Taking bookings

Recurring bookings

Let customers book the same time every week or every few weeks, with every date checked.

Note

This is part of Bookline Pro.

Allow it for a service

On the service's page, set Repeats to the most times customers can book in one go (for example 8 for an eight-week course). 0 (the default) means one booking at a time.

What customers do

In "Your details", they choose Repeat: Just this once, Every week, Every 2 weeks or Every 4 weeks, and How many times in all. The confirm step lists every date; dates that aren't free are crossed out and will be left out.

What's booked

Each date is a booking of its own, at the same wall-clock time (also across daylight saving changes), with the same staff member, people and answers.
Later dates can go beyond your booking window; each is checked against your opening hours, days off and other bookings.
Dates that aren't free are skipped, and the customer is told which.
One set of emails, for the first date, listing every date ("Repeats").
With online payment, the whole series is paid at once.

On each booking's screen, the Series box links the other dates. Change or cancel them one by one; customers can too, from each booking's link.
