner can start creating servic
es, which can be provided to the customer upon request: events, meetings, lesson
s, consultations etc. Using integral managing tools, administrators can easily c
hange and customize settings such as set individual schedule for each service pr
ovider, set individual service prices, define working days and hours for the who
le company and for each service provider separately, manage services, customers,
service providers and their availability, view billing information and payment
reports with filters on multiple criteria, add and edit appointments, etc. The p
lugin also has an option to reserve appointments manually through the WP admin p
anel.
Bookly offers interesting solutions to make booking process pleasant for custome
rs: the only thing that is required from the client is to complete 5 easy steps.
The intuitive interface, as well as clear and attractive design make this proce
ss extremely easy. Customers have the possibility to find time convenient for ap
pointments, select service provider, book time and pay for services. One more th
ing that will please your clients is the ability to view the available booking t
ime intervals in their own time zone.
Lets say you have installed the Bookly plugin, but its default design doesnt corre
spond to the appearance of your website. Our developers took care of everything:
you can easily modify the booking form design according to your own needs. Its p
ossible to select the main color and change the fields titles and descriptions.
The plugin offers easy and comfortable way of communication between service prov
iders and customers by using e-mail notifications (available in pro version). Th
ere are several types of notifications for different cases: reminders, confirmat
ions, follow-ups, agendas etc. You may also send notifications to your staff mem
bers, for example to give some information about the next agenda or appointment
details. Website owner can manage all notifications settings in the WP admin pan
el.
Customizable calendar allows looking through appointments schedule for particula
r service provider and can be displayed in two modes: by weeks and by days. Admi
nistrators can also create new appointments and edit the existing ones. There is
also an option to assign the color for each category of services for visual con
venience.
