Bookly Cart (Add-on)

Bookly Cart - a shopping cart extension for booking and selling services

Bookly Cart is an add-on designed to transform the service booking process into a multi-step shopping cart. The extension integrates with the Bookly booking system, allowing customers to add multiple services, dates, and participants to a single order. This makes the booking process more flexible, resembling traditional online shopping, and increasing conversions through user convenience.

The most important functionalities of Bookly Cart

• Add multiple services and appointments to one basket – Customers can book multiple appointments or courses in a single order.
• Managing quantities and participants – a useful feature for group bookings, group activities and service packages.
• Keep your cart running between sessions – your cart continues to work after you close the page, improving the user experience.
• Promotions and coupons options – apply discounts to your entire cart or selected items.
• Flexible checkout fields – configurable data required when finalizing a booking, e.g. participant details, service notes, GDPR consents.
• Preview and edit before payment – easily modify dates, number of participants, or services before finalizing your order.

Benefits of using Bookly Cart

Implementing Bookly Cart brings benefits to both service providers and customers. For businesses, this means increased cart value, the ability to sell packages, and simplified management of group bookings. For customers, it translates into an intuitive booking process, time savings, and transparent cost allocation. The cart functionality also helps reduce abandoned bookings by allowing customers to save until the decision is made and applying discounts to larger orders.

Practical applications

• Beauty and hairdressing salons – bookings of several services for one or more people.
• Fitness studios and dance schools – registration for class series and group reservations.
• Doctor's office and wellness - scheduling follow-up visits and therapies in one order.
• Training and workshops – sale of places for participants, possibility of booking multiple dates.
• Service companies - scheduling multiple work dates in different locations within a single order.

Conversion implementation and optimization

Integrating Bookly Cart with an existing reservation system minimizes workload by maintaining existing service and staff configurations. To increase sales effectiveness, leverage cart promotions, present recommendations for complementary services, and simplify the checkout form by leaving only the essential fields. Analyzing cart abandonment data and A/B testing can further improve conversion rates.

Bookly Cart makes it easy to transform your booking website into a powerful service sales channel, increasing your offering flexibility and customer satisfaction. This solution is particularly useful when customers book more than one service or for larger groups.
